Woo Hoo!!!

Another .4 gone!!! I was really nervous about my weigh in on Monday because when I had weighed in on Monday morning at home, I was only showing a .2 loss. I was worried after I ate and went about my day, I might show a gain. But, no!! I lost .4 pounds! :D

My goals for this week are to track everything I eat and get at least 2 liters of water a day. I didn't quite hit that 2 liter mark yesterday, but I'm going to make up for at least 1 liter today and aim for 3. If I make it, that's great, and if not, that's fine too. I would like to lose at least 1 pound this week, if not more. I am 1.4 away from my lowest weight so far on WW and I would really love to surpass it. I just know that if I set a goal for 2 pounds and don't make it, I'll be really discouraged and might eat something I don't really need. 1 pound for the week is a much more attainable goal to reach.

I have 13 weeks until the first wedding I'm in. I want to look awesome!! If I lose 1 pound each week, that will put me 4 pounds above my goal. I reached my first mini goal of staying on plan for 2 weeks on Monday. I am going to get my nail polish this weekend. :D Next goal: Average 10,000 steps per day for 3 weeks. So far today, I have 3332 and I haven't gone out for a walk. I think I may need to lower the daily steps for now to 7500 until I can get there on a daily basis for a couple of weeks. Once I hit that, then I can up it to the 10,000. I think that's what I'm going to do. So, my new goal is 7500 steps per day for at least 3 weeks and I can get some new workout shorts. When I get to 10,000 steps per day for at least 3 weeks, I can get a workout shirt to go with them.

I am going to start working on doing some strength training too. At this point, I need to try to stick with dumb bells and my own body resistance. I am going to do push-ups, squats, lunges, biceps curls, shoulder raises, shoulder presses, rows, triceps dips and tricpes extensions. I will work on these things 2 days a week to start out. I am going to do 3 sets of 12 weight exercises and 25 lunges and squats each day. As far as the push-ups are concerned, I am going to do as many as I can without falling on my face! Once I can do 10 fairly easily, I'll start adding a few as needed.

I am much more encouraged with my weight loss over the past two weeks and it just goes to show that journaling really does work!!

Anyway, I need to get back to work. I'll try to post in a couple days.
