Dazzle Who?

My goal for today was to weigh in at 225 lbs or less. I have been doing this whole diet thing now for a full 7 weeks…

5/4 weigh in – 223.8lbs. TWL -17.0 lbs

I met my goal plus a little! Plus I had a very off weekend as far as dietary consumption went. I had Talai’s b-day party and game night on Saturday so I am very lucky I didn’t binge like I would have before.

On Saturday, in between the birthday party and game night, I swung by Old Navy to return some pants. I decided to try and find some stuff on sale (because all my clothes are too big). I bought my first pair of 16’s – 2 pairs actually. I have not bought 16’s in probably about 4 or 5 years. This made me very happy. Probably the highlight of my week. I tried on some tops and fit into XL rather than the XXL. The diet seems so much easier when you can actually see the payoff of it.

I am starting week 8 today. Getting to the gym might be more of a challenge for me b/c I work until 6/6:30 almost every day. I will bring my clothes and see how tired I am after work.I am going to begin my alternating days of weight training. I am losing the pounds with the cardio but I need to start with the strength training. I don’t want to be jiggly. LOL.

My next goal…

For my 6/1 weigh in which will be week 12 (and the last week of school – woot!) my goal weight is 215lbs. I have a family vacation in about 6 weeks and I need to look my best for the beach!
