First Weigh In

Well I finally got to have my first official weigh in (after 3 weeks). The scale showed 17 pounds lost. I am very happy with that.

I have my appointment with Matt the trainer on Monday and I am very much looking forward to it. I want to step my workout up a few notches. I am very comfortable on the bike. I push myself pretty hard but the calories burned don't seem to add up that fast. I am looking for a little more.

I not only want to lose weight but I want to get into shape. I am going to run the 5k this summer. I have decided that it isn't a goal that I hope to acheive, it is something that is going to happen.

I am very proud of everyone in the program. Everyone is working so hard on everything. Everyone seems to be getting along so well. I am glad there isn't the drama that there is on the TV show. I haven't seen anyone yelling or crying yet. I think that if we all keep supporting each other then we will all succeed. There are going to be times when we all are going to struggle and if we can keep supporting each other then we will all reach our goals. We are all making progress.

Thank you everyone for the kind words tonight. I'm sorry that I missed last week and let the team get so far behind but we are gaining. Slow and steady wins the race (an old turtle told me that or maybe I was just delusional from hunger).
