75 Pounds Lost Finally!!!!!!!!!!

Well I went to weigh in at Weight Watchers tonight with a heavy heart after my confession yesterday I knew it was not going to be good. I was all ready to hear I was up a little, I was expecting it. Well I know my jaw hit the ground when I was down a pound. A whole pound, an important pound.....  
It was the 75th pound lost!!!!!!!!!


So now I can officially say I have lost 75 pounds. I should feel awesome, I should feel good, but I don't. For some reason I just do not feel like I earned it this week maybe because I have not been as strict with the diet as I usually am, I am glad I kept up my workouts because obviously it was my saving grace this week! So I can walk away from this weigh in feeling confident that I will keep losing and reach my ultimate goal weight.


 I got my 75lb charm and magnet. Of course I added it to my growing key chain =)


Now onto the new challenge!!!
Holiday Hoedown Challenge
The Sisterhood is having the next challenge and I am so excited!!! The Holiday Hoedown is kicking off and I must say I am super excited!!! I had so much fun doing Shrinkvivor and I cannot wait to start this next challenge! I have an awesome fun team of gals the Hohoho Hoes :) I know we will rock this challenge and win it!!!!

This week our challenge is to earn our exercise minutes so I kicked it off tonight and spent 50 minutes at the gym! I did a 25 minutes run on the treadmill and then spend 25 minutes on the elliptical. It felt good to get into the gym after 2 days of rest.

Our other challenge is to outline our goals for the challenge:
-My weight loss goal is going to be 12 pounds. I lost 14.6 doing Shrinkvivor so I know I can at least get down 12 more pounds. With the holidays I want to focus and stay strict but not miss out on everything.
-My fitness goal is to workout for 200 minutes a week. I will aim for 30-40 minutes a day everyday. so I should get 300 but with work being 6 full days a week I am being realistic.
-My plan is to stick on Weight Watchers. It has helped me lose 75 pounds so far so I think its a good one =)

Congratulations on your 75 pounds lost!!! That is amazing. I know you think you didn't deserve it this week, but sometimes our bodies get in a rut and a cheat day actually moves things in the right direction. I don't understand it either, but I've had it happen too. Be proud of yourself for all you've accomplished because you really have earned it.
