I DID IT!!!

I lost my first five pounds!! I weighed in Saturday morning at 192 pounds, which is a 5.4 pound loss in one week!  I am so excited and so proud!!  It's hard work but it's worth it!

I keep envisioning what I will feel like and look like when I get to my goal weight.  I keep reminding myself how healthy I will be and how healthier I am getting each and every day.  I'm seeing so much change in my body now from going to the gym every day and losing even just that 5.4 pounds!

My struggles this past week were:

1.  Last night our youth at church went bowling and we have bowling, pizza and soda while we bowl.  I went bowling, ordered a chef salad without dressing and croutons and brought my own water bottle full of water and a slice of lemon.  I was so proud of myself for not grabbing a slice of pizza because it smelled soooooooooo YUMMY!!!! BUT.. I went home feeling great and woke up feeling even greater by knowing that I have stayed on track and have eaten clean and healthy!  

So far that's the ONLY struggle I had this week, and it really wasn't a struggle for me - just a test of what I will have to face on a day to day basis and I passed the test! I went to Planet Fitness every single day this week except for yesterday, Sunday, but I bowled for about 3 hours Sunday night, so I got in my exercise! 

My goal is to lose 5 pounds a week.  My goal is to get a 5 pound star each and every week for as long as I can, which is hopefully for at least 8 weeks.  Wouldn't that be nice? Yes, Lisa.  That would be nice!!  I am on my way!!

A Weight Watchers Tool

I'm still on track with Weight Watchers! Yay me!!!  And I am so excited and and motivated and dedicated and feel confident that this time it WILL work for me because I have to WORK for it!  

I have been using my iphone to track and I LOVE IT!!  Weight Watchers has a mobile app that allows you to enter foods, or scan items and it enters it for you, enter activities and then it actually keeps up with my points for me!  I absolutely LOVE this tool and feel that it will be the most helpful of anything that I've ever used.  Even if I go out to a restaurant I can look up food points value before I get there or when I get there to make sure I stay on track.  If I can't get my points value then I can take a photo of what I ate and calculate the points later. Win Win Win!!
