Sorry I have not updated in a week. School just started and I have been trying to stay on track of school work before it piles up on me. Last week I completely forgot Tuesday that my meeting was the next day. Normally I try to eat light on the day before my meetings, but since I forgot about my meeting I ate pretty bad the night before. Therefore it affected my weigh in and I gained .6 that week. But I did not let that get me down, I got right back on track. I have been slacking with calculating my points lately, I have been guessing on most days. This week I got back to tracking everything. My aunt started weightwatchers last week so she had me over for dinner to try out some things she had cooked from the weightwatchers recipes. She gave me some things to take home to try throughout the week and they have been amazing! This week I lost 4.2 lbs for a total of 18 lbs! However, it gets even better. I had lost weight before I started weightwatchers, Im not sure how I did it but I did, and now I am at a total of 27 lbs lost!!! :) I am so excited and so motivated.

Holiday update
Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. It's been a crazy month since the last time I posted. Last time I updated I had lost 4.2 for a total of 9, well now I am at a loss of 14.4 :) I'm going to try to break it down by weeks but I don't know how good my memory will be, well see. hah
The week of December 8 I lost 3lbs for a total of 12. I reached my 5% goal and could not have been happier! That was the first time I saw a 1 at the beginning of my weight in years. I actually cried at the meeting when I saw the number. I was so happy and couldn't believe that that was MY weight and I had accomplished that. It felt so good! Amanda treated me to Izzo's as my treat. I also bought a new pair of jeans, a size down :)
The following week, the week of December 15 I was in Mobile for the week at a friend's house. I went grocery shopping and planned my meals out, but we still ate out a few times. Also, I went from working out every day of the week to about 2 times that week I was there. I was gone for a little over a week (Dec. 11- Dec. 21) so that was a big difference for me. It was a very lazy week and I pretty much just lounged around the entire week. Needless to say I gained 3 lbs that week, which was exactly what I lost the week before.
Then I was home for 5 days (Christmas included in those 5 days). That was tough but I was determined to do better before I left for my next trip to Nashville. I closely watched what I ate and exercised everyday knowing I was going to be gone another week with no exercise. While in Nashville we had to walk everywhere we went so that helped out a lot. I didn't have food on me to constantly munch on so it was pretty much just my meals I ate. I lost what I gained the week before and a little more. I lost 3.8 lbs for a total of 12.8.
Our room was on the 23 floor so one day a few friends and myself decided to take the stairs to see if we could make it. I made it to either the 10th or 11th floor and then took the elevator. The next day I took the stairs to go down twice that day. My calf muscles were sore for days after, but it felt good to have been able to do that. It was harder than I expected it to be.
Coming off of all of my vacations I was so happy to be back at home and able to go grocery shopping and not have to eat out. I was also so excited to be able to exercise everyday. I lost 1.6 this week for a total of 14.4 lbs. It's amazing the difference I can feel. I finally was able to notice the loss when I looked at a picture this weekend. I have been able to feel a difference but I couldn't so much see it. Now that I can see it I am motivated to keep going stronger. The new pair of jeans that I told yall about at the beginning of this message are now getting loose on me. I was able to take them off the other night without unbuttoning them. Now if that is not motivation I don't know what is! Im already down one size and about to be down another, I'm so excited!
I have been running about 5 days a week. I want to run the Crescent City Classic again this year. Last year when I did it I ran every other mile for a total of 3 miles. My goal this year is to run the entire 6.2 miles! I am so excited about this and I am right on track with the training schedule.
Sorry for the delay in updates. Now that I am all caught up I can go back to my weekly updates. Thanks for all of the encouragement and support that yall give me. When I get accountability, encouragement, compliments, etc from people I get excited and it keeps me going stronger. I love you guys so much!
