Saturday Weigh-In Febraury 4th

Saturday Weekly weigh-in. I was kind of dragging myself toward the scale this morning and on the same note it was the first thing I thought about when I woke up.

January 14th Weigh-In: 236lbs

February 4th Weigh-In: 228lbs

Weight loss/gain: -8lbs

When I started writing this post I was sort of disappointed with my progress. I have clothes in my closet I have purchased as goal pieces that I don't fit into yet. I was focusing on that. I just walked away for a minute and came back. That's nonsense! Its frankly a stronger word than that. 8Lbs in three weeks rocks. I have 53lbs to go. That might intimidate some people but it makes me so happy. When you start with 160-165lbs to go, 53lbs looks a little softer. And I'm going to rock it.

In the last three days I have been struggling, sometimes when I work so hard on my body I forget my head. That it needs almost as much work as my body does. Losing pounds does not equal confidence and a high self esteem, that's such a misconception. My goal this week is not only to lose weight and watch my calories and exercise but also make sure positive thoughts are battling negative ones and not letting them win.

Goal for next week: 225lbs

This will be challenging. I know there isn't going to be too many more weeks where I can bang out 3lbs and it will settle into 2lbs always and then heaven forbid, the dreaded 1lb.

Today I ate a few things I shouldn't have, like my dad's incredible ribs. I didn't eat a ton of them and I had some sushi for lunch but I did workout and I'm hoping to gain back any ground lost today this week coming. I am also going to be taking free yoga classes my gym offers this week. I really want to be a lot more flexible than I am. We'll see how my body feels about that.
