Weekly Weigh In- 12/23/12

Well, I'm a few days late with my weigh in report, but things have been busy with the holiday. Last week went really well for me. I found this quote really applied to my week:

"Keep in mind that action creates momentum, and that sometimes even very small actions can be effective in getting your energy moving in a positive direction again."

- Elizabeth Josefsberg

After gaining 1.6lbs the week prior, I was discouraged. I found myself questioning whether or not I could keep moving forward, but that was short lived. I had my pity party, where I did allow myself to have a burger and fries (I know, I know). Then I re-evaluated what I've been doing the past week and what change I should make. Honestly looking back I saw that I was lacking the most in the exercise department. So I committed to doing at least 20 minutes on the elliptical all last week. I did very well with this. I either listened to music or watched part of a show on my kindle.

The hard work paid off on the scale!

Stats:

This weeks loss: -5.2 lbs

Total loss: 25 lbs

Yes! I finally made it to 25 lbs.

I feel like something finally clicked. I am motivated to do better. To work harder and to reach the results I want. I know I had a big loss this week and that it won't be like that again, but I would love to be able to lose the 1-2lbs a week. I have so much to lose that I really need to be losing more steadily than I have in the past. I hope the changes I'm making help with that progress and I see the scale go only down more!

How did your week go?
