I have a small confession to make. I hopped on the scale today. I wasn't going to, in fact I wanted to wait until Friday but I couldn't help myself. What I saw was nothing short of amazing. If I maintain this weight of today through Friday, I will reach my 2 month goal with a week left! This weigh in could put me at the first 10 lb mark (from when I originally started, not with WW) which is only 3 lbs away from my first WW goal of losing 5% of my body weight. Remember back when I started this I was complaining about rewarding myself for too little? This 5% is my first real goal that I plan to reward myself with - one big old meal either home cooked or out at a restaurant, with no real regards for points. I will eat well and small the rest of the day I'm sure and at this rate I probably won't come close to finishing whatever extravagant meal that is, but believe you me, it WILL be accompanied by wine. :)
It's just so cool to see it so close. My sister down south reached one of her goals today. I am so super proud of her and so happy for her. This is hard! It's so hard! But everyday the planning, the portioning and the smarter decisions get easier. I get a little excited to go to the gym, and now I just got an Empire Pass that gives me "free" access to state parks all around NYS. I want to go to the beach. All the time. Once a week. Maybe I'll start a weekly beach club and invite people to come with me. I have so much more free time this summer, it's amazing. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are out, unless I get up really early (HA! yeah right...) and make a morning out of it, but the rest of the week if the weather's nice, bring it on. I will go hiking, (walking) I will lay on a beach, and I will camp. These are my goals for the summer.
Ok these are the secondary goals to continuing to succeed on WW and practice more and research DMA programs. Still, I like these goals too.
Of course, the forecast here is all rain and storms the rest of the week but that's ok, it will help me catch up on the 25 hours of tv I have left from this past year. Well, I think I'm caught up through March.
So next week I'm going to the beach. Who's coming with me?
awesome bridge!!!! perfect ideas as well! i was going to suggest that actually. usually when we meet friends, it is to go out for a drink or to eat, but one can chat just as easily and keep fit by taking a long walk, going to the park, hangin out at the beach, going for a swim, throwing a ball around, going for a bike ride, etc. you know, the things that we used to spend all summer doing when we were younger (and skinnier!)
