Motivating Strategy

As promised today was a weigh in day, drum roll please....

I weighed in at 206.2 (Less 2lbs of clothes, I weighed them this morning. I'll be tracking the WW scale as well as my clothes weight because they can vary so much from week to week due to weather conditions in WA).

Obviously not thrilled about that number, but I'm inspired to change and I know those excess pounds are going to start slipping away quickly. This weeks WW meeting was so approrpiate, "Motivating strategy." I've already laid out my goals and I can't wait to reach them, now I just need to continually focus on these current feelings I have and let them carry me threw my journey.

Changes I've made in the last 24 hours to get me on track to meet my goals:

1st - I put on my pedometer and did a speedy lap around Greenlake with Laine Wednesday evening. Approx. 6,000 steps woo hoo! My goal each day is to hit 10,000 steps and with my regular routine at work yesterday and then the lake walk I was over and above that daily goal. For those interested I'll be walking every Wednesday evening around greenlake this summer to get ready for that 1/2 marathon in November and would love the company.

2nd - I started tracking points this morning again...if I follow the plan it works, amazing right?!?! This can be challenging over the weekend, but I'm hoping to stay inspired and focused and I'll report back how I did.


3rd- I signed up with New Roots Organic to receive a bin of fruits and veggies delivered to my door ever other week. I have two friends who are already using this service and they have really enjoyed the produce and the new recipes they have been encouraged to try with all the fun new foods they have received and never cooked with before. Once our bin starts to come it will be good motivation to eat better foods, in the meantime I'll need to make a trip to the store to stock up on some veggies and fruits.

Getting started....finally.

I've had this blog since September 2008, but this is my first post :(

Regardless, I'm motivated now and I want to make some changes in my life. Here are my goals:
  • Lose weight by improving my eating habits aka "Follow the Plan"
  • Reach my goal weight of 165 lbs by year end
  • Walk a full marathon by summer 2010.

Tomorrow is a weigh in day at WW, so I'll post my "starting weight" tomorrow and kick off this journey!
