on track

Weigh in #2 (sorry I missed updating on Wednesday, but I did weigh in) - here it is!

Wed. Feb. 29th, 2012
Current weight: 216
LOSS this week: 2.0 pounds
Total loss since on this journey: 44 pounds (in Jan. 2011 I weighed 258 - this was my heaviest weight - SCARY!!!! )
Total weight loss during 10 week goal timeline: 2 pounds - (18 to go!) 
General thoughts/ feeling: had a good week .. worked hard and came out with a 2 pound loss ... going to be tough to stay this strict ... going to do what I have to do though. My fitness pal has been fantastic for my food tracking. I love having such supportive friends to be there on this journey.

To think I'm 6 pounds away from hitting 50 pounds lost is quite exciting. It seems like such a huge number to me ...I couldn't have done it without the support of my family and friends and trainer of course.

The more I think about it .. the more I think I'm crazy for sharing with the world wide web my weight ... when I think about it I cringe .. however I feel like this blog needs to be an authetic experience .. how can I help and motivate others if there is nothing measureable showing my ups (and downs). 

To prepare for the week I've made some great soups. I went to spinning - which was fantastic!!! I loved every minute of it .. but damn was I sore. I'm so proud of Laura and Michele who joined me. We gave it our all and it was so wonderful to have such supportive friends around me.

Here's to another great week - have our house warming party on Saturday which will pose some challenges calorie wise (e.g., drinking + delicious food). Staying focused with my goal in mind!!!!
