It must have really helped me out because this morning I weighed in at 220.2!! That is 3.2 pounds down this week. I am so excited and proud of myself. I've decided on Saturday (officially, I swear!) as my weigh-in day and I will NOT weigh through the week. I have to have faith in myself that as long as I am on track and doing what I know will get me healthy the results will show one way or another. I am down 11.8 pounds since the first of the year and 40.8 pounds total from my heaviest weight. And even more exciting is that my first goal was to be under 220 by Valentines Day...only .3 pounds to hit that goal and I still have 3 1/2 weeks to go. Yay! This really gives me faith that my goals are attainable.
Jeff was joking with me that I better slow down or I'm not going to rock the 90-day challenge the way I want to. And I have to admit, it does make me wish the challenge had started a couple of weeks ago! When the day comes (the kick-off is the weekend of February 9th) I plan to keep up what I'm doing but really hone in on the exercise. I am still only working out steadily 3x a week, along with a mini-weight lift session at home here and there. I have BIG goals for this challenge, and I want to do everything I can to win it. So I am going to keep up the focus on the clean eating (including tightening up on my 'loose' day) and add in lots more exercise and of course the dreaded water:) Participating in this challenge is just extra motivation...it ends in May and my Chicago goal is in June so it's perfect timing.
I've heard this before but I saw it again on FB the other day...it's so true that if you change your mind, you change your body. My mind is changed and my body is on it's way;)

I am also self-obsessed with the scale. It's sad really. I try not to weigh every day but I just have to! It's a compulsion I think!
I totally hear you!! It calls to me, I swear! I get conflicted about it too, because even though you're not 'supposed' to weigh that often, I feel like it helps me sometimes...like if it's not where I feel like it should be it helps me get more focused and tighten up on things that I might be slacking on. But then it gets in my head! LOL We can't win haha:)
