Another week with weight loss. I must admit that after struggling through February, it feels nice to have lost almost six pounds in March. Since February netted 0.4 pound gain, this puts me on a pretty average weight loss across the two months. Which has consistently been my goal: slow and steady. I am not in a huge rush. I would like to lose the weight slowly and in a sustainable way because the last thing I want is to gain it all back. Ever.
Exercise this month has been hard. Each day I find myself dreading it and each day I barely finish without struggling. I am a bit scared of the fact that as of this morning, I have to increase to 2.9 when I’ve barely been able to keep up with the 2.8. Up until now, by the end of each month, I felt like that month’s distance was doable. Whereas 2.8 has been kicking my behind.
Here’s the screen I see each week when I weigh myself on the Wii. After it measures, the first thing I see is the new BMI and if it’s lower than last week then I know I lost weight. I anxiously wait for that number each week. And pretty much exclaim with joy when it’s lower.
and here’s this week’s card:

I know you aren’t fishing for compliments because that’s not your personality- but too bad you are going to get some anyway 😉
You look amazing. You are so strong to keep going and going and going and I am so proud of you. I have got to lose this baby weight quicker than I did last time…I know this time around it doesn’t just “fall off” of me and so I need to get out and start moving and you are inspiring me to get movin! I have a lot to lose and the longer I wait, the longer it’s going to take. I’ve been using an app to track my calories and walking/running but not often enough. SO hard to get going and not make excuses!
I want to see some pics of your skinny self and in your new clothes!
