Mia's WW Day - 10% Plus Met, New Goal Set

Boy I missed so, so, many blogs!!! I have gone back and commented on some. I DID IT!!! Finally, after years of not consistant, determined attempts I finally got rid of 10% of my body weight!!! I finally got my 16 weeks charm and key chain from WW. Thanks, Mom and Dad too for my other gift you have been holding onto for years. I promise to keep the weight off forever!!!

Now, what happened was this...I was up this past Monday morning a bit so I was really careful during the week (did I tell you I had 1 sl. of free pizza after my 5K race!!!). But Tuesday night I did go out and have 2 glasses of wine and a healthy dinner of salmon with beans and escarole(sp???) - took some home. I decided to change my workout schedule a bit this week (I rested on Monday but ran Tues, Wed, Thurs - so my weeks running of 14 miles was done before WW). I am behind one mile of running for this week because of a busy schedule and I'm not going to worry about it. Today, I ran 5 miles after work around the hospital grounds in order to get the mileage in and go to WW on time. This morning on my home scale I was down by one pound. So I was thinking maybe I would lose a pound at WW but may not have reached my 10% goal - I was ready for that. I had a busy work day and did not have lunch. I went to Yorktown to weight in and since they are on a lower latitude than Bethel, CT maybe that is why the scale said I lost 5.8 pounds since last Thursday!!! I don't believe 5.8 pounds...but I'm sure it was one or two. So I'll take it and work just as hard and continue to lose more weight. In order to do this I have lowered my Daily Point Target by another point and I must continually track. I have to go to WW one day early next week because we are going away. Thank you Elizabeth for encouraging me to train for the 1/2 marathon and get serious about getting in shape!!!

I have no pictures to show like Elizabeth but.... go to www.capstonephoto.com then click on Stratton Faxon Danbury 1/2 Marathon April 11, 2010 then type in bib# 1162 and Lofgren. I am the only one wearing a fleece vest. My pockets are full of keys and my phone. I am walking with my friend Ann. I was walking her to her finish line after I already finished. Bad pictures of my thighs!!! Still have work to do!!!
