Rough Week Ends with Joy!

At my Tuesday weigh-in, I was down 3.2 pounds.  My WW total weight removal is 20 pounds!  YEA!! 

I have had a rough week, not fallen off the wagon, but a rough week.  We have eaten out many days- pizza, bbq, Bob Evans, staff meeting, chinese, and an adoption party.  Also, due to a huge blisters on my feet, cold weather, lack of baby-sitter and head cold, my exercise for this weeks SUCKS!!!  So far, I have only earned 3 activity points.  My goal is at least 20 points a week!  I am trying to not get discouraged.  At this point, I am 13.5 points over my weekly allowance.  I have 3 days left.  I am praying that I can get at least 2 four-mile walks in and one day at Curves.  That would give me 12 points.  Not sure if this will work or not, but I will feel much better.  Blister and Rain GO AWAY!

Also, at my staff meeting, no one noticed my weight loss unless they knew I had lost.  I was a little disappointed.  Instead of getting discouraged, I have counted down the weeks until my next staff meeting- 8 weeks.  My goal is to  lost another 15 pounds.  That would be a total loss of 35 pounds.  I bet they will notice then!

On a Good Note for this weekend, a close college friend spent the night with us on Friday night.  She was my workout partner in college and we had so much catching up to do.  She didn't realize that I have been working out and lost my 20 pounds.  We have a similar drive for exercise, even though she is at her ideal weight and I am not.  We have different lifestyles and different body types and she has to work hard to maintain her ideal weight.  She just finished a Full Marathon!  I shared my desire to walk the Half-Marathon in May.  She began to tell me all about her training for the Full Marathon- food, hours of running, and blisters!  After we stayed up late talking, I went to bed second guessing my desire to walk the Half in May.  The next morning, I told her I don't think I am up to doing a Marathon.  Then I asked if a half was as bad?  She said she also thought about it last night and decided she would come in May to walk with me in my first marathon.  Thinking back on this, I tear up.  She is 7 hours away, but she is part of my support group for my weight removal.  To think that she would drive 7 hours and walk with me for 13.1 miles just overwhelms me with joy.  Thank you for believing in me!
