Well Deserved

Well, as you probably gathered from my little friend to the right…. I DID IT!!!! I lost a pound, putting me at -45.5 lbs.!!!!  Considering the fact that I worked really hard this week, it was a well deserved pound. I know it is just a pound but now that I am getting down lower I am having a bitch of a time trying to get my weight to move! I think I would have burst into tears if I hade staid the same or heaven forbid gained last night because in the last month or so that has happened were I worked really hard and I gained a pound!!! But I lost…. Thank god!!! My leader always gives out rewards at the end of each meeting and announced to everyone when you get to even the smallest goals. She then asks you to say something, but only if you want. Well she started off with some other people who had lost there first 5 pounds and one girl got her 25 pound magnet and 10% keychain at the same time. She then looked at me at got her roll of 5 pound stickers out and started rolling off nine of them. (These are little gold star stickers that have a 5 on them for those of you who don't know.) Then everyone started cheering and clapping and congratulating me. We have a very close group at weight watchers were I go. We are like a little family. There is a group of about 12 -15 regulars that come every week and support each other. I love these moments because they know exactly how you feel and have been with you most of the Journey. Well I was on cloud nine!! I gave my little speech about how hard I worked for that 1 pound loss this week and what a struggle it is when you get closer to your goal. But I also mentioned how fabulous I feel!!! Then I had an entire room of people telling me how fabulous I look! Never in a million years did I ever picture this!! Plus one of the girls pointed out how my new skinny jeans (size 12) are getting to big. It is the fact that she new they were my skinny jeans and that I just bought them a few months ago and that she noticed that they were big on me! I also told them how I had been at this weight one other time and this is where I got frustrated and gave up but that the difference this time is that I am going to weight watchers and I could not have done it with out them and the tools that they taught me. There is no stopping me now! Look out Virgin fat, here I come!
Well I figured since I did not eat one single Flex point this week that I deserved a treat. First of all I would like to mention how much I love the fact that Canadian law now states that all food must have the nutrition facts on it in the next year (I think it is a year)!! So I went to the isle in the grocery stores with all the Christmas goodies and I bought a small box of Lindt Dessert Chocolates. They were all flavored like really yummy desserts and the whole box had 7 in it and 9 points. So I gave one to my mom and my Aunt and one to Trevor and then for 5 points I savored every bite of four of them and voila they were gone and not sitting in the cupboard for me to obsess about. It was a very nice treat and well deserved!
I just got some really upsetting news…. So I don't know if I will make it to the gym tonight. I would like to, but I am pretty upset and I have things to deal with that I can't discuss here. I was so happy at the beginning of this post and then I got some shitty news and now I am very sad and feel like eating. :(
Enough said.
Goodnight.

Well I went to the gym last night but I did not do my kickboxing class because my lower back was still sore. So instead I did 40 minutes on the bike at level 10 random and 40 minutes on the elliptical at level 11 cross train. I figure that ought to do it! I then had a hot bath with Radox bath salts and got Trevor to put some of that Icy Cold stuff on my back. You know the blue goo that you rub on and it feels kind of hot yet cold! Well what ever I did seemed to work because my back is feeling better. Still not 100% but better!
Well I am off to weigh in tonight assuming that the freezing rain lets up! It seems to have turned to rain though so I should be OK. I drive to a small town about 7 minutes form here because this is where my Aunt lives. We have a meeting here tomorrow night at 6 but I have only gone to it once when I could not go to my usual one. I was told the one where my Aunt lives is smaller and more intimate, although they are both run by the same leader, so that is good. It is just easier to go to the one where my Aunt lives because she comes with us!
I want to say congratulations to Nicky for getting to goal!!!! I have been lurking around on her site for a long time! For those of you who have never been to her site you should take a look. It is very inspirational!
Oh yes I would like to say good luck to my fitness kickboxing instructor and occasional personal trainer Tanya. She is fighting in a Hook 'N' Shoot pro-fight in Evansville Indiana On November 19. You can see the poster at fightworld.com. Tanya is the second from the left. She is one of my main inspirations! Her class with be pure torture tomorrow night because she is in training. I hope my back is 100% by then because I would love to do it! Good luck Tanya. Kick some ass!!!
Anyhoo, I am excited about weigh in tonight. I don't wish to discuss it now though! I do not want to jinx myself! I am not one of those girls who don't eat the day of weigh in because hey will be heavier but I am superstitious!! So I will fill you all in tomorrow!
You will never live this day again, so live it to the fullest!
Have a good one!

I never ended up doing a work out yesterday. My lower back was sore all day. It is still sore but I will go to the gym and do a work out tonight anyways. I know this pain. I have had it before. It is from sleeping on a hard bed! I will do my 30 minutes on the elliptical and then 15 to 20 minutes on the bike and then I will see how I feel as to whether I will do my kickboxing class or not. I hope I am up to it. Maybe I will tell the instructor that my back is a little sore and if something I am doing is bothering it, I'll do something else.
One thing I neglected over the weekend is my water intake. I always forget on the weekend! I drank a little but not nearly as much as I should have! I am trying to make up for it today! To make matters worse I drink a lot of coffee on the weekends! I guess I will deal with one addiction at a time!
Well, I guess that is it for today. Nothing too exciting happening here! I got one more good work out to go and then tomorrow is weigh in!
Have a great day!
