Week 4 Weigh In: How did I do?
I was a little disappointed that I was not able to push past my "small number" week for 2 lbs, but I will take the 0.5 lbs this week for a total of 11 POUNDS DOWN!!! I met and exceeded my goal of 8 lbs and I am proud of that. Now I must say, I have a history of quitting my diet around the 10 lb mark, Lol. But, I am so excited about building from this point in February. No yo-yo dieting.
I am determined to make it another week. Baby steps.
Progress Pics
Here I am after 11 lbs down. I decided to wear this Spurs t-shirt I got in San Antonio because of it's baby doll silhouette. I use this term loosely though, because there is nothing baby doll about this top! LOL

| I don't know why I'm smiling, but what are you supposed to do in a progress pic? |

| This is the real problem right here. My mom told me once that I looked good from the back! LMBO! |
So at the end of each month, I will take another pic until I can't wear this outfit anymore! I'm claiming this for my March 30th pics!!!
I've talked about creating mini goals for myself so that I could pat myself on the back often during this journey. These goals have rewards. Some are tangible, others are not. Here is a list of a few monthly goals and rewards:
- January- 8 lbs: Biggest Loser Scale ACCOMPLISHED
- February- 8 lbs: New dress for party
- March- 10 lbs: New workout clothes
- April- 8 lbs: 1st Biggest Loser Contest Finale $100 Gift Card- Trip to Outlets
- May- 8 lbs: 2nd Biggest Loser Contest Finale- Buy Wii Fit/X-Box with jackpot
- June- 10 lbs: Birthday Beach Trip
- July- 8 lbs: Cleveland Vacation- THE ASHANTI DRESS!!!
- August- 10 lbs: Spa Day
- September- 8 lbs: Silent Retreat (I'll talk about this one later)
- October- 8 lbs: Danja Mowf's Halloween Ball- dressed as sexy nurse!!!
- November- 10 lbs: See the family for the first time at Thanksgiving
- December- 8 lbs: GOAL WEIGHT!!!! This in itself is reward enough, but I will finally be ready to shop for the wedding dress of my dreams!
These will probably be tweaked, but it is good to have something to look forward to along the way. I will be creating bi-weekly rewards as well to keep myself focused. Stay tuned for those!
Inspirational Song of the Day
Today's song is Ledisi's "Pieces of Me" and Ledisi and Eric Benet's "Good Life". I really wanted to show this video of the YouTube vlogger who inspires me. DivaSlimDown began her journey in May of 2011. As of this date she has lost over 131 lbs. That's correct 131 lbs in 8 months. Now this is her journey, not mine. I'm fine with 2 lbs a week, but Diva made me realize that I could reach my goal in this lifetime! With consistency and determination I can do this!
So please enjoy this video of DivaSlimDown at her 100 lb mark and catch her on YouTube to see what she looks like now. Simply inspiring!
