No Excuses!!!

One week down! My second WW meeting was last night and the official weigh-in came back and I'm 5.4 pounds lighter! Pretty exciting seeing results for all the work this past week. I got a gold star, literally, they give you a gold star for every 5lbs you lose - kinda cheesy. The biggest bummer is that the weigh-in is at 6pm and I sure wish it was at 6am right after I wake up and pee because when I got up this morning and stepped on the scale I was down 7.8lbs. I suppose the actual pounds really don't matter as long as that number keeps going down and I keep seeing results.

Last night at the meeting we discussed excuses. Excuses why we never lost this weight before and excuses why we don't exercise. The crazy thing is that every excuse on the list was one of mine at some point. It's nuts how one single event can change your perspective on that list. Before, all the items on the list were top priority and now I realize that losing weight and getting healthy is way more important than the list.

Exercise was actually fun last night. I didn't get to use my 5lb weights that I bought for my exercise Mary recommended, but Tiff and I went to the park and walked for about 45 minutes with Team Trellie (Trey and Ellie) and then we chased them up the hills for another half hour. I was gross and sweaty and thirsty afterwards, but LOVED every second of it. Who knew that exercising could be such a thrill... if it was like that everyday this would be a piece of cake!
