7 down!

Well, my first weigh in last week was a success! I lost 7 pounds!  YAY!  I am really happy with that. I could have done better on some things, but this is about learning and a journey t a healthy life, I'm not going to be perfect all the time.

I missed my meeting this week, so I need to be accountable here to you guys.  I weighed in yesterday afternoon and had lost about 3 pounds.  So that would be a total of 10 which is awesome.  I may be able to make a meeting tonight, but I'm not sure.  I missed the meeting yesterday afternoon because of a meeting for work. DUMB!  I was worried about my weigh-in a little bit because I had an unexpected trip up to Utah this last week.  I found out that a close friend of mine decided to leave this Earth.  So, I packed up and flew there to pay respect and say goodbye.  It was a really hard week.  I did my best to stay on plan, and I definitely did better than I would have if I hadn't joined WW.  This thing I struggled with most was Healthy Checks- I stayed in my point range, but was only getting 2-3 fruits and veggies, and no milk.  I did get my healthy fats in- isn't that the easy one.... haha 


Anyway, my new week starts today and I need to be focused. I didn't gain, but I didn't lose much either. I know that the WW scale weighs me a little heavier than mine at home, so I maybe lost 1 pound.  I GOTTA be good this week. I want a bigger loss.

My goals for this week :

• EAT ALL 5 of my Fruits and Veggies!!!
• Start taking a daily Vitamin
• do my Yoga DVD at least 1 day this week
• MILK / Calcium pill

I hope that everyone has a good week! 

What are your goals this week?

reasons why :

So, I've been told to write down all the reasons why I want to lose weight no matter how silly they are so that when i am having a hard day I can look back and remember- okay this is why.  I am going to try to be very transparent here in the blogger world.  I don't have any idea who is reading this, if anyone, but I guess this is a place for me to write, and feel free, and honest, and not be worrying who is judging me-  This is MY JOURNEY to finding myself, and seeing myself how I want to be seen.

OKAY- reason why I want to lose weight :

• I want to be healthy!  Yes, I want to look and feel good, but that's not necessarily for "BEAUTY". 
• I want to feel confident in my skin.
• Know the seat belt is going to fit. (rides, planes, cars)
• Fit in the booth at a restaurant without out being squished.
• Buy clothes in ANY store- not just stores with a plus size section.
• I want to be able to RUN a mile without stopping.
• Be noticed by guys- not just for looks, but given the chance to actually show people who I really am.
• Date
• CONFIDENCE. My weight holds me back in MANY aspects of my life. 
• Be in pictures and not hate them
• BE that health nut.
• Conquer this addiction!
• Get a pixie haircut
• Get myself ready to have kids
• avoid Diabetes which runs in the family
• lower my blood pressure
• not be ashamed and scared to go to the Doctor for a checkup
• Make the Ghana life easier. (I want to go again, for a longer time)
  
  
  
  I know there are more reasons, but these are just some that I can think of right now.  Thanks for reading and for being supportive!
