Weekly Weigh In- 1/27/13

Overall, I actually did not exercise as much as I should have this past week. I had been getting some extra walking in during my lunch breaks, but work has been busy and it has been freezing, literally, so walking didn't really happen. I tried to compensate for the lesser activity by really tracking and sticking to program eating wise. I wasn't eating out as much and packed a lunch everyday and that really helps!

My stats for the week:

This week's loss = - 3.4 lbs

Total loss = - 34.4 lbs

I was so happy to see a bigger loss this week after last week! feeling so close to 35 is awesome! The personal satisfaction I feel after losing is such a huge motivation boost. I've seen the quote "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" a lot lately and honestly I can't relate. I've never been skinny so I can only imagine how awesome that feels, but I can say that nothing tastes as good as seeing a loss on the scale. Repeating "it's not worth it" when I'm tempted by foods really helps. And when I have that high after seeing a good loss and have the great feeling of accomplishment I am happy with those choices because the bad food really isn't worth it.

January in Review: Overall it was a good month for me! I lost a total of 7.2 lbs for an average weekly loss of 1.8 lbs. I was only short .8 lb for my personally monthly goal of January. I'll take it!

In February I'm looking forward to seeing how working with a trainer will help with my weight loss. I also need to still work on trying some new recipes and work on planning out my dinners for the week in advance.

I'm also participating in a diet bet for February. If you want some added motivation you can still join the diet bet I'm co-hosting. You can find more info on how it all works here and if you want to participate just email me at ktjweighingin(at)gmail(dot)com for an invite!
