Weigh-In update!

Ok, so as most of you know I did not go weigh in last week. I left work early because I wasn't feeling that well, and once I got home there was no getting out.

Well, for the last few weeks I just really haven't felt like Ive been doing that good. I guess if I'm being honest, I do subconsciously think about what I'm eating a lot more than I normally would. But I just felt like I wasn't really sticking to it. I could blame it on the holidays and the busy schedule, which definitely doesn't help, but really its just me being lazy.

So needless to say, I was not very excited to weigh in tonight. In fact, I thought about skipping about 136 times. But as much as Ive been "fallin' off the wagon" lately, I really have come to a decision to change my lifestyle once and for all despite what happens. So I knew that if I missed this week, I wouldn't go back...especially since I missed last week too. I knew that if I at least went, and even if I gained weight, it would be better than not going at all. Because I knew that it would still be better than not going at all.

Well first of all, I was totally in a panic because I lost my "weigh-in" shoes in Orlando this weekend, which happened to be my favorite flats. So on top of already being paranoid about gaining, now I have to worry about what shoes to wear and if they'll weigh me even more than the last pair. So after I get that under way, I headed to the meeting...totally prepared for the worst.

I get on the scale and I'm just talking away to my leader about how disappointed I am in myself...blah blah blah...and she goes " Well, look at you...you had quite a loss this week."

me: "WHAT???"

leader: "Yes, you lost 4.2 lbs this week."

me: (in a very low whisper) "You might want to check that again...there is absolutely no way."

leader: "Yes there is a way...I'm looking at the number right now."

Sure enough, I lost 4.2 lbs over the past 2 weeks! I wish I could tell you all the wonderful tricks and words of encouragement about how I did it, but I have NO idea! Honestly! Like I said, I'm sure I think about what is going into my mouth more than I normally would have, but that's about it. There was absolutely no exercise...no counting points...nada! I almost hate to even talk about it because I feel like I don't deserve it. I definitely didn't put forth the effort that I should have...that's for sure. But either way, I'll take it!

My grand total for the past 6 weeks is 16.8 lbs! I'm pretty stoked about that! I'm almost to 20 lbs!! And lets just say, its been about 3 years since Ive lost that amount of weight...other than when I was pregnant, but that doesn't count.

I'm hoping to get off that other 3.5 lbs this week and lose 20 by Christmas...we'll see!
