Week 29 Weigh In/ What's My Motivation?/ Water Country

Week 29 Weigh In: Attitude Adjustment

After putting pen to paper and tracking my WW points this week I have lost 5 lbs.  I want to be out of the 190's next Friday.  Even though I definitely look better than I did at 230 lbs, I am not happy with the way I look right now.  Feeling "skinn-ty" at 199 wears off after a while-lol.  I want to work on my attitude towards the scale.  This was the first week in 29 weeks that I did not get on the scale on Friday.  I committed myself to the good, the bad, and the ugly and therefore I willed myself on that scale each week to accept my fate.  Since I hit a plateau, I have been putting it off until finally, I weighed in on a Sunday.  I got good news today, but my attitude was so screwed I almost missed my blessing.

Weighing every week is a way for me to be accountable for my actions M-F.  It is a way for me to measure the success or failure of a my weekly menu and workouts.  If I don't like the number on the scale, I make the adjustments and keep it moving.  Not wanting to weigh is like not wanting to face it and make the changes I need to keep going.  This is failure to me.  Failure to do something I KNOW I can do.  So dead that.  If I don't like the 190's, then let me get the hell up outta here!

What's My Motivation?: I Need To Train For Something!!! 

I'm on the quest to find a race to train for.  I want to challenge myself to run/walk.  I need to trick my body into the next level of fitness by doing something I've never done.  I've had this idea before, but this time I mean it =D.  I'm researching how to run a 5k in 8-10 weeks.  I want a very structured program I can do on the treadmill in the evenings.  Cool Runnings website has a Couch-to-5K program that looks easy enough for me to follow.  Just three days a week for eight weeks.  I will start as soon as my car gets fixed and I am able to workout in the gym again.  Check out the plan here- http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Water Country: Bathing Suit Dilemma

I want to channel some of this confidence.  Go girl!

I won't front, I am very excited about taking Mini-Me and my God daughter to Water Country next month.  HOWEVER, the thought of getting into my first bathing suit in 10 years is making me a little naseaus-lol.  I found my old tankini in the closet and I may try to ressurect that.  There was a cute white cover up I found in a mag.  My goal is to look cute and not look like I'm hiding my body.  I want to excude confidence and have fun with the girls before they start school in September.  I will definitely post pictures.
