Yeah, that's not a typo. It is officially day 58, whether I've been on track or not. Like I say in my little blurb, time is passing whether I'm making changes or not, and the proof is in the...low-fat, non-dairy pudding.
My journey started 58 days. Today, I got a new road map. I went to to my first WW meeting. It is a little scary, but I have to remind myself the reasons why I joined in the first place:
1. I cannot do it on my own, I have proven that to myself time and time again.
2. I recognize that my intake of food is something that is negatively affecting my ability to lose weight and WW is designed to combat that.
3. Everyone that I have heard of/from holds WW in high regards as an effective weight loss tool. So, if it worked for everyone else, it is sure to work for me.
Starting weight: 259.6, yes that is higher than day 1 of my journey 58 days ago...but that's why I'm here. 5% weight loss=13 lbs.
10% weight loss= 26 lbs. I hope to achieve my 10% weight loss by January 1, 2012.
In addition to joining and attending a WW meeting, I also signed up for an 8 week boot camp at my fitness center. It is semi personal training/semi small group training and it is once a week early in the morning for 2 months. I will get a fitness assessment and an at home weekly plan to follow that is customized to me and my needs. I look forward to that beginning on October 18th and I dread it at the same time. I know I am out of shape, and I just hope to survive it :-)
Well, that is my update for now. I will return soon with an update on my physical assessment, measurements etc. In the meantime, do something small to improve the quality of your life.
I'm proud of you for joining ww and embarking on a new route to this map called life and weight loss :)
