Weight Loss Tracker

Here is my 'Weight Loss Tracker'. It is kind of fun to see the progress. I am currently on week 2 (the first week I am not counting because it was just a couple of days). The 'goal' line is not my actual goal. It is 10% of my total weight goal. I have decided to break it up into different milestones. That is my first major milestone. I started at 214 (from Hawaii), and am down to 206.4. The weight loss is slower and steadier, but I am ok with it. It really seems sustainable. I have different goals with my trainer. She says I should be able to lose 10lbs a month, and she said that I should lose 8-10 inches in my mid-section in the first month. We started this a week ago, Saturday (when she measured me). I am having a good time keeping track of everything. It doesn't seem so daunting anymore. I even look forward to my butt-kicking with Lilly (then when I go, I am hating life).

Butt Whoopin'

I have been doing Weight Watchers for a week and a half, and so far I really love it. I have heard people talk about 'points', and thought that it wouldn't work. But it makes alot of sense. It is easier to count 'points' than it is to count calories. I am not going to meetings, but doing the online version. My biggest roadblock is eating one thing I shouldn't, and then feeling like I screwed up my whole diet, so I may as well just eat what I want. That is my slippery slope. But with Weight Watchers, I am able to eat what I want without cheating. Nothing is really off the menu. It just takes more of my points. I have an extra 'weekly' points that I can use for a treat day, that I usually try to stay away from, but I know that it is there. It is alot easier to not eat that doughnut, when I know that I can. It makes little sense, but it works for me.

I am also going to the gym and working out with a trainer. She is kicking my ass! I am going 3 days a week, and after I am done, I can hardly walk. I don't really like it much. But hopefully it will whip my butt into shape. It is hard excersizing when I feel so fat. But I guess it is the only way to not be as fat.
