One-der-land

Today was weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I am happy to say that I have reached my goal for the month of October. I am now 198.6 pounds, that is 11.6 pounds lost in 6 weeks.

I am so happy and excited. I am no longer in the 200 pound range and I can safely say I will never see that number again. I am still not doing well in the working out department. But I am trying to incorporate it into my day. Like, last weekend we were stuck in traffic and instead of staying in the car, I got out of the car and walked the 3 miles to our destination. While doing building inspections at my job, instead of taking the elevator I took the stairs. I walked up and down 26 flights of stairs! What I noticed and was most amazed about is that I was not out of breath! By the end of it I was exhausted, but I was able to do it with out a problem.

Tomorrow is November and since I reached my goal in October it is time to set my new monthly goal. By November 28th (last weigh in date before December) I want to have reached 194 pounds. I think that a pound a week is very doable and healthy weight loss. My other goal is to at least work out 3 times a week.

I also have a recipe for you guys this weekend.
