Hey All... So this week really has not been my week. As I mentioned on Tuesday, the new shoes were causing me a great deal of pain and while I was able to take Wednesday off to heal, I wasn't able to go for a run yesterday. Turns out that sometime this week I caught a cold from someone (I am guessing my husband) and I figured it would taper off after a couple of days, but it is only getting worse.
On top of feeling crappy for most of the week, I was also up a pound in Weight Watchers. Which in a sense is not huge deal because of how busy I was last weekend, but it's still very frustrating. The only good thing that came out of the pound gain is the fact that I finally broke the threshold I have been stuck in for 7 weeks. Since March I have been stuck between 170-171 pounds. One week I'd lose .2, the next I'd gain .6, the next I'd lose .4, etc. It was really getting old and I was about ready to drop out of Weight Watchers because it was becoming a waste of my time. I know, I know, Negative Nancy right?
Well when I weighed in on Wednesday I was up 1 pound which put me at 171.2! And honestly I could not have been happier. I swear my brain was just keeping me between 170-171 to mess with me. But now that I have broken that barrier (even by going up) I honestly think my brain will reset and I can get back on track.
A few weeks ago I set a mini goal for myself and right now I am no where near reaching that goal. In about 10 weeks I will be standing up in a wedding and my goal was to be down 15 pounds before her wedding. Since I set that goal I haven't lost any weight. I know that it's only been a few weeks, so I am going to give myself a break but I really need to start seeing a loss here pretty soon.
A while back I was chatting with my girl friend about where she buys here jeans (because her jeans ALWAYS fit her perfectly) and she recommended that I check out Buckle. However, she did forewarn me that they are a bit expensive. So Wednesday I decided to check them out and I found a pair of jeans that I REALLY like. Here's a picture:
These jeans fit me to the t and I am in love, but I am not in love with the price tag. Luckily for me, they do layaway so Thursday I went in and put $25 down on the jeans. I think this will give me a little more incentive to work my rear end off to lose weight. I will not be allowed to wear these jeans until I lose 5 pounds. Seems simple enough to me!
On a different note, I wanted to share my water bottle with everyone. This is what my water bottle looks like:
I absolutely LOVE this water bottle. It's a self-filtering water bottle and it tastes absolutely wonderful. The way it works is this: you fill the water bottle and you drink it. The water is filtered on its way out of the mouth piece and it is super easy to clean as well. I also love that it helped me significantly reduce my amount of waste. On an average day I could easily go through two or three water bottles and by using this water bottle I only go through one filter every three months and the filters are recyclable. Totally worth every penny.
Well I am off to get a mani/pedi with my mom for her birthday. I will hopefully be able to post about a run tomorrow! Either way, I will be posting with an update.
Thanks for checking in and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend.
Over and Out.
