Weigh-In Friday!

Today was my first Friday Weigh-In. I have been a member of Weight Watchers for a couple months now, and had always weighed in on Sundays. That was a hard day for me. With the weekend generally comes one day were we eat a little differently than normal. A lot of Saturdays we have been traveling to Fort Wayne or Michigan, visiting family, celebrating babies (!!!) or weddings. I think the disappointment from Sunday weigh-ins and the stress to eat perfect 100% of the time was very hard for me to do; especially because I have a husband who hasn't embraced the healthy eating that I am working towards.

So today? 199.7 That -3.3 pounds! I am super stoked and believe this is the fire I needed to keep me going longer. We have taken a few walks this week and ate more on track that the last couple. I'm putting this down in the books as a win.

So.....goals. I have been thinking about goals for the last few days. I feel that I need to set a weight goal, an exercise goal, and a NSV (non-scale victory) goal. Here are my thoughts:

1. Weight Goal -- It is 6/6. I feel that to keep the motivation flowing I will have to set short term goals. My goal for the 4th of July (just under a month) will be a 5 pound loss. 194.7 While this translates to over a pound a week, I feel this will be easier to achieve due to the next goal.
2. Exercise Goal -- The husband and I signed up for the Colts 5K at the end of August. I haven't run since last fall. He hasn't run....well in a very long time. I want to work up to being able to complete the 5K non-stop. No time goal. This will require picking up our exercise routine and throwing some running in. I will do this.
3. NSV Goal -- I've really thought about the NSV goal that I would like to lay out. I have recently been able to fit back into size 16 jeans. My preference on jeans is loose and comfy; without looking real trashy. My goal for the next few months is to fit into the 16's with some breathing room!

There you have it folks; I would NEVER talk about this stuff out loud with most people, but I trust you guys :) 

Here's to motivation && creating a healthy lifestyle!
