Well, this week's weigh in was not nearly as impressive as the last few weeks. I sort of knew it would have to even out so I'm trying to stay super motivated... but still... as soon as it starts just moving in .5 increments it starts to feel like my goal is soooooo far away.
Yesterday discouraging thing #2 happened because G and I went to the Goodwill outlet and I found an armload of really cute clothes - I was pumped because I got them all for such an awesome deal! Unfortunately I must have also been smoking crack while I was there because when I got home I discovered that NONE of it fit me... most of the pants I could not even manage to button... Not exactly encouraging - so I guess I'm going into this week feeling full on fat. Bah.
Next week is going to be the four week mark and it will be time for a progress picture. I'm hoping a feel good enough about myself to force me into spandex again - right now I'd rather hide under my bed.
Here are my stats as of today:
Weigh in from last week (9/15):141.7
Today's weight (9/23): 138.0
Challenge points Earned: 21
Weight loss for the week: 0.6 pounds
Weight loss so far: 10.3 pounds
Percent of body weight lost: 6.95%
I have crossed the 10 pound mark, that is nothing to sneeze at - I'm going to let myself be proud of that one - maybe I'll even let myself celebrate by going to an actual store and finding a pair of pants that will button. I DO need to reward myself because I think it will help me feel a little bit more like I'm accomplishing something. I also drank at least a full bottle of wine on Saturday night, I'm sure my body is retaining water from that bender, I was prepared to see it reflected on the scale - although my brain still gets hooked.
Other things to be positive about: I ran FOUR days last week, every school day but Wednesday, and on Weds I did some toning exercises with Liz, then last night I did pilates too, which gave me exercise points for 6 out of 7 days, not too shabby. I'm also starting to REALLY love my morning runs - I even am not finding it too difficult to convince myself to put a sports bra on when I get up. I'm almost done with week three of C25K so I'm pretty confident I can make it up to the 5k by my run October 20th. It's raining today, so I'm going to be total kick ass when I'm out there running, hopefully I don't freeze though!
This week I'm going to ick off another bootcamp week - time to wash that crap out of my system, maybe it will perk me up some too...
Onward.
