Feeling inspired!!

February 28, 2012

WOW!!! I lost the 0.2 that I gained from last week. I am happy about that. Even though both Joel and I thought for sure that I would have lost more since I am more active but a loss is a step in the right direction. That’s for sure!

This weekend was great!

On Friday, even though I had planned on getting a manicure, it didn’t happen. I drove to the place that I was going to go to right after work but I couldn’t find parking in their parking lot or in the two surrounding streets. So I ended up just driving home and waiting for the family to get home from their outing that afternoon. Then it was dinner at my mom’s house because Joel
had a gathering with some co-workers that night and it was just a girls’ night in. I hung out with Mayalis and it was so nice! I went to bed around midnight.

On Saturday, I had a full day ahead of me. I woke up early, and got myself all ready long before Mayalis was awake. Joel worked that morning so he was gone early. Mayalis and I had breakfast and we were out the door with my mom later.

I had my make-up appointment at 3pm so I made sure to have some lunch prior to that. And can I tell you that I loved being pawed all over for my make-up consultation! It took him an hour to do it because he said that he wanted to make sure that it was “perfect”! LOL!! I loved it all!

After the hour, we were done and onto finishing up my errands. I finally found an outfit that I loved –just forgot about getting some dressy pants for the occasion –but the top was great! I cannot wait to wear it again!

Saturday night was awesome! We had dinner and it was so yummy! Even though I went over my daily points, my activity points kicked in and I even earned ADDITIONAL activity points for all the dancing that I did that night! I believe that I earned an additional 10 points for just the dancing alone! I didn’t even count all the walking I did during the day that earned me another 18 points!

Then it was family funday on Sunday! We went to the aquarium for the first time as a family. It was a blast… and all that walking earned me another 10 activity points! I was on a roll earning activity points.

In total for just Saturday and Sunday, I earned 38 points! And for the whole week, I earned a WHOPPING 59 activity points!!! I don’t think that I will be breaking that anytime soon, but my goal is to have at least 30 activity points a week, above the suggested 14 points a week.

After going to the gym and last night’s meeting, I was struck with some lightening in my soul. I know that I didn’t lose a lot (there were TWO great 5 pound losses at the meeting!) but it inspired me to get to that huge loss streak that I want to get to.

I know that I didn’t make it to my double digit loss for this month, and there is no one to blame but myself. I am getting off track and I can’t do that if I want to gain my self-confidence and look better for myself.

So with March just around the corner, I have that goal set inside of me more than ever! I want to see a bigger difference in my face… in my body… in my attitude! I have the tools to do it… so what am I waiting for?!?!

Tonight’s gym schedule will be the treadmill the the elliptical and work on my abs. So on top of the already 11 activity points that I have earned from last night’s gym session, I will be earning even more! Just need to plan on Wednesday’s session and see what I do on Thursday too! YIPPEE!!!

I am so going to do this for myself… Just like they said last night at the meeting… If you would started when you thought about it, you would have been done by now.

And that’s where I want to be… Done by now!
