Weigh-In Day, Week 5

Okay, here are the results from this week's weigh-in...

Starting weight: 270
Current weight: 258.8
Total pounds lost: 11.2

I am super excited right now.  And proud.  And that much more motivated to keep going.  Not only did I hit my first 10 pound goal this week but I also broke out of the 260's.  I am finally in the 250's, which I haven't been in since who knows when.  I've been following the same formula: tracking my food intake using the Weight Watchers point system, working out twice a week with my trainer, doing cardio on my off days from my trainer, and taking as many classes as the gym as possible.  Now, I don't want to make it seem like my formula is fool proof, because it definitely isn't.  On Saturday and Sunday I had ginormous pieces of cake.  It was delicious, but there was a voice inside my head reminding me that I would have to work that much harder this week to burn off those extra calories.  I also skipped out on the gym twice this week on days that I normally go, but to make up for it I went an extra hour on the days that I did end up going.  My life is crazy right now and I am going through a lot of big changes.  I know that my life isn't always going to be scheduloed out and planned out to a T, but, just as I did this week, as long as I can adapt and make good choices in the long run I am positive that I can keep moving forward in a healthy direction.
