Promises Kept

Weigh-in eve I made myself some promises. I repeated these promises to myself before stepping on the scale. 
Promises about the scale:
- My weight tomorrow will not determine what I eat tomorrow.
- If I'm over 220 it does not erase the 165 pounds weight that I have kept off.
- The scale is only one measurement. 




I wanted to be under 220. I was. :)
I wanted to run this morning. I did.
I wanted to maintain healthy eating regardless of my weight. I have my food planned for the day.


Thinking about my weight....

I'm a pound more than I was in October.
I'm up 26 pounds from my lowest weight.
I have lost 136.6 pounds/38.4% of my starting body weight!

In an effort to not obsess over the scale, my weigh-ins will happen every 2 weeks. The next one will be on February 7th. What do I hope to weigh? I don't. I hope to be healthier on February 7th than I am today. I hope to have recorded for 29 days. I anticipate being around 215, but I know that sometimes our bodies are strange and hold on to weight for odd reasons. 

What about you?
Where do you hope to be in 2 weeks?

Great Job Kari. You remain down a whole person!! That is an amazing accomplishment. The scale is tough. I have been wearing my body media band and using my fitness pal for all food, and despite sticking to my caloric goals since Jan. 1st, the scale is holding steady and that is just very defeating. I know it's just one number and I, like you, will try not to obsess over it. I'm off to the gym in just a few. Have a great week!

Well I am hoping to stick with my January goals for the rest of the month and then set new February goals and stick with them, which mostly involve a certain amount of exercise and eating healthier and having a calorie deficit of a certain amount (600 a day for January and something higher for February). I hope that weight loss will follow, but as you say sometimes our bodies just don't cooperate in the time frame we would like.

On June 19, 2009 I started my weight loss journey. It has become quite the journey! As of today (2-1-11) I have lost 162 pounds and have gained a whole new life. This blog is a continuation of my journey. I hope to inspire and encourage others through my process.
