The Skinny On January

Thoughts Before Weigh In

I want to write my thoughts down before weigh in. This way, no matter what the results, I will have written how I am feeling without the influence of the nasty scale. I am proud of myself. I started exercising again. I have done well sticking to less points this week. I am making better choices and enjoying eating healthier foods. When I have wanted a treat, I have had it, but don’t go overboard. I’m getting back to good habits, finally!

No matter what the scale says tonight (man I should go to a morning weigh in!), I know that I have made positive changes the last few days. Keeping up this way and improving even more will show me healthy results.

Pictures

Ok, I took some gross pictures before Weight Watchers. I can’t bring myself to post them. I will post them when I have had some weight loss and can compare the two. Sorry to disappoint.

Not Just About Being Skinny

Brandon is right, I can’t only focus on weight loss. Before, I only focused on being healthy and the weight came off as a side effect. One of the biggest things I want to change right now is how I feel. Every morning I wake up and feel so old. My body aches. Part of this is probably lack of sleep, but I have never felt like this before. I want this extra weight off of me, because know I will have more energy, won’t feel so achy and feel younger again!

I am noticing that I really do need to start taking care of myself. I can see it in pictures of myself lately. Taking care of my skin, getting sleep, doing things for myself, exercising and eating good foods are imperative to my well being right now. I know when my kids are grown I can focus even more on things I want to discover and experience, but for now I can at least make myself a little more of a priority.

Weigh In

My mom-in-law just called and told me she lost 2.5 lbs her first week! That is awesome! She was diligent and has completely stuck to her points and started exercising again. Way to go mom!

OK, no more putting it off. The verdict is in for week 2. I lost 3.4 lbs! Oh ya baby! So, I lost the 1.2 lbs from last week and another 2.2 lbs, which is my total weight loss for 2 weeks!
