Do-Over Weigh-In Results

Do-Over Starting Weight: 247 pounds

Week One Results: 241 pounds

Weight Loss: 6 pounds

It's been a good week. I've made some changes to my diet (decreased my eating out, especially at breakfast time), and started drinking one Herbalife shake each day. I can't honestly say I committed myself to an exercise plan this past week. But I've got a goal for this week. 

Monday- walk 18 holes at Cade's tournament (approximate 5-6 miles).

Tuesday- walk 18 holes at Cade's tournament.

Wednesday- walk 18 holes at Cade's tournament.

Thursday- walk 2-3 miles in the morning, lap swim for 30-45 minutes after work.

Friday- rest day.

Saturday- Amarillo Color Run (5K). 

I'm excited to see next week's weigh-in results with all this planned exercise! 

Summertime

I love summer. Blue skies. Warm temperatures. Sunshine. Tanned skin. Driving around town with the car windows down. Radio turned up loud. Sitting pool side.

But there's a heightened feeling of insecurity. Bathing suits. Shorts. Sleeveless tops. All the things that I want to avoid. 

I can't remember the last time I actually got in a pool. 

When I go to the pool, I'm covered from head to toe (and not to protect my skin from sun damage). I don't want anyone to see my flabby dimpled bits. I sit poolside and stare enviously at those brave enough to bare it all- often times too much "all". I have no desire to bare it "all" (even if I had the perfect body to!). I just want to be comfortable in my own skin. To jump into that pool fearlessly and secure of who I am. Flabby, dimpled bits and all.

Starting Over (again)

I *may* have hit rock-bottom. (Again). I find myself "starting over". I fell off the wagon weeks ago and after grazing along the way, I've picked up 11 extra pounds. 11 flipping pounds. I bargained with myself this morning as I stepped on the scale. Telling myself I'd be ok with 3 or 4 gained pounds. But 11 pounds. Dang-it. 

The Color Run is 12 days away. Ummm, I don't even have to tell you I'm not ready for this race. I'll be walking my hiney, along with my 11 extra pounds, across this finish line. Double dang-it. 

~Deep sigh~

Starting over sucks.

Here's hoping to better results this time....
