September Goals and 1st weigh in.

September is a pretty important month for me. More specifically the first week in September is very significant.
Its three years this week that I embarked on the biggest change of my adult life: I walked into the Weight Watchers class that helped transform my life for the better.

This month I really don't want to set unobtainable goals that are impossible to achieve. My goal this month is to loose 4lbs. That averages at 1lb a week, completely attainable. Anymore than that I will welcome but right now that 4lb goal I am happy with.

This morning I had my weekly weigh in and for the first time in a very long time I hand on my heart had no idea what the scales would show as I had hubby hide my batteries for my scales. I was stressing my self out too much and became obsessed with weighing myself two or three times a day. Not healthy. Over the past 4 weeks I had lost only 2lbs (main reason this months goal is 4lbs!) even though I had tracked and been good I really hit a brick wall so went today expecting much of the same. I got on the scales and as my leader turned the scales round I saw 10st6.5lbs! My mind was trying to do the maths, while I knew it was more than the half a pound I was expecting I was just stunned. 2.5lbs!! TWO AND A HALF POUNDS off in one week!! That is the most I have lost in one week in 3 months!!

I am elated, I am hoping that is the end of my bodies plateau and we can get back on the train to goal. It just shows even when things get hard and you keep at it things will start moving again eventually!

So after my first week in September I am already half way through my goal. I am not counting chickens just yet as the half a pound looses may come back to bite me in the butt yet haha.
