A Happy Place!

If you have been following my Weight Journey you know that last week was rough for me!  I am here to tell you that with the help of my amazing husband, family and all of you I was able to get myself back on a roll.  At first with gaining .8 oz I was very upset.  Honestly wanted to cry!  After hearing so many people say so many things about that .8 I realized that not one person thought I had failed like I was seeing it in my own mind.  I decided to just continue doing what I had been doing.
Picture is not mine it's from the Biggest Looser Facebook Page!
I weighed in yesterday 1/29/13 and I lost 4 pounds 2 oz.  It felt just as good as losing 8 pounds my very first week!  I feel refreshed and determined that I can do this!  I deserve this!  I now weigh 166.8 and let me tell you it has been a LONG time since I was under 170.  It feels amazing!  I reached my 5% goal for Weight Watcher which was to lose 9 lbs.  Now I am working toward my 10% goal which is to lose 18 lbs.  I cannot remember if I told all of you that my personal goal for myself is to reach a weight of 150.  It's getting so close I can actually taste it!  I will plan a new goal for myself once I reach the 150 but for now I'm going to just enjoy being under 170!
My husband is like my personal "cheerleader".  He is so supportive and always seems to say the perfect things.  He asked me to go get my ring finger sized because I think he's going to get me a new ring!  The wedding ring I have is broke :(  Anyway my ring finger went from being a size 10 a month ago to a 8.5 this month!  I went to Deb's to try on some pants because the ones I have now are starting to fall off!!  The pants I have now are a size 11.  I was able to get a size 9 on and zipped and buckled but they were just a little tight.  So I am hoping in the next couple weeks I can go back and buy that size 9!
I found a lunch that I just love!  I love taking whole grain rice, a sliver of Weight Watchers White cheddar cheese and adding some salsa to it!  It tastes amazing with the cheese melted into the rice and topped with salsa!  Wish I had a picture to show you all but I don't!
I received my first product to review for this portion of my blog so be sure to stay tuned to see what it is and what I think of it!  
My personal goals for this week are:
1. Get back to eating more fruits and veggies again

2. Start exercising again now that I am starting to feel better
3. Start drinking more water

Check back soon for more updates!  I love hearing from you all!  I feel like I have the world's biggest support system!  Thank you all for your amazing words of encouragement!

      You can do it though! It's always to have goals for yourself! I find if I set smaller goals for myself I tend to follow through on them and then it motivates me to succeed at my other goals!

    It sounds like your getting over that .8 and I hope you keep being kind to yourself. That .8 is not worth the stress!

    That is fantastic. I hope to get started on a goal soon. If I loose about 30 pounds I'd be thrilled. Good luck on your journey!
