Second weigh in

Friday comes pretty quickly when I'm not quite ready for it!...

Second weigh in results are: 171.3, I'm down 3.3 pounds total. I've got a long ways to go, but I will get there don't you worry!

I have hit the gym 3 times this week, and hopefully again tonight. I have a lot to do in the next few days with my final for Psychology coming up, but I will not falter :) I also need to start taking advantage of the elliptical machine in my own house. Why I don't know is beyond me!

Also, my CRAZY friend Sharla as convinced me that I can do a 111 mile bike race. We're not really racing, just pacing to make it through! It is a good goal for me and her, but I'm really not sure it can be accomplished. I honestly would be happy to make it halfway through. So here's hoping, and training started 2 days ago...gonna go 15 miles on the bike tonight!!

First weigh-in

So being Friday, it is my first official weigh in thus far. I am using the same scale, and weighing myself at the same time every week so hopefully it stays consistent.

This weeks weight is 172.4. So that is a loss of 2.2 pounds =) YAY! Happy dance ...

I'll be weighing in next Friday, hopefully with some inches lost as well.

Here goes nothing...

So as it began to loom around my 25th birthday, I began to realize just how much weight I have put on in the last few years. With birthday come and gone, I knew I needed to do something about it. And this is it. I am starting this blog with all hopes that having some accountability will help push me in the right direction. I am not trying to do this for anyone but myself and I know it needs to be done. Not only for myself, but for my future children!

I always knew I could get in shape and get in control, but I had not seen it or felt it. Does that make any sense? What I mean is that I had not envisioned it until now. Losing weight was always this distant, unachievable goal and as soon as I start to stop seeing any progress I quit.

I'm not quite sure what I'll be tracking on here, but I know every week I will weigh myself at the same time and post my weight here. I am also going to probably track my inches lost/gained. I will probably need all the support I can get to keep me going, especially on those weeks with no loss! My goal is to drop about 40-45 pounds. No, it isn't much in comparison to some. But for me, this is the heaviest I will EVER be in my life...There will be no more gaining!

So check back Friday for my first weigh-in!
