A pleasant surprise…
General January 5th, 2009So today was my first day of weighing myself on my new scale!! I did it this morning before I got dressed and it was 202.8!! Remember the other day when I did it, the scale read 206. Of course I was fully clothed and I really don’t think I lost 4lbs this weekend alone. SO… I am going to change my OFFICIAL STARTING WEIGHT OF 2009 to 202.8!! Which of course changes my goal to 182.8, but we’ll round down to an even 180 by March. The beginning of March would be nice, but I’ll take the end as well.
Thank you Feathers, for asking about my weekend and keeping me on track. Um, no, I really didn’t stick to plan because I didn’t get to the store until about 4:30 last night. But since i overindulged at lunch, I stuck to a bowl of cereal for dinner. And I didn’t snack as much yesterday. I did exercise every day though, so that helped.
I am ready steady today! I am eating my oatbran with blueberries for breakfast and I have grabthebull’s Chicken Taco Salad for lunch along with some clementines and yogurt. Dinner is going to be Cheesy Lentil and Barley Casserole, and I plan on doing a 3 mile run with my friend tonight. I’m going to bike to her house as well to get some more mileage in my 1000 miles in 2009 challenge!!
UPDATE: my friend and I ran 3 miles!! I have to say, it was tough! We did intervals though - ran 8 minutes, walked 2. We did about 4 cycles of this. Took about 40 minutes. I also biked to and from her house and that was 3.35 miles round trip. WOO HOO!! 6.35 miles closer to 1000 miles! My ticker is on my facebook page for those of you who are on facebook. Calories for the day is 1355. The Cheesy Barley-Lentil Casserol was REALLY good. I’ll post the recipe sometime this week.

You’re having my crack salad for lunch, eh? I’m jelly. Are you making the casserole for dinner? If so, please post the recipe.
That’s AWESOME that you got to cut your starting weight! You go, girl. I, on the other hand, had to raise mine by 2 lbs. It’s that very berry pie. Damn pie!

Great job getting the exercise in! Having that longterm goal and watching the ticker move is VERY motivating, is it not?
And yay for the new scale, w00t! That’s awesome!
