Week 3

I love it when our Weight Watchers leader ends the meeting. I hope to see less of you next week! At first I didn't really understand what she meant but then I got it! DUH! So Week 3 is in the bag and here is what I have for you:

Highlights
I continued the C25K program and added some abdominal exercises. Lord knows I needed to!
I purchased two new "gadgets" to aid in my journey. More on those at another time!
I tried another new "food". More on that another time!
I ate like crap 3 nights out of 7. Not really a highlight but it tasted soooo good!
After eating/drinking like crap for 3 nights in a row, I jumped right back on the train and continued the journey.
Took the kiddos to the National Zoo and walked over three miles with a 16 lb infant strapped to me, pushing a stroller with a ton of weight in it, and dragging a 4 year old up the hill at the end! AND I WASN'T HUFFING AND PUFFING!
Went out to lunch at a very tempting restaurant but chose a salad (no dressing) and a half sandwich (no cheese) instead!

Lowlights
I ate like crap 3 nights out of 7.
Still haven't mastered the whole saying "NO" thing.
Drank too much Diet Coke. Trying to cut it down to one a day (it is my coffee) but I just seem to need two a day to keep me going.


As I look back at the highlights/lowlights...I am pleased. I am still pumped to be on this journey and I am really enjoying it! I think that the fact that I am enjoying what I am doing helps A LOT! Heading to tonight's meeting I was pretty sure that I would not lose much or maybe even gain and I was OK with that. I had a great week seeing friends that I don't get to see often and celebrating with family. Boy was I surprised when I got on the scale and heard "Good Job, you're down 1.4lbs!" Yep, that's right...I hit the 10lb mark! My total weight lost is 10.6lbs! Not only am I down 10lbs but I have now lost over 5% of my total body weight. Can't wait to hit 10%!!! That my friends,is my motivation this week. It took me 3 weeks to hit 5%, how long do you think it will take me to hit 10%?
