168.6

This week I lost 2 pounds! My current weight is 168.6!  I really thought this was going to be a bad week--I went out to dinner twice and we had friends over for a less-then-healthy dinner over the weekend.  I went over my points allowance by 14 points last week, but I did earn 9 activity points.  This week I want to stay within my weekly points and also keep up with my exercising.  9 points earns me $22.50.

Tomorrow I am applying for the gym membership that is covered for 3 months by my insurance.  If they accept me into the program I would like to start either Feb. 27th or March 1st, after I get back from the cruise.  I don't want to start off the program by missing a week.

For the first time I can really see myself seeing this through.  I've had 3 weeks of success and am excited to continue.  I've managed to lose weight even when I am not in full control of my diet.  I found out EJ and I will be going to the beach this summer and it is fueling my fire even more--I want to wear a bikini.  And what's even more, I think I can get there! It's always felt impossible.

I looked up a BMI calculator today to make sure my goal of 135 pounds is a healthy goal, and it looks like it is.  I also found out that I am very close to getting out of the "overweight" range!  164 is now a mini-goal-weight I am looking forward to.
