Weekly Weigh In.

This week's weigh in was 170.  My personal low was 158, achieved last spring right before we moved.  I was at least 160 before we got here and the weight just came up.  I also didn't workout for most of December because of my arm (I'm pretty sure I tore my rotator cuff, but after a month of Alieve and rest it's doing much better).

My goal is to be a size 8, and I figure that means I need to lose 20-30 pounds.  Honestly, for once I do think that exercise at least makes your body a bit more trim.  I've noticed that jeans aren't fitting as well, even though I am the same weight I was when I bought them.  I'm just not working out, things are sagging.

There was a point in my life that I would've called myself super fit.  I was doing hour routines and really busting a move in the AM and continuing it all day long.

I'm not there anymore, not even close.

I'm actually looking for some easier routines.  I'm not doing much weights with my arm yet, just movement.  I need to take a peek onto Netflix, but please let me know what you'd recommend.  My plan is 2 days/week of weights and cardio (workout videos) and 1 day a week of Yoga (I hate it  but it's so good for us, isn't that the way?).  Plus at least one nice long walk/week with a friend and then one dance party with the wii/week.  I'd also like to just be more active with my family, besides the things I'm just doing myself.  this area has a ton of great hikes.  I need to get on those.

Plus weight watchers.  Starting tomorrow. :)

Won't you come with me?  I'd love to do a weekly weigh in post where you can either link to your own blogs with weigh ins, or just comment here.  I'd thought of doing a WW email chain where we can weigh in together, but that's a lot of effort and I always worry people feel like they're getting spammed by my inadequacies.

One thing I do know, writing on a blog has helped me lose weight.  I feel some minuscule of obligation by having it.  I feel like I need to report.

So, if you want to lose weight, come write with me.  It's cathartic and it's nice to have people applaud you.  Anyone who wants to write on the blog is welcome.  Just email me. :)  Link's on the side.
