Sermon Point 4

In my last post after I had finished and posted it I realized I did not give an update on my weight loss journey.  As I said before many things in life have and are changing including my weight.  There were a few times that me losing weight was not the forefront of my mind, especially during my health issues.  Here is a picture of dedication for you though; I GOT UP AND RAN ON THANKSGIVING DAY! Yep, I knew I wanted to eat so I ran! After the first of the year I joined Weight Watchers for the 2nd time and I must say this time around I have had better results so far. My weight was fluctuating between 227-230 yet again and was at 227 the morning I began WW.  Last week when I weighed in I was down to 217 for a total loss of 10 pounds! YAY ME! Then I had a horrible weekend with my eating habits. I fell off the eating good train, so Monday a great friend and I decided to encourage each other to exercise.  I have ran three days this week (I missed today) and figured the scale wasn't going to be nice to me but I wasn't ready for what number I read. Those three pounds I had lost last week, guess what, they are back...so my scale says! I want to believe it is lying to me again. It has done that before; well in my opinion any way. ;) I am quite discouraged especially since I started back exercising, but I am reminding myself eating right and exercising isn't ALL about the scale but how I feel. Honestly I feel better this week with the scale at 220 than I did last week at 217, so I will get up tomorrow and Saturday and run! My goal is to run 5/7 days a week and for now I am at 22 minutes on the elliptical.  Anyway, if you are reading this and on your own weight loss journey, YOU CAN DO IT! If you are skinny and reading this, go eat a doughnut for me! ;)
