Week 2 weigh in......down 4.6lbs!!!! That would be 10.4lbs in 2 weeks!!! I don't think I have EVER in my life lost 10.4lbs in 2 weeks! I remember last year in May when I really started counting calories I was all excited because I lost 11lbs in a month...I had never done that before! This time around with WW they have added the 5% goal. They used to have your 10% be your first goal to focus on, but now they have 5% first since I guess even just losing 5% has major health benefits. My 5% goal is 11lbs (and yes, those of you who can do math have just figured out my starting weight....whatever)! I am now .6lbs away from this first goal! 2 weeks of such significant weight loss has me
I swear, this is the easiest WW has ever felt! We went to the fair today and yet I still only ate a total of 39 points today. I earned some activity points walking around at the fair and will earn plenty more throughout the week (if I can only shake this cold that makes me not want to do anything)! What I find funny is that it's only been 2 weeks on the program, but there are some changes happening here. I actually really don't like the fair. It's hot...crowded...full of bees....no shade...no place to sit...smelly, etc. I've always enjoyed going to the fair for the FOOD. Today we got fried veggies to share and I got a gyro for lunch. I ate about 2/3 of the gyro and maybe half of the veggies. The veggies were making my stomach hurt (ugh..very fried) and I was full so I stopped eating! Later in the day we got an elephant ear for the 4 of us to split. I probably had 4 small bites. I LOVE elephant ears...but this one didn't taste good at all. Perhaps it was just not a good elephant ear -but I can't ever remember a time in the past when I didn't like an elephant ear! Perhaps it's this cold - but I don't frankly care what the reason was...I didn't really want to eat!
So....on to week 3. A good first day especially considering it's Labor Day weekend. Tomorrow is another family birthday, but I'm really not concerned. I'll eat what I want and track it. My attitude is totally different this time. I hope to feel well enough to run tomorrow so I can earn some activity points! :) But, in order to do that I think I need to go to bed (again...since I came home from the fair this afternoon and slept for 3 hours)!
AAARRRRGGGHHHH! When are you going to learn to truly celebrate your accomplishments before you worry about what comes next. You have lost almost 11 pounds in two weeks... eating sensibly and exercising regularly. WHY would you be nervous about the NEXT weigh-in? Take a moment. Relax and enjoy where you are. Especially enjoy your new outlook on food in general. THAT is a major, perhaps life-changing achievement.
