Weigh In Wednesday

Sweet Success! I worked really hard this week and I am happy to report that all that hard work paid off.

I lost 4 pounds!

I know that sounds kinda crazy and a lot for one week and I know that it is not good to lose that much in a week, but I am excited anyway. I was hoping for a big number, I know that when I did WW in the past the first couple of weeks I had large losses and then it leveled off. So this is not unusual at all for me. So I have now lost a total of 6 pounds. My first mini goal. I decided to look at my goals as 5 pounds at a time instead of one big number at the end, it keeps it easier and more manageable to think, hey I only have 5 pounds to lose rather than 40!
So all the working out and counting points has really paid off, and even better I feel good. I feel stronger everyday. Things I was doing last week are just a little easier to do this week, like mowing the lawn. G has his heart set on getting the new riding mower next week and to be honest I am a little sad to be getting one. I kind of enjoy mowing the lawn, it makes me feel like I accomplished something when I am done and I like that it is a little hidden exercise for the day. I have to do it so I don't count it as part of my exercise.
So I am super excited to be starting another week. I am motivated and pleased with the results so far, although I don't expect another week like this one. I have even been giving myself little added daily tasks, like 30 crunches and 15 push-ups a day. This week I am adding 10 crunches and 5 push-ups to that. I am trying to get a little mini daily routine that I can take on vacation with me, so that I have something to stick to to make sure that I don't fall off course.
See how all the other sisters did this week! And keep up the good work everyone!
