weigh-in Day...

Thursday is my weigh-in day. That means today was the first weigh-in of the year for me.
Ok.....here it goes.......I lost 2.4 pounds this week! I am so happy about that.
In the back of my mind it keeps saying "So what if you lost 2.4 pounds, they are pounds that you gained over Christmas...that doesn't count!" But, I'm fighting against that thought. I lost 2.4 pounds this week and I am going to be happy about it!!!

My goals for this year are to get back to basics and do what has worked for me to lose the 75 pounds that I have lost. So I have been doing good so far. Tonight I got in two hours of karate. Karate is getting a bit more intense again now that we have learned some new black belt moves to practice and work hard at it. It feels so good to work hard at it but, it also comes with a few bruises. My arms are sore tonight. I had a planned high calorie day today so my eating was not all that healthy. And I could have done better at drinking my water but I did get in 7 cups. Tomorrow is a new day and I will do good. I'm going shopping....I need to remember to take my pedometer.

I have been struggling with some things lately. One thing is getting time to take care of myself. Taking the time to exercise and get enough sleep and blog. If I stay up to blog or exercise then I don't get enough sleep and then I sleep-in in the morning if I don't have somewhere to go. But, then I don't get the things around the house done that need to get done and I'm stuck in a time crunch again and stay up late to get the things done. When the time runs out and I'm too tired to do any more it is always blogging or exercise that gets left out. It's so late right now I can't even think about how to work this out. And I know I have to get up in 6 hours. Ok......I just needed to get it out and I will work on it another day when I can actually think straight, right now I think I better get some sleep I have things to do tomorrow.

Have a happy healthy day.
