So, I'm starting this a few weeks after I started my Weight Watchers journey, but better late than never, right? (I'm going to go with this for my late car payment today too - oops!) So far, I've lost 6.8 pounds and a couple of inches. My pants are already starting to notice the difference! So are my knees. Earlier this week I ran up the stairs. Then stopped, looked down the stairs and realized that the last time I RAN up stairs was several years ago. Yeesh.
But this all, just makes me realize that I'm on the right track. Has it been hard? Yes. Have I made sacrifices? Yes. Will it get harder? Yes. Will I need even more willpower? Yes. I am in this for the long run and that means sticking with it. My leader this morning said one lady had told her, "I have two options: Lose the weight or lose the weight." There are no other options! That's how I feel. This is working and it has to work or things get a lot uglier. My wish is to have more kids and be able to keep up with them. That's a lot to ask this body - in it's current state - to handle.
At class today I heard a girl talk about her soccer team. Perhaps that's a goal as well. To lose enough pressure off my knees to be able to play soccer again. As for a more short term goal: 4 more pounds and to kick some butt in the March Weight Loss Challenge with the girls at work. :o)
