Going strong!

It's been so hard to get on here and write as much as I would like to. This week was especially hard because work was insanely stressful due something called the Quality Review. Even with all the stress piled on my shoulders, I was still able to lose 1.4 pounds, bringing me down to 209.6 and losing a total of 7.4 pounds.

I decided after that weigh-in that I really wanted to buy a scale of my own. I love getting weighed in every week at work, but I won't lie, I was completely disappointed when I saw that the number hadn't changed much.

Friday I went out and bought the same scale that I get weighed on at work. I immediately weighed myself to see if the numbers were relatively the same from the day before (obviously taking into consideration that I was wearing a different outfit and it was also at night rather than in the morning). I was pleased to see that the numbers matched nicely.

Now each morning, prior to eating anything or doing any physical activity, I weigh myself. This way, I'm getting a more accurate reading and can keep track of my daily progress.

I am pleased to say that as of this morning, I have lost a total of 8.8 pounds :) Not too shabby for 2 weeks 2 days! I'm currently 208.2 lbs. I'm 1.2 pounds away from my February 1st goal... I won't be losing that by tomorrow morning HAHA. It's not February 1st, but I'm going to make a new goal based on today's reading:

By February 13th, my goal is weigh 204 lbs. I'm making my goals smaller because I won't be losing big numbers like I did my first week. But again, if I reach that goal prior to February 13th, I will make a new goal. I cannot wait to get out of the 200s! It's going to feel SO good!

So, I purchased The Biggest Loser game for Wii and I must say - I LOVE IT! I get a schedule of workouts, I keep track of additional activity that I do, participate in challenges, weekly weigh-ins, track my daily calories...

I'm also obsessed with WW cookbooks! I am going out today to buy a few more. I'm living off of weight watchers recipes.

Well, time to get myself ready for the gym!!

See you later, followers!
