SharonsJetSet's Journal, 22 February 2011

I'm feeling way more positive today than I was yesterday. Even though I know we should not weigh ourselves daily, I do it! The scale is starting to move again. I find that if I don't weigh myself, I fantasize that the extra calories I'm consuming aren't affecting my weightloss. HA!! Hilarious right? I've been recording my treadmill jaunts in a Facebook application called I Just ran or something like that. So for the month of February I've already gone 32 miles on the treadmill. I'm wicked pleased with this because I really didn't start becoming a slave to my treadmill until about 10 days ago. It'd be really cool if the app for the iPhone would sync with the Facebook app. I read the reviews and it doesn't

So back to my weightloss journey. I tried on the pantsuit I wanted to wear to the Awards Banquet. Right now I can put the pants on, zip and button them but its tight and unattractive for a 51yo lady. I'm going to push myself on the treadmill and riding my horse. I still have 11 days to get more weight off before the banquet. I believe I can do this. I've asked a few friends if they think I can lose 10-15lbs in 2 weeks and of course no one thinks I can. I'm more concerned about losing the sizes. I'm currently a very loose 16 and a semi-tight 14. I need to be a 12. I CAN DO THIS!!

I'm 5'8" so I hide my pounds well because there's no part of my body that holds the weight more than other parts. This week I'm shooting for a 3lb loss. I wont be disappointed if I don't hit 3lbs because from watching the biggest loser, I see that the 2nd week is not as big as the first.

Ok I need to get to work. Love journaling my thoughts and although I've always had the access to journal my thoughts and feelings during a diet, this is the first time I've actually done it. IT HELPS!!

oh yeah, I have a new buddy - Babs. She's my age and we both have around the same amount of weight to lose. Its wonderful finding online friends to help with this journey
