Biggest Loser Blogger Challenge – Week 1
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe that I am about to admit this out in bloggy land BUT I need to be held accountable and I’m hoping this will help me. I went out and bought a scale over the weekend. I have not owned one in over 4 years. Not going to tell lie folks, I do not like the number but at the same time the numbers do not really bother me. What bothers me is how I fit in my clothes. I REFUSE to buy the next size up instead I hope to not only fit into my current size better but get back into some of those favorite outfits hanging in the dark corners of my closet again.
I told myself not to set any specific total weight loss goals for 2013 but I do hope to be in the middle (ish)of my healthy weight range before the end of the year. Two kids and 10 years later, I seriously doubt that I will ever have the body I had when I got married but March 1st will be my 10th wedding anniversary and I would really like to be down at least 15 pounds so that I can fit into something cute as we celebrate. Life is hectic and our schedules are not allowing for any time away from work anywhere near our anniversary but I know that we will go out for a date night and I really am tired of looking frumpy and lumpy in my clothes.
Mondays are CRAZY around here as I try to get myself, my 4 year old and my 21 month old out the door by 6:50 a.m. so I will weigh myself on Sundays and set my post up for Monday. I have used and been successful with Weight Watchers in the past and without re-enrolling I will be following the WW guidelines and using several work out DVDs that I already own.

ReplyDeleteI am excited to be doing the Biggest Loser Blogger : ) I can relate to the scale thing. I haven't owned one in years and don't weigh myself. BUT it's because the number does bother me. I hate not seeing a difference when I know I am doing good. So I go by the way my clothes fit and just try to stay focused on my workouts and diet. I wish you good luck in getting to where you want to be!
