Weekly Weigh In - Week 24

I haven't blogged in a while.  Life has just been busy.  This past week I had family from Mexico visiting and we ended up spending a few days in Lake Tahoe.   My last entry, I was on week 21 in my Weight Watchers journey and after yesterday's weigh in, I am now down 49.6 pounds.  Whoo hoo!  I sort of relaxed during this past week and I gained a pound but I am ok with it.  I am so close to being a 50 pound loser and I hope to reach that next week.  I can't believe I have been on Weight Watchers for 24 weeks.  Never in my life have I been on a "diet" for such a long time and been successful at it.  Now that I've been on WW for so long it doesn't feel like I am on a diet.  It really is just monitoring what I eat and watching the portions which is what I like about this program. 

I am still on target to reach 75 pounds by the end of June which is when IMATS LA takes place.  That means I have to lose an average of 1.75 pounds a week to reach 75 pounds.  Food wise I am doing good but damn, I am off of the workout routine and can't seem to get back into it.  I just can't get motivated to just put on a workout DVD and move my booty.  I know that working out is something that I need to do to help me lose weight but there's a disconnect right now with my brain knowing that I need to work out and actually doing it.  I need to get back into a place where I working out is something that I do. 

While in Lake Tahoe, I took a couple of full body shot pictures and I now can really tell that I've lost weight.  I will post those pictures later.  My clothes are getting so ridiculously loose and I need to buy more so that I don't look so bad. 

 
To quote Tim Gunn, this week I need to "Make it work".  I WILL BE A 50 POUND LOSER NEXT WEEK.  Oh yes I will.
