Oh happy day!

So, I used to dread these days, how much weight have I gained? How much did I lose, how is this possible? Why me? Now, now I love weigh in days. I have got to STOP looking at the damn scale all the time though. I'll get better. I promise. I had a bad day yesterday. It started out OK, but when I was hungry, I munched popcorn and the day went down hill from there - I ended up with a bad taste in my mouth, and ate a pickle to make it go away, and then some cheezits and we finally ate dinner and I couldn't tell if I was hungry or not, and the whole night I couldn't tell and I still ate dinner and some more later too. So, back on the wagon today, again. I love this program, because I can eat anything I want, because I can't fail, and because you can jump right back. With Weight Watchers if you had a bad day, you'd lose all your points and be unable to think about anything but food and be full of guilt and mad at yourself. I am a bit upset, and I knew better, but I don't feel guilty and that I need to just stop, because I'm not on a diet. I'm changing my lifestyle habits.

Anyway, here we go:

Weight - 268.2lbs
Waist - 43 1/2"
Belly - 47"
Hips - 53 1/2"

Total loss this week: 3.4lbs, 3"

Total loss since 3/24: 9.2lbs, 5"

Now, I need to up my excercise, I'm going to try to walk at least 5 times this week at least 15mins. I know it's not alot, but I need to go slow, or I am going to fail the excercise bit at least right now. I know walking isn't good if it is slow, but I have to go slow right now, or my back and feet will protest and I'll be unable to do it at all. Any movement is better than no movement. I'm also doing small things, 20 "against the wall push ups" which help with upper body toning; ab crunches, which just involve sucking in my abs and holding and then letting go. The walking will help tone my legs, but I could also do some kicks and I'm going to do some biceps as well. I don't just want to be thin. I want to be healthy, fit, and strong.
