3 Medicine Balls

Yeah, get a load of this!


So I started Weight Watchers last week (the 13th). I had watched Jennifer Hudson on Oprah the Thursday prior. I had attempted to go to a meeting that night in Austin but couldn't find the building! Frustrating! Still learning the Austin roads. But when I was in SLC on Sunday I went there and signed up. Soo, Sundays will be my normal weigh in days. I signed up for the Monthly Pass, which allows me to go to all the meetings I want and all the e-tools online. This means I can go on trips and still make it to meetings in other cities and states. Perfect right? Yup, I thought so, too!


I've done WW before and am determined to do it again. It needs to happen obviously and Josh and I both want to get more in shape and healthy. So I weighed in at 163.3 pounds. Scary right? Pppsshhh being a mere 5'4" doesn't help my case at all. So my first goal is 5% of my wight which is 8 pounds. Then you shoot for 10% which will be a total of 16. End goal? I should be between 117 and 139. Now I certainly think anything below 125 -130 will be too much. So once I am in the 130's I'll be content. So that's a total of nearly 25 pounds that need to go. Now when I look in the mirror I don't acutally see that much weight. Where in the world is 25 pounds going to come from?! Now, I am noticing some areas that fat likes to sit a bit more easily than before.


Funny story. Remember that my first goal is 8 pounds. So Monday night while Josh was cooking out dinner I was cleaning up a bit. I happened to make it into the office where Josh's birthday stuff was still sitting. I picked up his 8 pound medicine ball. WHAT?! That's my first goal! Holy mother....ugh that's a lot! And to think, I need to lose 3 of them!!!! Seriously when you think about it like that, HOLY CRAP! I guess when you put it in a different perspective like that it looks a bit different! My first weigh in is this weekend. I'm hoping I've made some progress. I did make a goal this week to eat 3 meals a day. As a flight attendant it's hard to get 2 meals some days so this is a huge for me. But I've had 3 meals each day AND a few snacks here and there! I've certainly noticed that I'm hungry much much more because I think my body is learning that it doesn't need to store everything that I'm eating. So we shall see how this goes!

How many medicine balls do YOU need to lose?!
