One of my very first blog posts was about weight loss, and how I was going to get up off my ass, and join the gym. Well, for once I am proud to say that I actually did something I said I was going to do. I'm notorious for making a big deal of something, and then letting something insignificant become a perfect excuse for why I don't do it. I'm great at excuses.
As of July 20, 2011, I had lost 15.6 lbs on weight watchers. Eight weeks later, that number is an even 19. I had a few of gains in the middle, where I fell of the plan, but I proceeded to pick myself up, and then I had a 3 lb loss. That was everything I gained, and then some. But that's all part of the plan. Weight watchers is a lifestyle, not a diet, and there will be ups and downs. And I won't let the downs prevent me from moving forward.
I'm still bad about the gym. I'll be good for a few days, and then I'll fall off. Usually the good days are the beginning of the week, and I slack on my days off and the weekends.
I need to change this. I started meeting with the trainer once a week to teach me what I need to know about strength training. I don't want to hurt myself by doing something stupid. And I like working with him. It's adding something to my cardio, and I'm almost at the point where I think I could start doing stuff on my own. Maybe...
But I need to get up and go. That's my biggest problem. I know that I can't get where I want to be if I don't. I want to be fit, and I want to be healthy. And going to the gym regularly will help me do that. I'm still not happy with my body. I'm down several sizes, and at the size that I want to stay at. So now I need to focus on toning and strength training. I can do this.
