Lisa and I are going to go for a walk at 8am tomorrow. I'll leave from there and go to the 9am WW meeting. If I'm up to it, after that I'll stop by Target and pick up the groceries. I didn't realize that we are completly out of fruit. I didn't get to have my apple tonight. I don't know if I'll get too sore from sitting at the meeting. I may have to go home and go grocery shopping later. I'll try to do it right away though so I don't have to do it in the middle of the day. We're not going to Denver so at least I don't have to worry about that. I won't have a banana for breakfast so I'll wait to have breakfast after I get home from the store. I'm glad I have committed to walking in the morning because now I know I'll definitely go. I'll feel better knowing that I have walked. I'll also get some activity from going to the store. If I can remember I'll wear my pedometer tomorrow to see how many steps I actually get. That would be interesting.
I know if I can get myself out there consistently walking I will be more excited about doing the WW plan and losing weight. Walking should help me to lose more weight and get me motivated. I just have to get out there. I need to tell myself that I'll get out there those 3 days a week and commit to that. I'll already be out because I'll be dropping Bayou off at daycare so getting there won't be such a big issue. I'll need to get to bed early though and not stay up if I get up in the middle of the night. I'm so tired when I drop Bayou off that all I can think about it getting home and going back to bed. I can always sleep after I get back home after my walk. I can shower after my morning nap. I have to remember to take my allergy medicine though before I go for a walk. I forgot this last time I walked. Thankfully it wasn't too bad but it's better if I take the allergy medicine. Of course I have to stop taking the allergy medicine as of Tuesday because the following Tuesday I have allergy testing. I don't know how I'm going to get back without allergy medicine for a week. I guess I'll just be blowing my nose a lot. LOL It will be nice to find out what I'm allergic to though.
I'm hoping that I will reach the 20 lbs lost mark this coming Wednesday. I should be able to do it if I can get out there and walk and watch what I eat. I'd like to have something to snack on tonight but since there's not fruit I won't have anything. Being more active and eating better will certainly help me to lose more weight. I'd like to see myself lose at least 2 lbs a week. That's a lot but I think it's possible since I weigh so much. I wanted to try to lose 8 lbs a month this summer but I'm not starting off very good so far this month. That's okay though, it's just a goal to shoot for not something I'm going to beat myself up about if I don't do it. I actually have 10 goals for the summer. I'm not sure I'll meet most of them but at least I have something to work toward. My goal for walking is to walk at least once every 2 weeks. I know that's not a lot but for me that's realistic. If I do more, then great, if not then if I can at least do once every 2 weeks I'll be meeting my goal. I want to start getting in the pool too but haven't done that yet. I still have to look for those swin trunks. LOL I don't know why I have such a mental block about doing that. I guess if I don't find them I don't have to think about going to the pool. Again, a commitment issue.
I hope Dori is leading the WW meeting next week when I make the 20 lbs lost mark. She gets everyone excited for the awards. I only have to lose .2 lbs so I should be able to make it. It will be a disappointment if I don't lose the only .2 that I need to lose. I know it will come eventually though. I'm looking forward to that 5 lb star. Then I need to work towards 25 lbs lost. I hope they give out the 25 lb charm for that. Even though it just looks like a washer I know it will mean a lot to me. I have my 16 week charm too but will have to wait until I lose 10% to put them on the keychain charm. Until then I'll keep them in my wallet. If I go every week until the end of August I'll get another 16 week charm. If I can really get motivated to lose weight I could be at the 50 lbs lost mark by the fall. I'm not going to set myself up to fail though. Again, it's just a goal to work toward. I'd love to lose a lot of weight over the summer and go into the fall being lighter than I am now. I want to look like I've lost weight. Right now I can feel a difference but it's not apparent that I've lost 20 lbs because I'm still so big. Looking like I've lost weight will come eventually though.
Soon the pants I'm wearing are going to be too big. I'll have to get a smaller size which will be nice. In the mean time though they feel loose and I have to hike them up while walking. That's not a bad thing but because they don't have drawstrings I can't keep them up as easily. I'll still have to get a big size when I get my next ones but as long as they are smaller than what I have now I'll be doing okay. I order them from JMS (Just My Size) so I can get them whenever I need them. I should get a pair of 3x's now so I can see how they fit. I'll fit into them soon enough. They might be more fitted than I like right now but it would be better than them hanging off of me like they are now. I'll have to check to be sure that they still have them at JMS. Just checked JMS and they don't have them anymore. Now what will I do? I can't find any other place that has them. That really stinks. I'm so used to wearing these. I don't know where else to look . I guess I'll have to see if Walmart has anything. That's where I found the JMS pants in the first place. Now I'll have to find something else. These pants would be okay if they had the drawstring but I cut them out of all of them (3 pair). Rats!
Okay, that's it for now. I'm going to have to do some searching for some pants I can get. Ugh!
