Oh what a feeling! I love that I lost weight last week. I mean, I knew it would happen, but man what a shocker that it was four pounds. I am on cloud nine right now. And the best part...my grandmother and a co-worker are both keeping track of how Kara (the girl that joined with me last week) and I are doing week by week. Such a motivator. Amy met me back in mid-October when I started this job, so I feel more determined to prove that I can do this. It is weird how having someone you just met keep up with your progress can really make a difference in the determination one feels. I guess it's almost like I don't want to show that I am a failure. I have made the mistake of giving up before and I don't want to do it this time. I know there will be good weeks and bad weeks...that is inevitible...what will be different this time is that I know truly how long it will take. At minimum, I am looking at mid-June to early July of 2011 before I will reach my goal weight. I am in for a very long journey to my goal. If I lose two pounds next week and then follow that with an average of a pound a week until I hit 165, I will be at my goal by my weigh in on June 29, 2011. I am not making that a set date that I have to hit my goal by then "or else", but it is nice to have it realistically set. Not like I have done before where I have to lose two pounds a week. Some weeks that may happen, others I will plateau and lose little to nothing, but all in all I need to take it a week at a time and not let the speed bumps called bad weeks slow me down.
