So I was up 3.8 yesterday at WW. Not nearly as bad as it could have been, but I think it psychologically affected me because the rest of the afternoon I “felt” fat. It’s amazing to me how many times my logical brain and my “feeling” brain don’t match up. Logically I KNOW that I’m on the track back down and I know that February’s weigh in will tell a much different story, yet I still felt down. This is why psychologists make so much money!

On the working out front, I’m so sore. All of this working out is finally starting to catch up to me. I know that soreness = goodness in the land of weight lifting, so I’m not going to give up. But damn my body wants to. I’m trying to stretch throughout the day to hopefully loosen my muscles before going to the gym today, so I hope that helps. I’m trying to keep that bikini vision as well…I can do this, I will do this, etc.

I’ll update with my menu tonight to keep myself on track and I finally figured out how to post pictures, which are on the “About Me” page.

Flex Points left for the week: 31

On the workout front, after our 20 minutes of Cardio, we did 15 minutes of stretching, then did about 20 minutes of pilates type strengthening moves. I think it is what both of us needed because my muscles feel so much better!

It’s weigh in day at WW. Again, the reason I’m concerned is that I just got back from my honeymoon and I know there will be a gain. I’m one of those “people pleasers” which is why WW worked so well for me. I have the need to please those ladies at WW, and today will not be one of those days. However, I weighed myself this morning at home and I’m down 3.4 pounds from last Wednesday, so it could be much much worse.

On the working out front, it’s been 8 straight days of working out, which I think may be a record for me. I’m not one of those people who loves working out, in fact I cannot stand it, but I am motivated by the thought of myself in a bikini this summer. I also have a Spring Break trip to New York planned in March and my 10-year high school reunion is coming up this year, so I have some motivator points to strive towards.

Once I figure out how to post photos and my menu on here I will…I think I need to explore the Weight Watchen community a bit more to figure that out. If anyone has any advice or can steer me in that direction, it would be great!

Alright….here I go. Finally jumping on to this weight loss blogging train! I’ve been reading them for so long, I decided I wanted my own place to be accountable to my food choices and my activity. My friend and I decided to join our recreation center offered by our job and get into great shape this year. I spent last year achieving the weight loss I had always dreamed of, and this year I want to prove to myself that I can be “in shape” as well. So I want to start writing it out to keep myself on track this year!!

As of Tuesday January 22nd, I’ve worked out everyday and kept my points right at my daily target of 20. I weigh in officially on Wedensday at Weight Watchers, but I know it’s going to be a gain. I got married on December 31st and spent my wedding week, and the honeymoon eating blissfully and unaccountably. After a week of “transition” and way too much candy, I’m back on track. So even though I know I will show a big gain at WW, I know I’m back on track and ready to tackle this.

So here we go!!
