It’s the night before weigh in and I am wondering what
tomorrow morning will bring. My eating has been a bit out of balance this past
week. The first time since joining Weight Watchers that I have gone into negative double digits
with my weeklies. Blue dots? I managed to get 4, which in reality is a good
thing. So, maybe the scale will give me a good read out tomorrow after all?
On some level I feel like I was self-sabotaging this
week. Seriously y’all, as of last Tuesday I was exactly 1.3 pounds away from
ONEderland and only 2.2 pounds away from the goal I set for this four week
block (199). In reality it’s an easy win as 5 out of my last 7 weigh-ins have
registered a 2-4 pound loss. Again, I’m eight weeks in and honestly I think I’m
just getting comfortable. What I need to do is hit this program head on like I
did the first week I joined. I need to mix things up, plan some new meals and most
importantly… GET MOVING! When it comes to exercise, I am the Queen of
Procrastination LOL
Of course, I have proved that you can lose weight just by
changing what you eat. Not that I am discounting exercise as I know it is
essential for overall good health. But I’m completely amazed that I’ve lost
over 17 pounds just by making better food choices AND eating proper portions
and not binging. So yes, I very well could step on that scale tomorrow and hit
my mini goal, but in all honesty I have no idea which way it is going to go.
The old me would have likely hopped on the scale this
morning for a sneak peek to see how close or far off I was. Thankfully, I have
learned that while I do need the number to drop, it cannot be my focus. And
though I may sound a little worried or concerned about what tomorrow holds, I’m
actually not that stressed out about it. I’m ready to accept whatever it is and
learn from it. Bottom line, if it doesn’t pan out the way I hoped, then I
have no one to blame but myself. BUT I’m not going to beat myself up over it! Seriously folks, over the last 56 days I have steadily lost weight, which for
me is HUGE!!! The last thing I am going to do is let a few bad days over the
course of one week throw me off kilter.
If it happens that I don’t make my goal tomorrow, then I
am just going to hunker down in week nine, surrender it all to God, commit to at
least six blue dots, strive to exercise 3-4 days and show that scale who’s
boss. YES!!
Five years... that’s how long it has been since I have seen
a number under 200 on the scale. It feels so good to finally be serious about
taking my life back, to getting myself healthy once and for all; so close to he place they call ONEderland. That said, here’s to
a good nights sleep and to waking up with the same hope and positive attitude I
have right now. Everything is going to work out just as it should. I’m thankful
for every step of this journey, thankful for all that I have learned so far,
thankful to God for filling me with His strength when mine was tapped out. That’s
all for now folks, catch you on the flip side!
I would love to hear from you! Feel free to post words of encouragement or share your own story in the comments.
Blessings in Christ,
