weigh in tuesday

I promise to start posting more than just my weight loss updates. But, in all honesty....this is really what I am focused on right now...so it feels like this is all I have to talk about. :)

I do have some more book reviews and some pictures from the stock show...maybe I will get those up later this week!

But for now....my weigh in update!

I lost 2 lbs this week. I was actually kind of surprised because I stepped on the scale at the apartment right before I left...and it had me up a couple of pounds. Moral of the story...I need to quit weighing at home...it's giving me anxiety!! Ha.

Anyway...I'm down 13.4. Still looking forward to getting that 15lb star...was hoping for it tonight...but I'm okay waiting another week!

I've gone three weeks without regular soda. I do have diet (and if I can help it, caffeine free) coke a couple of times a week...maybe 3 at the most.

I've also gone three weeks without any sweets like cookies, candy, ice cream, brownies, etc. This is HUGE for me. I have such a sweet tooth. C and I had got in a really bad habit of having treats almost every day. Now...if I want a dessert...I get an apple or banana with some reduced fat peanut butter and maybe...1/2 T nutella.

I've also started working out some more. We've walked...both on the track and in the gym... a couple of times. Mostly, I've been trying to ride my bike (stationary recumbant bike). I know that isn't the best form of cardio out there...but it's better than laying on the couch reading!

C took some more pictures of me on Saturday...I guess they are semi before/progress pictures. He took some this past summer at close to my highest weight. I need to find those and compare!

I also took my measurements today. Then I looked up celebrity measurements just to get some bearing on where I stood. Ha....do not do that!! Talk about depressing! Ha.

I have a couple more changes I am going to try and incorporate this week. Hopefully, it will be as smooth of a transition as the rest has been. All these years, I've made weight loss out to be this really difficult journey. I'm not saying it's been a walk in the park the last 3 weeks...but it is surprisingly easy. So much easier than I figured it would be!!

Which is great...because I still have quite a long road ahead of me!
