Saturday Weigh In

Just got home from my Weight Watchers meeting, ...I was down 1.8 lbs, my current weight is now 156.4 lbs.  Total weight lost since June is now 22.8 lbs. and 16 inches.

Karen (my fearless Weight Watchers Leader) talked to me about starting a career with Weight Watchers.  It's funny, I revealed to her that in the beginning I joked with my friends/family that one day when I reached goal that I would go to work for Weight Watchers.  I wasn't expecting the opportunity to arrive so soon, ...I'm still so unsure of my Lifetime Goal weight number.

The Weight Watchers chart shows 146 lbs. as the high range for members who are 5'4" (I'm actually 5"3 &1/4" but Weight Watchers rounds up so I now fall into the 5'4" category).  I like reaching for 146 lbs., loosing another 10 lbs. feels so achievable to me.

Okay, since, I have a few more weeks to make that happen, I'm going to research what working for Weight Watchers entails to help me decide if this is the direction I'm wanting to go when I reach my next weight loss goal.

Hummus, ...my new GO-to Snack food!

Now that I'm eating clean, I'm giving up my old favorite snacks and am seeking out new foods to try.  This week I have discovered that I like Hummus.  I bought a box of single servings at SAM's Club and really, really like it.  The brand is:  Sabra Classic Hummus.

I have been eating it with cucumbers and whole wheat pita chips, ...yum, YUM!!!

I have some cookbooks and magazines that feature hummus recipes, thinking next week I will be giving these a try as well!  ; )

Wall Sits, ...harder than it looks!

I'm so excited, ...I have a new record for the Wall Sit! 

13:06  (13 minutes - 6 seconds)

Although Jillian wasn't standing on my legs, they felt like someone was so I thought I'd share this photo of another proud moment of doing wall sits!

8 Week Challenge

Today is Day 1 of my Max'd Out 8 Week Challenge!

Week 1 Rules: 
30 minutes of Cardio 3 x per week in addition to 40 minutes of Max'd Out.
64 ounces of water daily
No Fast Food

I'll post updates on my progress, ...I am definately in the Game!

Oh, ...you know, I got this!!!

Change is GOOD!

I love the way my body is changing, it's incredible what eating healthy foods and exercise can do!  I weighed in today and I am down 1 lb., yay, ...total weight loss since June 18, 2011 is now 21 lbs. and 16 inches.

It is funny how now weighing in at 158 lbs. I am wearing size 8 jeans and before when I wore them I weighed 130 lbs.  It really proves that the scale is JUST a tool to measure progress and should not be used to define how you look and feel.  Let your clothes do that for you!  ; )

28 Days and still Counting!

I completed the 28 day Eat Clean Challenge on November 7th. I started my journey with the ECD weighing 164.8 and now I am at 158.2. Total weight loss during this period was 6.4 lbs.

It's great to loose weight, but even better to be putting my efforts on eating healthy foods instead of obsessing about the numbers on the scale. I am so happy to have discocvered the Eat Clean lifestyle. It's so easy to incorporate it into my Weight Watchers program, ...just love that!

And, a huge part of me loves that it provides a bit of comfort since it has similarities to the basic principals of Somersizing!  ; )

29 Years @ Zbox

Kenny and I attended the 25 Year Club Annual Dinner at Summit Hills County Club in Kentucky. 

It's fun to dress up and every year I look forward to buying something new for us to wear.  This year I decided on a little black/red dress and was so excited when I discovered that I am now in a size 8!!!
