Weigh In Day

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Chinese proverb)

Forty pounds is a long journey, so while I keep one eye on the final destination, the other eye needs be looking at something a little bit closer and celebrate those single steps.  Celebrations can be for anything - they all add up.  For instance, this morning I woke up on this rainy Saturday morning and weighed in at my local Weight Watchers and then attended boot camp at Bella Fitness. YAY ME!!!

I said in my last post that I will be as honest as possible on this blog.  So, every Saturday morning I'll update you all on my weight-loss (hopefully!).  But, we have to start somewhere.  You need to know how much I weigh.  I've thought about just putting the weight loss amount on here, but then I thought...I need to be more honest with myself.

So, today I weighed in at 197.4.  That is the starting weight.  So, by April 16, 2015 I'd like to be 157.4 lbs.
Phew...that wasn't so hard.  Now you all know!! My final goal weight is 150 lbs.

Ok, so I've mentioned two tools that are helping me on my journey, weight watchers and boot camp.  I have a couple other tools that will be helping me too.  I will be using My Fitness Pal app on my phone, but there is also a website you can use.  You can request me as a friend (look for dpeltier75) and you can see my food diary and share yours with me.  It's very easy to use.  I actually like it better than my weight watchers app.

I have also started using RunKeeper app on my phone as well.  I use the free version.  You can also request me as a friend on there and we can share our work outs.  It's pretty user friendly.  You can purchase an upgrade and it does more stuff, but I'm happy with the free stuff!

I can no celebrate something else.  I put my weight on the internet!  Now to keep working.  I know what I have to do: Eat Clean and work out.  That's easier said than done!
