Today was my first official Wednesday Weigh-In of 2012. I weigh and write it down everyday. Yes, I know they say that you should only weigh once a week, but it helps keep me in check to weigh. I don't get discouraged or encouraged, just like to see where I am. However, Wednesday is my official day - the one that counts. So, this morning, I bravely stepped up on the scale. It was what I thought it would be. I'm looking forward to each week - and what the results will be from here on out. =)
Another step I took today was to do something pretty radical for me. I talked to four friends and decided to tell them exactly what I weigh, and I will report to them each Wednesday what my new weight is. I will also email one of them what I've eaten during the day for extra accountability. You see, when JD is with his dad, and it is just me, it is easy to just pick something up on the way home or sit around and eat something convenient. I mean, after all, it's just me - who is going to know, right? Well, not any more, because they are going to know. In my note to my friends I told them that this is the year I lose the weight, because I am worth more than the struggle to lose weight...more than this making resolutions and going back on them. I am just worth more.
Today has been a pretty good day, as far as hunger and motivation go. Yesterday was a little rough, so it is nice that today was better. I know that there will be easier days and then some pretty tough days, too, but this time I feel different about the decision to be healthier. I feel like I did when I made the commitment to run the half marathon - like my mind is made up - now, I will just continue to follow through.
This is a beautiful life!
