Well I've been regularly exercising for the last two weeks, at least 5 times a week. My 195 weigh in, I think, was just a little extra water weight lost that came back when I chugged water that day. I don't think I've put on fat, I've been watching my diet closely and have been working out a lot, so I'm not going to be discouraged by the seemingly 2 pound gain. My goal for next friday is 196.
I've also decided to using november as a major goal time. I HATE HATE HATE HATE pictures and video of myself with an ABSOLUTE passion. I feel so fat in them, I have a full soft face and with the extra weight on, I feel huge and incredibley self concious whenever the camera comes out. I find myself dreading the picture review after they've all been taken. Ryan wants to do the whole family picture Christmas card thing, and I would love to do a gift idea like that. SO. My goal is to be 150 by November (or damn close to it) so that I can take pictures like a champ and feel beautiful in them, and feel confident in sending them out to all the family. It'll be fun knowing everyone will be privately remarking on how much thinner I've gotten when they see the new photos (at least thats what I tell myself to give myself some of that good ole' motivation).
k8yk, you're a big motivation, your progress got me out of my "I have too much weight to lose, I'll never stick with it long enough to see progress" way of thinking, now I'm just taking it a pound at a time. Every pound is a victory.
My next weigh in will be next Friday, where I hope to be a solid 196.
