Yeah! This is the first time since I started my journey that I've lost any substantial weight and I'm really happy!
Now that I'm averaging my weekly weight, I've decided to post my weekly updates on Sunday (Sundays are day #7). Here's how I averaged my weight for the week:
I'm not sure how to handle my weight goals, though. At this point in my journey, I needed to be closer to 187 lbs in order to be on track for my 29 lbs weight loss by my 30th birthday. I'll need to think about if I can get back on track and eventually catch up, or if I need to readjust the goals to be a little more realistic.
For now, I'm going to stick with the established goals and see if I can lose any additional weight per week and catch up.
And see, now that I've lost some good weight, I'm starting to get motivated to work out. Nothing too much (remember, slow and steady!) but maybe a workout DVD 1-2 times/ week. I'm scared to gain muscle, though, because muscle weighs more than fat. But muscle also burns more calories.
I'm glad my efforts this week paid off. I need to spend some time today planning for the week.
Hope everyone has a great week!
