Today there is a Little Less of Me...

Check out my progress ticker to the right....see what I see? That's right boys and girls, I lost 1.2 pounds this week!!! Woo Hoo...that is .2 pounds MORE than my goal of 1lb per week! It is also impressive considering I wasn't so great with my eating last Saturday, and by not so great, I mean I was awful...ate tons of "non WW friendly foods"...starting the morning with Butter Braid bread and ending the evening with a Peanut Buster Parfait from Dairy Queen...It helps that I was surgical with my diet the rest of this week, ate tons of vegetables and lean protein, drank a ton of water, and got a couple of workouts in before weigh in!

And speaking of working out...I made good on my promise yesterday and got to the gym this morning and plan to do the same tomorrow morning...Anyhow, I am proud of myself and want to share something with you that has helped me get through the last two weeks. Our WW leader gave this to us and it is a pretty awesome way to keep things in perspective, stay focused, and you will reach your goal!

If I Lost 1 LB. Each Week of 2010

By Valentine's Day I'd be 7 lbs lighter

By St. Patrick's Day I'd be 11 lbs lighter

By Easter I'd be 16 lbs lighter

By Memorial Day I'd be 23 lbs lighter

By Flag Day I'd be 25 lbs lighter

By Independence Day I'd be 27 lbs lighter

By Labor Day I'd be 36 lbs lighter

By Columbus Day I'd be 41 lbs lighter

By Halloween I'd be 44 lbs lighter

By Thanksgiving I'd be 47 lbs lighter

By Christmas I'd be 51 lbs lighter

By New Year's Eve I'd be 52 lbs lighter

I look at that list everyday and imagine how I am going to look and feel in just a few short months! I will be celebrating Memorial Day in a bikini!!!! Like I said in my earlier post, I cannot wait for Halloween this year! This list is like a checklist for me. And I cannot wait to begin checking off the holidays this year. They are going to come and go whether I lose weight or not...why NOT tie them to something else meaningful this year?
