Sunday weigh-in

This is the beginning of what will (hopefully) be a weekly post concerning my weight loss journey. I am a Weight Watchers member and go every Sunday to a meeting. This is really my third time around with the whole Weight Watchers thing.....in the past year. But as everyone with weight issues knows, it's a one day at a time kind of thing. Luckily, I think this time it has stuck with me. A lot of that has to do with my amazing meeting leader. She is so fantastic! I use her as a motivation for myself because I don't want to let her down when I see her every week!

All of that being said, it had actually been two weeks since my last meeting. The holidays and a hectic work schedule had gotten in the way and to be honest, I was not looking forward to weighing in. I had been through Christmas, New Years, and a whole lot of chocolate. But I had also been semi-conscious about my portions and managed to get a few workouts in over the holidays. My leader told me she was looking forward to giving me good news before I got on the scale to which I responded, "I doubt it." She then told me that what mattered was that I was there, which is completely true. But then, to my pleasant surprise, she told me I was lighter! So I guess things really have stuck with me this time around.

Every week I'm going to include some stats in my post to make things a little easier on all of us. So here's this week's stats:

Weight change: -0.6

Overall change: -11.6

How I'm feeling: Still a little sluggish from the holidays, but ready to really get back on track and back in the gym!

What I learned this week: More than anything, I think I realized that I need to be okay with the fact that this is not going to be a quick fix. It truly is a lifestyle change and something that I will have to continue working on for the rest of my life. I'm learning how to be okay with a little  bit at a time. It's not easy, but I'm getting there!

Here was my Sunday night cup of joy! All non-fat, of course....but who can really taste the difference? ;)

Here's to a great week ahead!
