The First Weigh-In!

Today was my first weigh-in. I've avoided posting stats before now because I weighed more a week ago than I did at nine months pregnant with any of my four kiddos! That's a tough pill to swallow.

Starting weight: 336.0 lb.
Goal weight: 150 lb.

I decided last night that whatever the scale said this morning I was more than happy with my progress this week. I stuck to my points allowance and I managed to walk 13 miles since Monday. Some of those miles were physically tough and mentally excruciating, but I did them anyway. Did my hard work and perseverance pay off?

Week 1: 328.0 lb. (-8 lb.)

Yay!!! It sure did! I know I have a long way to go, but everyday is a step in the right direction. When I hit the 50 lb. mark, we already have a special little day trip planned. I can't wait for that! I'm still trying to decide what special thing we'll do when I hit the 100 lb. mark, but I've got some time to think about that one.

Today, I'm not treating myself in any special way. I'm going to continue to eat right, take this one day off from exercise, and get right back to it tomorrow. My kids need this. My family needs this. And I need this.
