Week 7

I finally made it back to my regular meeting!  I was by my lonesome tonight though, but that is okay.... I decided to stay anyways.  I am glad I did.  I participated a lot in tonights meeting, which is very unlike me.  I figured most people were being quiet, I might as well speak up.  I ended up having a woman asking me different questions, and I was proud that I could answer her.  I had another successful weigh-in, but I go in not expecting much of a loss.  I know I will come to a point when the numbers get smaller or the fluctuate and I keep trying to mentally prepare myself for that.  It is hard when I keep seeing such great numbers though.  I have lost a total of 17.4 pounds sine April 23rd.  I have not really noticed the change though.  My "big girl" pants still fit, and my old pants (just the next size down) are still too tight.  I think I have noticed some change in my face, which would not surprise me since that is the last place I gained the weight.  Plus, my bras are fitting better.  I had gained weight along my chest, which made my bras tight.  So I am seeing some changes but I do know it will take time.  I am 7.6 pounds away from my 10% goal, which will bring me down to the weight I was last July.

My goal this week is to eat more fruits and vegetables, along with other power foods.  I havent had as many of them these last 2 weeks.  It was one of the focuses during out meeting tonight.  I did notice when I ate power foods, that I felt better and more energized.  Though right now with school finishing up, I do not think all the power foods in the world could give me the energy I need to get through this week!  LOL
