Week two of my contract for weight-loss has come and gone. Weigh-in was tonight at my local Weight Watchers center. But before I get to the weigh-in results, let me describe the progress made.
Eating was spot-on. Made good choices, didn't feel deprived due to some small, judicious treats. Stayed within my points and avoided late-night eating altogether. Also avoided at-work eating except for what I brought each day.
The weigh-in results? 2.2 lb loss. I am yet again nearing ONE-derland (for those not in the know, that would mean that my weight begins with a ONE). I am currently at 203.8. 199.8 is within reach, though a stretch, for this week, but certainly the following week, assuming I remain consistent.
Frank Tibolt is credited with saying,
"We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action."
To me, these are very true words. I cannot say that I was "inspired" to lose weight a few weeks ago. My actions at the time (inactivity, over-eating) proved that. But still, I had to make a choice. I took a bold step. That step that I took has resulted in an amazing level of inspiration and motivation in me and it has begun to snowball. I am as gung-ho right now as I was week 3 of my original weight-watchers start. Each day I view as another opportunity to make healthy choices, live right and drop some additional weight!
Here we go...WEEK 3! Let's ROCK IT!
