It has been far too long since I have updated here, and I truthfully regret that. The past couple of weeks have been a complete whirlwind, and I have been very busy with this crazy thing called life. Today was my first deadline to reach a weight loss goal. It has been fourteen weeks since I started this journey, and I am very proud to say that I was able to meet my goal. I went to a tattoo shop a few weeks ago and was told that I could get both the tattoo on my neck (my first reward), and the one on my foot (meant to be my second) for $70. I was very excited about that number, however I don't have funds right now, so I will be holding off on getting my tattoos for the time being.
I weighed in today at 219.6 lbs. I'm not so happy with that number, considering that's exactly where I was the last time I posted (over a month ago). In the last two weeks I've gained almost four pounds, which doesn't sound that awful, but knowing that I've set myself back a month it sure feels that way. I guess it could be worse. I'm actually kind of surprised that I didn't gain more weight considering how terribly I have been eating and how inconsistent my workouts have been. I promised myself that today I would get back on track with my "diet", however I didn't quite eat as well as I should have. I did track my food and exercise with Weight Watchers, which I have been neglecting the past few weeks. I have already used almost all of my weekly "bonus" points, but at least I didn't go over. The rest of the week I will have to stay right on target so that I can start losing weight again. As long as I am able to get back on track I should be set up to meet my next goal of 200 pounds by mid August (almost a month ahead of schedule). I don't feel as confident as I have in the past about my journey, but I know that once I get back into the swing of things that will change. I just have to do my best to keep moving forward and keep my faith strong.
Here is a picture of me from today. I'm tanner now, and I have a scar that I don't think will ever go away, but I guess that's okay. Other than that I doubt I look much different than my last post.
