-0.
I was slightly frustrated by this number this week.
I worked my ass off this week. I went to water aerobics twice on Monday, walked on Tuesday, water aerobics on Wednesday, worked out at the rec on Thursday, and water aerobics again on Friday.
I made sure to get at least 20 minutes of exercise everyday this week, and I didn't cheat at my dieting once. I had one piece of organic cake on Monday in Dr. Morgan's class. It was probably half a serving, nothing huge. And I still got nothing.
I honestly have no idea if it's muscle building, but that's what I'm going to go with. Because I was definitely burning calories with all the working out I was doing.
I know I did well this week, but the scale doesn't reflect it. Its not a big deal though. Better luck next week.
Current weight: 174.2 lbs
Weight to lose until 155: 19.2 lbs

GOAL!
-2 pounds! Woot!
I had to make up for last week's gain, plus a little more. :)
I was super good this week, minus having dinner at a professor's house. But I figure you can have one "whatever" meal a week and generally still be okay. And I portioned everything...even though it was all terrible foods. Well, it was great food, but not exactly friendly to someone trying to lose weight.
I'm finally overweight and not obese! yay! Now to move onto my next big goal. That will be 155, since I need a middle point between now and my ultimate goal. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I wont be in the 150's when we go to Kauai like I had originally planned, but that's okay. I don't need to be a certain weight to have a good time there, and believe me, I'm more comfortable with my body now then I've EVER been. (I let Justin take a picture of me naked....a full body picture! My fat self would've hunted that camera down and deleted that picture, even if I had to break the damn camera...lol.)
I'm still working on the cognitive part of all of this. Like I said above, I'm WAY more comfortable in my body than I've ever been. But I still have moments, sometimes days, where I look fat in everything, my clothes don't hang right (I guess every girl has those days though...haha,) or that all the girls in my block are skinnier than me, prettier than me. I'm working on loving myself, fat and all. Its going to take forever, but its another goal of mine that will be a forever goal.
Current weight: 174.2 lbs
Weight to lose in order to be 'overweight' and not 'obese': ZERO!!
Weight to lose until 155: 19.2 lbs
Current total weight loss: 49.8 lbs.

I'm disappointed in myself, not the scale.
+0.9 lbs.
I'm pretty disappointed in myself when I got on the scale this morning. I can make up one hundred excuses about how stressed and busy I've been the past week and a half and how I haven't even had time to make dinner for Justin and I. But my weight gain is still my fault because of the choices I made. Stressed or not, I hate that I still turn to food as a comfort when I'm depressed or freaking out. I need to stop that.
I also get defensive and whiny about how its not fair that one week of not sticking to my diet can cause me to gain nearly a pound. It just reminds me that I'll never be able to just eat whatever, and I have to count points for the rest of my life. It sucks, but its a reality I have to come to terms with, or I'll gain all the weight back that I've lost, plus some more...just like all the other times.
I'm strong, I can do this.
Next week will be better.
Current weight: 176.2 lbs
Weight to lose in order to be 'overweight' and not 'obese': 1.3 lbs

Its seems the magic number is 1.1 :)
-1.1 pounds!
So right now, that puts me at 175.3 lbs. When the wii fit went to tell me my weight, it already dropped down into the overweight category. (Its hilarious, even the music is nicer when you're there, lol.) But according to every BMI website out there, until I drop down to 174, I'm still technically obese. So next week, I will for real be overweight! (That sounds so crazy...I'll be overweight! yay! lol.)
Though I haven't technically fulfilled my obese/overweight goal, I'm going to set my next goal so next week I can start it. I was just going to put my end goal as my next goal, but I feel like that's a huge goal in itself, so I need a smaller one before that ultimate one of 135 pounds. 155 feels about right. I know there's a lot of numbers in here, but the numbers give me something tangible to hang onto.
I stumbled upon the pictures I took with my staff the night I got engaged. And all I can say is ouch. I definitely don't want to get into that self-loathing thing that some people get into when they look at old pictures of themselves, but I honestly had no idea how big I was. I don't think most people do, but its always eye opening to see old pictures and literally have your breath taken away.
ALL the numbers:
Current total weight loss: 48.7 lbs.
Current weight: 175.3 lbs
Weight to lose in order to be 'overweight' and not 'obese': 0.4 lbs
Weight to lose until 155: 20.3 lbs
Weight to lose until my ultimate goal of 135: 40.3 lbs
