Disappointing.

Today was my first weigh in of my second year. I did a wonderful job this week, my average calorie intake was 1650 and I worked out 5 out of 6 days. I was really excited and was newly motivated. Unfortunatly my enthusiasm  didn't shine through on the scale. I only lost half a pound. I was so mad I smacked the wall. I calmed down and realized I have had dozons of weeks like this one. I lost 2 pounds each for the past 2 weeks. I should have expected a disappointing week coming. All I can do is look forward to next week. I set a 2 pound loss for my next weigh in on March 3rd. I know everything will work out, just need to keep a level head, stay calm, and work hard.

I have been watching Ruby on netflix. She is a women who weighed 716 pounds at her heaviest, her show is about her weight loss journey and let me tell you, it is one of the most motivating shows I have ever watched. It differs from shows like the biggest loser because she is doing it on her own. She has lost over 340 pounds! Season 2 ended with her at 357 pounds. I beleive the 3rd season starts in the beginging of March. I cannot wait to watch it. In one of the episodes I saw that she had a weigh in chart. I thought it was a great motivational tool. I made one of my own and hung it on the back of my bedroom door. I have a date, weight, loss from that week, and mood colum. It's a great reminder every morning to stay focused and work hard for the next week. The show is wonderful and anyone who is losing weight I feel will benefit from watching her amazing journey, it's super inpirational.

School is really rough right now. Mid terms are already here. I can't believe it! I feel like this semester just started. Im drowning in homework and online class work. This weekend I need to really focus and get all my work done. I need to make sure I keep my stress levels low because I really, really want to lose this next 42 pounds as easily as possible, and stress will make it 100 times harder than it needs to be.

My motivational words for this week "it'll happen, just be confident." Thanks Joe!
