Overall great day yesterday. Stayed within points for the day and even got some time in at the gym. Hubby had a basketball game at the gym so while he was playing, I rode the bike for about twenty minutes. Unfortunately that was all there was time for. Talked to the front desk and they close at 8:30 every night which makes me sad because I simply don't have time in the evenings to get there before 7:45 or 8. Although doing a small 30 minute workout would be better than nothing, I feel like I am just getting started when I hit 20 minutes. I did find out, however, that because it is a military gym and I am a dependent that they offer free personal training to anyone who had a military ID! So for those of you that have one and have access to gym facilities on any base, you should definitely look into it! Beats the heck out of paying for it at a public gym! As odd as it may sound, I would totally go to spend the short amount of time in the gym with a personal trainer because I would be getting so much more out of it. Unfortunately they are completely booked right now, but I won't be ready to start that until around mid-March or early April anyway. The guy said that by then, they should definitely have some space available. I should be able to get most if not all of my good health guidelines in today and will hopefully get a walk or bike ride in this evening. So far my goal of using less of my weekly points is going great! Hopefully today will be as successful as yesterday! :)

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.

Normally I don't journal this much but I feel so great right now! Choked down some really gross tasting pears earlier and followed them up with a super tasty lunch from McAlister's Deli. 1/2 french dip and 1/2 bacon spud was only 12 points. Seems like a lot for 1/2 a sandwich with a potato but it was sooooo good and sooo filling! Partially due to eating the pears beforehand I am sure, but I am so happy right now. My morning started off horrible and this felt like comfort food. So sad that I am still giving in to the temptation to make myself feel better with food, but at least I am able to do it with some-what "good for you" foods! Also happy to report that I should be able to get the rest of my good health guidelines in today. Just need to go to the store and plan dinner after my meeting and walk with my friend that joined with me last week. Go me! :)

First week down...working on the second starting today. Haven't weighed in yet...meeting is at 7 tonight, but I am looking forward to it. Subway has been my friend this week. It has kept me from going to the awesomely delicious Chick Fil A. Not that I can't have that, but I love the Chick Fil A sauce and it is 4 pts a packet. Yikes! I used a lot more of my weekly points than I wanted to, only had two to spare, but I did get six points worth of activity in so that kind of helps. Overall last week was rather easy to cope with and does not feel like as much of a burden as I remember it being before. Probably because of feeling like I have bookoo points compared to when I lost almost 40 pounds before, but I think I am more prepared to adjust this time. On a bittersweet note, my hubby will be leaving for three months in April and right now he is on such a wacky schedule that I don't have to worry about us co-mingling meals. Sadly it makes it so much easier. While he is gone though, I think I am going to experiment with different recipes and try to get used to actually making the meals at home. I feel so successful this week because even with eating out as much as we did I still got most of my guidelines in and stayed within points. So here's to looking forward to the first weigh in and a good 2nd week! Happy tracking! :)
