Confession Time

Ok so...first things first...last week...I lied to you...I lied to me. This is sad.

After the first awesome week on Weight Watchers, well...the second week was NOT awesome. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted all that week and lied to you guys when I said I got on the scale and it hadn't moved.

The truth is...I didn't even get on the scale because I was too afraid of the damage I KNEW I had done.

However, I have been 100% good this week...I faced the scale and it hasn't changed since two weeks ago. So I really must have done some damage that week I was balls out eating.

I did take all of my measurements this morning and will take them again one month from now. I do know I have lost 3 inches in my waist since I started this journey. That's something.

So this is the start of the new week. I will admit that I was angry with myself and got a pumpkin spice latte on the way in, but all of my healthy food is here for the rest of the day. I WILL stay on track!!!

I heart Weight Watchers!

You guys you guys! I weighed in this morning and am down 2.8 for a total of....10.8 (since July)!! I finally hit and crossed the 10-pound mark!!!

Something huge...I NEVER, EVER look at myself in the mirror unclothed, right? Well...I did today for the first time in forever. No, I'm not ready for Playboy just yet, but the big news is...I didn't HATE myself!!! For the first time in a long time I felt somewhat comfortable in my own skin. Guys, this is huge for me. Huge!

I am really liking Weight Watchers...I like that I am never starving. I like that I can eat "normal" foods that are actually good for me and still lose weight. This is working! My goals for next week are:

- work out at least 5 days/week
- drink at least 80 oz of water/day
- stay within my points
- lose 2 lbs

Rededication to Fitness

Since I rededicated to the eating portion of being healthy (by joining Weight Watchers online) I feel it's time to rededicate to my working out.

For a while I was doing Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred DVD 5 days per week and by the end of 3 weeks I was up to doing Level 2 without breaks. Then I took a break...only a much longer break than I intended ;)

Now I'm back and I'm going to do it and the Kettlenetics workout together. I think I will do the strength/toning from Kettlenetics in the morning and Shred after work. I seem to not be able to do too much cardio first thing in the morning...I just run out of steam and only do things 50%.

I did discover that by having a serving of edamame as my late afternoon snack that I can really power through a workout. I bought 8 servings of it at Sam's this past weekend. It's just steamed soybeans in the pod with some salt, but they are great for munching...99 cals and 8g protein.
