Hitting Milestones

It's been another great week for me with Weight Watchers. I lost another 1.2 pounds this week which puts my total at 7 pounds lost in the last 7 weeks. It's a little slower than I'd like to see, but I know that I'm doing it the healthy way.

In our meeting I was awarded another star for reaching the milestone of losing 5% of my weight. Pretty cool! I am really looking forward to reaching the 10% goal!

For me personally I reached another important goal this week. I finally went below 150 pounds. I've been over 150 pounds for about 8+ years now and have never been able to stay below that number. When I started this journey I had 3 major milestones I hoped to reach. The first to be {and stay} below 150, the second to get to 140 and my long term, ultimate goal to reach 130. I'm excited to have reached the first goal, and really hope I can maintain it and not yo-yo back above 150.

Speaking of which ... I'm a little nervous ... next week we're going away for a few days with some friends, and then the following week I'm going to FL for a scrapbook weekend with my girlfriends. I'm extremely excited for both trips, but I know myself, and I know that being away on a trip and being around friends causes BIG TIME temptation for me to eat bad. I am happy with the success I've had and don't want to gain back what I've lost. So if you don't mind ... pray for me that I will resist temptation and will have strength to keep up my good habits. And that I'll stay active while I'm away too - since I know that helps a lot.

Finally, at my meeting today I picked up one of WW's pedometers. Our leader challenged us to try to reach 10,000 steps a day ... and our ultimate goal is to reach 1,000,000 steps! Yes, I said a MILLION! If we reach a million, we will get a prize. There is no time limit or pressure, just simply the challenge of trying to MOVE more!

So, I'm off to run up and down the stairs to change my laundry a bunch of times ... what will you do to be active this week??
