This weeks weigh in was a mystery!

Weight last week: 199
Weight this week: 195.5

Lost this week: 3.5 lb

Total lost so far: 109 lbs

Left to lose: 46.5 lbs

This weigh in made up for last weeks weigh in. I can't make any sense out of it though. I ate really bad 3 days this past week. My body pretty much does what ever it wants to.

What a mystery indeed.

I did everything right this week?

I did everything right this week. I stayed on plan every day this week for the first time in at least a month. I worked out more than I had in the last month combined. I really expected a big loss. The last several weeks I have been having lots of little 1/2 or 1 lb losses. So guess what I lost this week. Yep, a whopping 1/2 lb! I am thankful that I lost instead of gained. I just don't understand why I didn't lose more. I was really confident that I was going to post a big number. Weight loss makes no sense to me. When I think I have it figured out my body goes and does what ever it wants to. Ugh. Of course I ate bad last night. Not horribly bad but bad none the less. We had Zaxby's for dinner. I got a Zalad but it had Blue Cheese dressing. Who knew that Zaxby's blue cheese dressing is 6 points a pack??? Yeah, I ate bad. So back on the horse today. I will have a bigger loss one of these days I just have to stay on track. Wish me better luck this week!

First Officially Timed 5K

Saturday Jon and I ran in the 2nd Annual March against Meth in our county. It was the first officially timed 5K we have done. I finished in 45:50 and Jon finished in 45:52. I was so excited by the fact that we didn't finish last. There were 7 or 8 people that finished behind us. Now I'm not so nervous about the PeachTree 10K. I just want to finish it. Yay us!

Wow.;~"199.5"~;.Wow

Yes, BethBeth! I am now in Onderland! Thank you for noticing. It is quite amazing to say that. It still seems unreal to me. I hadn't posted about it on here yet because I wasn't sure that I believed it. Me! In the 190's? Really? No way!!! I am! For the first time in 15 years! I couldn't be happier and sadder all at the same time. I am happy because I am doing it. I am becoming what I want to be. I am seeing that I can be and do anything I want to. It is freeing to know that I can do this and that I am doing it. I am proud. It also saddens me to know that I could have done this a long time ago. I didn't have to live the last 20 years of my life in shame. I didn't have to suffer through my teenage years being the "fat girl". It makes me sad that I still have so much to lose. I can't believe that I let myself get so far gone before I decided to fix it. It makes me wonder what is different this time. Why did it finally click for me. My life wasn't so bad. Not like when I was a teen and just wanted to fit in but never did because of my size. Hell, I didn't fit into anything back then. Not my pants, not my shirts. Well, you get the picture. I have also noticed that my outlook on my life is changing as I lose weight and that scares me. But that is another post altogether. :) So many emotions tied to one little number. Seeing the 1XX is freeing, fantastic, scary and so wonderful all at the same time. Buckle your seat belt cause 180's here I come!

First week without a post. :(

I am not sure why I haven't found the time to post at least once this week. Summer time is a crazy busy time. Last Tues at weigh in I had lost another 1.5 lbs bringing my weight to 200.5 lbs and my total lost to 104 lbs. That is FANTASTIC! Jon stayed the same last week. He is so close to his goal weight that it has gotten harder for him to lose weight. He will reach his goals. I believe in him. We have really been trying to work out more lately. It seems that my weight loss has slowed to a crawl this week because of the exercising. I don't know if it is water retention for muscle repair or what but it is making me crazy. I know that my body is changing even if the number isn't getting lower on the scale everyday. I hope to show at least a small loss tomorrow but I guess we will have to wait and see. I plan on posting updated progress photos of myself sometime today or tomorrow. Jon took some pictures of my yesterday that I can FINALLY see a difference in. I am so excited about that. We are well on our way. Training for the Peachtree Road Race. Not going to get a good time but we are going to finish it and that is the most important thing this year. We will work on bettering our times next year. Gotta go clean. Post pictures soon!
