24

So I haven't updated for awhile, because I haven't been losing. A couple of weekends ago, I went to visit my brother at college. And I basically made the decision to just not worry about my diet, because it's impossible when you eat out for every meal for 2.5 days. Needless to say, that week, I did not lose any weight (but I didn't gain either!) And then the next weekend was Easter, and I threw that all out the window, like... three days before Easter. But that week I only gained .2 pounds.

So this week I decided to get back in the game, and I only really did bad on Saturday. Like real bad. But only one day, which is better than 3 days. Anyway, so I did really good Sunday and yesterday, and it paid off during the weigh-in. I wanted to lose 2.2 pounds, because that would mean I had lost 10% of my starting weight (which would be 22.8 pounds) and I actually lost 3.4 pounds, which I was NOT expecting, so I've lost 24 pounds exactly!

I am very excited and I really want to lose at least 3.8 pounds this upcoming week, because then I will be meeting the first personal goal I set for myself. The 10% goal was a Weight Watchers thing. So anyway... I am going to try and work my tail off... literally, and try to lose that 3.8 pounds. I know I probably won't, because that would be my biggest weight loss in a week since the very first week. So I won't be disappointed, that just means it will take me two weeks. But I am SO CLOSE to that first goal and I really want. So I am going to work my buttocks off. :)

Also -- my dear friendcousins, Hannah and Daniel, joined Weight Watchers 8 days ago and have already lost 9 pounds between them! So now it's like a big support network and it's awesome. I am very excited for all of us. And it's so much easier to do it with a team. TEAMWORK!

Then, to top it all off, today I went and got my haircut. I've been wanting to go short for awhile and it's exactly what I wanted, so I am very happy. I feel like I am starting to LOOK like how I see myself. Does that make sense? I am starting to reflect my inner-self on the outside.

Anyway. Gotta go watch my TV show so I can get to bed. Here's a -24/new haircut pic! :)
