It's been a few days since I last wrote. Between work, errands, cooking, cleaning, etc. I have had no time to write.
On Thursday I joined Weight Watchers at my school. It's $10 to join and there are no actual "meetings" like WW, but I get weighed in every Thursday, along with other teachers that joined, and if I gain any weight, I have to pay $3.00 a pound! So, if there was a chance I could slip before, it's gone now! I literally cannot afford to gain weight!
At my first weigh-in, I weighed 211 pounds. I lost 6 pounds the first week. What's great now is that I will have a weigh-in at the same time every week on the same scale every week. This should help my weigh-ins be consistent.
What's even better is that because of what I'm doing, several people have told me that I have inspired them to start losing weight. I definitely cannot fail or else I will be letting those people down. Worst of all - I'd let myself down.
I didn't get to work out on Wednesday or Thursday... but I did work out Monday which made up for Thursday. I went to the gym yesterday and it felt INCREDIBLE! I only did 1 hr of cardio due to time constraints, but I worked hard! I'll be heading back at some point today, and definitely going back tomorrow! *Mental note: need to charge my ipod*
I know the second week is going to be a hard week. With 6 pounds gone... I know I won't see high numbers like that again. I have to remember that slower is better. I have 61 more pounds I want to lose... I anticipate it is going to take me almost a year to reach that goal. I just have to keep reminding myself: Do NOT give up.
I hope people still read this LOL . Feel free to leave comments! I like hearing what you have to say, or questions you have, or just hearing whatever you have to say! :)
I'll write soon! :)

"I literally cannot afford to gain weight" That had me chuckling to myself. What I like about the way you're going about it is that there is consistancy in your schedule. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you're doing great and are so happy! I've been looking into joining a gym now too, I'm craving that post workout feeling you keep talking about! Do you put Joshua in the daycare at the gym or workout when Adam is home? If you do the daycare, do they charge per month too?
ReplyDeleteI workout when Adam is home. The gym I go to doesn't have daycare. But I know that LA Fitness charges 20 a month for daycare, but they don't change diapers or feed the baby... or deal with the baby if he/she is crying either.
