Stats - Week Two
Starting Weight: 155.4
Weight Today: 147.8
Total Lost: 7.6 lbs
Goal Weight: 140 by May 3rd, 2008 (7.4 lbs left) Passed the halfway mark to my goal! Yay!
Days Left Until Goal Date: 19
Feelings: Relieved. I had this weird feeling the numbers were going to go up again today (they did yesterday) but thankfully they fell and finally broke the 148. It feels really really good to be 147. I mean, to get down to 149ish where I was, that's one thing... But to be markedly going downwards into numbers I haven't seen in a really long time... It feels fabulous. And I mean, almost 8 lbs in two weeks is not exactly shabby.
Weekly Reflection: Again, I think I could have done better given if I had exercised a bit more. But there were no improvements I could have made to the eating -- that I am quite proud of. I have been on (and still am on) a high stress roller coaster between the various areas of my life, and lack of sleep. I think my saving grace has been how I am eating, and the fact that I haven't caved to the cravings of a giant chocolate cake, ben and jerrys ice cream, chips OR chinese food. These are things to be proud of.
Given also that I have had to deal with horrible stomach aches, my period (and all the wonderful things that come with it, like cramps), back aches and more.. I don't quite know how I'm standing at this point, let alone exercising. I mean, sure I was hoping I was at the 10 lb mark, but I WILL get there... I just need another week. Haha. If I can consistently lose 2 and a half lbs per week from now until then I'll meet my goal!! And at this point, I think I can do at LEAST 2 and a half, if not more.
I will be SO glad when school (at least the academic part) is over. I will get to focus my energy into placement and working out -- hawttt!!
