Bodybugg Journey–Week 11

I woke up this morning all depressed ready to write my “Can I have a do-over?” entry because these past two weeks have not been good at all. I haven’t been getting in any exercise, nor have I been logging my food. I’ve been somewhat cautious and aware of what and how much I’m consuming, but for me, that’s not good enough. Last week at my weigh-in, I was only down .5 lbs. I know, I know, a loss is a loss and I’m happy that there was one! Another week went by and today I was not looking forward to stepping on that scale. I knew it was going to be bad. I rolled my eyes and then shut them tightly as I stepped on. When I had enough courage to open one eye and look down, I was PLEASANTLY surprised! 2.1 lbs! What the????? How did that even happen?? I don’t know, and quite honestly, I don’t care! I bought my gym membership a few days ago and today I went and got it activated. It felt so good to really sweat. I’ve missed that. I’m a girl who’s not afraid to sweat and get dirty.

As of today, I’m down a total of 22.3 lbs, 5 lbs away from my pre-marriage weight, 13 lbs away from my goal weight, and 23-28 lbs away from my ULTAMATE goal weight. (I set a goal to lose 35 lbs, but I’d really like to lose another 10-15 after that)

I guess the lesson learned these past two weeks (and I thank the bodybugg for this) is that even when not logging food or getting much activity in, I’m still not shoving my face full of M&M’s (even though I still want to) and ice cream. I’ve learned to be in control.

Here’s to another week! This week will be the first week that I’ve had the help of the gym. I’m anxious to see if the scale will be my friend or foe. . .?
