Gotta concentrate on the present

I worked hard this week and it showed on the scale. I lost 4.2 pounds bringing a total of 62.2. I am so happy with this week's weight loss. As I was putting in my new weight on my WW app, I noticed that in May, I had reached a 62 pound loss. I started to feel a bit depressed about the fact that since May, my weight has gone up and down and it took almost 3 months to get back to where I was in May. It's disappointing for sure but I know why that happened.

During the past four months my life has changed dramatically and I know that there were times when I let myself feel sorry or defeated. I would pick myself back up but the damage was done. It wasn't until the Do Life event that it finally sunk in that I needed to just "do life" and not get depressed about the circumstances.

Today, I feel so much better about my workouts and weight loss. I feel stronger and with more energy. Being healthy is my #1 priority right now and I am doing it. I had set a goal of reaching 70 pounds by the end of August.* I don't think that's going to happen. However, my one year anniversary with Weight Watchers is at the end of September and I'm making it my mission to lose 75 pounds by September 20, 2011.

Can't nobody take my pride

Can't nobody hold me down

I gotta keep on movin'
