Well, my journey to weight loss has not gone as I had hoped. I'm still right where I was when I wrote that last post. My weight on the scale this morning was 149.5. So, actually I'm little higher than last time.
I have been working out 5 days a week for the past 3 weeks and tracking my calories. My problem seems to be the weekends. Too much beer, too much wine, not enough exercise..you get the point. I don't know if 1 or 2 days of not doing what I'm supposed to can really undo 5 days of it, but it seems that it can.
So, I have joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. I have 2 1:1 sessions with her (starting Wednesday). Tonight I am going to my first group traning session tonight. I'm nervous, but I'm hoping this can get me on the right track. I'm trying very hard not to get discouraged. I know that some effort is better than none, but it's frustrating. I don't have any delusions about looking perfect, I just want to be comfortable in my skin and healthy.
I'm going to try and not weigh myself for a week or so. Easier said that done, but I need to.
Here's hoping this is the kick in the butt that I need!
