A week into phase three...

I have no clue what to title this because this is my third weight loss start or journey. I can't say Week 2...I have 2 others like that haha. Hmmm well I'll think about it this next week... Last week's weight: 207.8 This weeks weight: 206.4 Weight loss for the week: 1.4 Weight loss for this start: 5.2 I know its mostly water weight but its in the right direction!! My biggest motivator right now is the HUGE stack if size 14 hand-me-down jeans sitting and waiting for me on my closet shelf. I'm in a weird transition point right now. Before my big huge weight loss last year, the smallest I had been before kids was a size 18. I am a size 16 now. I only had one good pair of size 16 jeans. AAAannnnd those ripped in the inner thigh last week. Shoot....I'm out of good jeans and I am starting to go back to school in less than two weeks. I know I can do it and I have enough capri's and skirts to last till it gets cold. But by the time it gets cold, I hope those 14's are loose on me! I feel like I'm rambling a bit... This last week was a little tough. I made it to the gym twice. I didn't ride my bike at all because the air was so smokey and hazy from a fire up the mountain from us. We are having inspections this week so I have been cleaning a lot lately to help burn calories. With the Twin Tornadoes, I have been cleaning aaalot! They destroy their bedrooms during every nap time! The living room is being cleaned like three times a day. Scouring the bathrooms and kitchen.... Blah, blah, blah :) This coming up week will be very difficult to work out. Lots of heat and its expected to get even more smokier! YUCK! I hope to be able to watch an exercise video and follow through on that. I borrowed a Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred but its been collecting dust. Hopefully I can get Adam to join me! Oh last tangent...I think :) My current weight loss show of choice is Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. I watched Jacqui's episode the other day and it really hit home. She suffered from extreme depression and never felt good enough. When she got over herself and her issues- she was AMAZING!! She exceeded EVERY goal- which I don't think has ever happened. I look in the mirror and go wow, my thighs are awful, look at my stomach, those rolls, ugh... Since that episode this week I have been doing more of, yea my thighs are jiggly but its much better than it did a year ago! My face is thinner, I look amazing in this dress... I need to give myself some more credit! Anywho- Have a great week everyone! Get up and do your dishes and vacuum because for every hour of light effort cleaning means 234 calories burned an hour! Wahoo!
