End of week 4 and beginning of week 5!

Well, week 4 didn't end as good as I wanted it to be.  I weighed in at -2, so I lost 2 lbs in week 4.  Losing 3 1/2 lbs the week before really made it challenging, because I was hoping to lose close to that again.  I did A LOT of exercising last week, but then again over the weekend I did eat TWO icecream cones!  I also ate some not so great stuff at Arts Fest (oops), but atleast I still lost weight!  That's the most important thing!  Even though I allowed myself to indulge in some fatty foods, I still worked hard exercising and still lost weight. 

So far, my total weight loss is 10 1/2 lbs!  I'm really really excited about this!  In 4 weeks I've lost 10 1/2 lbs!  That's a HUGE accomplishment for myself!  I have tried diets before, and I have tried excercising, but I have never lost this much weight on any other program.  Weight Watchers has really opened my eyes to how much crap I have fed myself in the past, as well as how very badly I needed to kick my butt into gear and start making healthier choices for myself.  I never ever though I would have the motivation to get on a treadmill and jog, or go walk/jog up and down the fields out back, or do Zumba 3 days a week for an hour long.  I have so much more energy now than I used to, and most importantly, I have motivation!!!  I'm very proud of my self, and I just pray every day that I don't lose this motivation. 

Week 5 started today, and so far I have walked a little over a mile, jogged and walked the fields out back for half an hour, as well as went to Zumba.  Each week I've been trying to take pictures of myself to see difference, and I'm starting to physcially see subtle differences from when I first started until now.  I can feel the weight loss mostly in my clothing.  I've probably dropped a pants size or two so far because pants that used to be too tight for me to wear are now loose on me!  That's an awesome feeling, putting on a pair of pants you've stashed away because they didn't fit, to trying them on and needing to tighten the belt a couple notches just to keep them from falling!  Shirts are much looser now too!  :)  It all makes me very very happy! 

I go to the beach in 2 weeks, and my goal is to lose 14 lbs before we leave.  That means I need to lose 4 lbs in the next 2 weeks!  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!!
