Official Weigh In Results (Week of June 8th)

Posted kiki on June 10th, 2008 | Filed under Weekly Weigh-In Stats

This morning went well. My scale read 169. At the doctors, it read 171. So they wrote down in their records that I lost 8 pounds. I was a little disappointed at first until I started looking at the big picture. Which is: I LOST WEIGHT.

I feel healthy because I am eating better and my energy level is up and up and up. I don’t lag in the morning or need coffee either. I can get up and workout with ease. This morning I had to fight with myself for 10 minutes though. It is usually my mind that plays these tricks on me. It was telling me that I was still sleepy and lay back down. But my body was up and ready to go. I did lie back down for 5 or 7 minutes, but I eventually made myself get up and leave out of the room to go downstairs and workout.

It was a tough workout. I haven’t really done cardio/weight lifting (dvds) in awhile. Remember, I’ve been outside walking these days. (Soon I will be bike riding outside). But I got through the workout and felt great afterward.

So the lesson in all of this. STAY MOTIVATED. It’s not that bad giving up the foods you like until you’re at a maintenance level. Really, I’m being honest. Like I said it’s more of a mind thing. If you want to lose weight, hang in there and don’t be so hard on yourself. Do it at your own pace. Moderation is key as I’m learning. I feel fantastic. I will be 150 by sometime in July. This I am certain of. I have a birthday in July and I might just skip my birthday cake this year.

Ahhhh, but there will be wedding cake in September, and I will be eating it
