Week 1 Complete

I was very nervous at my weigh in this morning, but I went in anyway. Surprise! I lost 3.4!!!! What a relief! I thought there was no way that I could loose that week. My parents took us to Leatherby's and Kev and I took our littlest 2 to Red Robin yesterday after the zoo...there was just no way! Lo and behold somehow I managed to loose at least 3! I know it would've been doubled had I done as well as I did those first two days on the plan, but I didn't and it was ok! After that bowl of celebratory ice cream I had for lunch today, not feeling so good now after eating it though, I plan to do much better this week. After my meeting, which come to find out, is pretty much a senior citizens class, I headed straight across the street to our family fitness center and bought my family a yearly pass. I get a month free of the aerobics classes and then I can choose to upgrade our pass any time in the next year for an unlimited class pass. I actually had a good experience when I went in there, although I wanted to walk in with a brown bag over my head, so that no one would see me, I didn't and guess what? I saw at least 3 people I know who were more than welcoming to see me. My friend Sonja from my ward was there and came up and gave me a big hug and talked to me about joining her for the Sat morning classes. I saw another friend from my ward, Julie, and then Sara's sister Dayna waved at me on her way out. Little things, they might seem to you, but to me it was just what I needed today. People were happy to see me and very encouraging, they probably weren't thinking..."well it's about TIME she get in here and start exercising!" At least they didn't say it out loud and if it were me, seeing someone else I knew come into the gym, I know I wouldn't be thinking/saying such things about them. Anyway, the point is, I'm excited to go back and get in a good work out! Hopefully I can tonight! So there you have it, my update for today! New weight of 248.8! I still weigh more than Arthur's dad on BL, but I'm sure I weigh more than a lot of dads out there (my husband included, he's at my goal weight right now which is 160!) Anyway....
Now I think I'll print up some inspiring and motivational quotes and hang them around my kitchen...yep, that sounds fun! And maybe I'll try attending the ww class on Monday night with my friend Aly and her friends, it might be a younger crowd with young kids like me! (not that I'm a young kid, just that they might have young children in their family and I'd be able to relate to them better).
