This week was kind of "ehh" for me. I'm not sure why, I just was in a bit of a funk. I wasn't sure how I was going to do going into my Weight Watchers meeting because I had my friendsgiving last Monday, and overall I wasn't eating so great this week. Not bad, just not as good as I have been doing. But thankfully I went down 2lbs! I am now down 24.6lbs, so 3lbs away from my 10% keychain, and .4 lbs away from 25lbs down!! This realization was big for me, and definitely something that will help me get out of the funk I was in!
I took progress pics on Thursday at two months in to my journey. Obviously they are nowhere near perfect yet, but I can see a difference in my body and that is helpful. I am looking forward to pushing hard for the next two months so that in January the difference will be a bit more noticable! Photographs are a big motivator for me because I love taking and being in pictures, and I can't imagine how much more I will love it when I'm in better shape!
I have been toying with the idea of joining up at the LA Fitness around me again. I was a member for a little over a year, and I did group classes and personal training during those times. While doing the personal training 2-3 times a week was extremely helpful and I loved every second of it, it was also incredibly expensive. I wish I could do that again, but I can't afford it at this time.
I think that is one of the main reasons why I fell off the wagon as badly as I did in the past year. Because I had been going to PT and the gym 3 times a week, if not more, I was eating a lot more and still at least maintaining my weight, if not losing weight and building muscle. But then I stopped going to the gym and kept my eating habits where they were. This really messed with my head and my body, and now I am working to correct the last year.
I had intended to go to the rec center where I work because it is free for me, but it's been three months and I still haven't gone. I think money is honestly one of the biggest motivators for me, and if I were to join a gym and pay for it, I would feel obligated to go so I wasn't wasting my money, unlike with the free gym. I know that I am not going to feel motivated to get up and get moving during the winter months, so maybe if I'm paying for it I will!
So here's to the next week (Thanksgiving! eek!) and continuing on my journey!
