Not a win, Not a loss

So...I didn't lose anything this week but I didn't gain anything either. I am super frustrated being so close to my 5% goal and not reaching it. I really wanted to stamp my feet when the numbers came up on the scale. No matter what I know (I've lost every week for seven weeks) I am still frustrated and really working on not going crazy about it!

Naturally I have been thinking all day about what I can do to make the difference that I want to make. One thing I thought about was how I ate a lot more of my weekly allowance points because I increased my exercise (I have 44 daily points and then an additional 49 weekly allowance points that I can eat.) It seems to me that, for my body, the points are not equal in the exchange so I am going to stay within my daily points this week and see what happens! I have also purchased a Weight Watchers pedometer that will give me accurate activity points. Fingers crossed!

My clothes are fitting better and better every day. I haven't re-measured yet but I am pretty darn sure that I've lost more inches. My t-shirts have been dwindling daily as I get rid of the clothes that are too big for me. Some serious shopping is in my near future :)

I don't think I mentioned this before but I am walking a 5K on June 11 and I would love some company. You can register by clicking this link for the Henry Coe 5K Walk. The walk is fairly easy, through a meadow, and you get a cool t-shirt! Let me know if you register!!! This walk is my way of motivating myself to exercise and it's also a great way for me to get in some socializing as I train for this walk. I also want to do a 10K in the fall so get ready for that!!!!

Goals for this week:

1. Go for at least two 2 mile walks- 4/8 with Kaija, 4/11 with Kathi
2. Lose 2 pounds
3. Do two arm workouts
4. Stick to just the daily allotted points (I will allow myself 5 allowance points if I really need them)
5. Make a new list of successes and healthy changes I've made
