Weigh In–Week One
So last week on Monday I said that I weighed 176lbs. It has been a week and now it is time for me to weigh in. I am going to treat this blog like a weight watchers meeting. Every week I will weigh in and tell you my progress.
Me 4/29/13 176lbs
This week I 
weigh–wait for it–176lbs! That’s right I didn’t lose a single pound last week! Bummer right? Well it isn’t as bad as all that because I have decided I would also take measurements. So the verdict on that is–I lost an inch in the biceps, waist, hips, and upper and lower thighs. I also lost a half inch in the bust and around my neck so all in all not a terrible week.
The great thing about this is that I know that I am doing everything I can. I am eating healthy and exercising as often as possible (at least 4 days a week). I am counting calories and not skipping meals and snacking on healthy stuff throughout the day. I have done everything I can and my body just decided it didn’t want to give it up this week. That is ok. I feel great and I am losing inches. Over all I am doing really well. I have lost 3 lbs in two weeks and that is still really good.
Starting Weight 185
So this week I am the tortoise but that is what we want right? Slow and steady. This is about changing the way I think about food and the way I live my life. This is about learning to make good food choices and to master self control. I am on my way to doing that and so excited about the progress that I have made in the last two weeks.
For the first time, I stepped on the scale, saw that I hadn’t lost any weight, and did not feel guilt or even frustration. I allowed myself grace realizing that it isn’t about size it is about being healthy. Don’t get me wrong I want to lose weight and that is still a huge goal of mine, but I am in this for the long haul!
In other news, I cut my hair off! 13 inches or more and I absolutely love it! What do you think?
Good job and love love love the new ‘do! Go you!!!
