Last week: 279.6 lbs
This week: 277.8 lbs
Loss this week: 1.8 lbs
My weight loss this week was just .2lbs off from what I'd set as my goal. I have to be happy with it though because its still a weight loss instead of a gain! I am that much closer to the goal of being down 20 lbs for New York City.
I'm waking up to my issues with my body and with food. I really noticed this week that I struggle with feeling food is the enemy. We went out to eat for our wedding anniversary on Friday night and I brought my Weight Watchers points book. I was upset when the meal I wanted (steak and side salad) would be 12 points. I had the points free and wasn't going over in any way, but I still panicked. My husband sat there in shock because I was making a healthy choice but still feeling guilty about it. We went for ice cream with the kids after and I had such a tough time. I still had enough points for a frozen yogurt but felt like I was cheating because I was eating something I enjoyed. When did enjoying food become a guilty sin? Again, something I need to explore a little more deeply, but maybe not today.
As my husband and I plan in more detail for our trip to New York City, we have started to discuss the things we want to do and see. The Statue of Liberty tour came up in our plans last night and I did a little research. You can actually climb up to lady liberty's crown. All 354 steps.
Yup, you guessed it, a new goal for me. If 6 flights of steps at the Empire State Building was a challenging goal, this one is even more of a challenge to work towards. I don't know if I'll be ready for it, but it gives me something to focus on!
I've been timing myself and doing 5 minutes of steps a day. I manage an average of 150 steps in that time and am gasping for breath at the end. I think I'm going to change it to timing how long it will take to do 355 steps and see if this is even a manageable goal. Here's to another week!
