Happy Friday, y'all!
So let's get this weight loss party started, shall we? No WL party is complete without before pics & weight!
I know I said I broke up with the scale, but since I'm being weighed at the personal training facility, I really don't have a choice. BUT after talking with the trainers about the effects the scale can have on my mental well-being, they've given me tons of great resources dealing with "feeling fat" and the number that shows up on the scale.
So it's with luke-warm indifference that I welcome the scale back into my life. Without further ado, the numbers & the black mail photos:
Starting weight: 233 pounds (please try not to vomit or cry like I almost did!)
Before photos:
If you look closely, behind me on my door is my workout schedule!
Trying not to suck it in for full effect!
I also think it's time for me to re-align my goals and rewards. Too many goals & too many rewards. It was making my head and my bank account dizzy! So here are my new goals, set with the help of my superfreakinawesome trainers.
Goals & Rewards:
5% WL (221 lbs) - New shoes. Heels, not gym shoes!
10% WL (210 lbs) - ipod shuffle
199 lbs - New, fancy gym bag
-50 lbs (183 lbs) - Massage/spa day
-75 lbs (158 lbs) - Sephora trip
140 GOAL - Free personal training, a rockin' bod, happiness, & a spa day!
I didn't include one obvious thing I'm going to need when I lose weight: clothes. That's something that will be a necessary purchase when I lose the chunk. And I do already have a closet full of clothes that I can't fit into. That should keep me clothed until the 183 pound mark.
MANTRA:
Remember when I was trying to come up with a saying to propel me through my workouts? Well, I tried everything last night during PT & nothing was working: "Push it!" "Do it!" "C'mon!" Well, last night my mom & I were watching NCIS: LA and one of the former SEALS repeated the SEAL motto:
"The only easy day was yesterday!"
How true is that of our weight loss efforts & struggles?! I'm now adopting that as my personal mantra when I work out. I'll try it out next time and let you know how it works.
Employing personal trainers has always been the smartest thing I've ever done.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need a hot bath.
