Friday, Mar 26 2010 - Some weeks the journey isn't only about weight loss...
View PRNCSSGRL's food & exercise for this day
Tomorrow is weigh in #13 and one of three things will happen. Either I will 1) lose a small amount of weight - by small I mean under a pound 2) Stay exactly where I was from my last weigh in - 234.8 3) Have a small gain - hopefully under a pound.
I'm not expecting anything big tomorrow.
I'm not going to freak out if the number is a gain. I'm not going to freak out if the number stays the same. I'm not going to freak out if there isn't a "big enough" loss.
I've taken a lot of steps in the right direction this week. I need to keep those up front in my mind as I weigh in tomorrow. I can't get all caught up in the numbers or I'm going to lose focus on what I accomplished this week:
* I joined a gym
* I've consumed on average about 100 ounces of water everyday
* I tackled the elliptical 3 times this week (10, 25 and 35 minutes)
* I swam a total of 120 lengths = 1.7 miles
* I ran 3 times for a total of 84 minutes / approx 5 miles
* I had a successful shopping experience and came out with a cute pair of jeans that are 4 sizes smaller than what I was wearing.
By the end of tomorrow I will be able to also add the following as my accomplishments this week:
* I will have run 30 minutes non stop and begin my last week of c25k.
* I will have met with trainer at gym and hopefully begin a long lasting relationship with Kent (that's his name...he's going to be my Superman!).
If this was only about weight loss I'd be disappointed by the numbers that I will or won't see tomorrow. But since this is about a life changing journey, I'd say I'm coming out on top!

You've also reached out and helped others. Whether it be by your blogs or saying some encouraging words to another. Spreading it around like manure. It doesn't help to keep it all in one place - it needs to be spread around to help others grow.
