goals
I did a 2 mile tonight, with the stretchie bands. While I feel good for doing something, it was only the second time that I exercised this week (the first was before my last entry), and I know that isn't enough to give me much benefit. I really need to motivate myself to step things up.When I weigh in on Tuesday, I'm sure I'll weigh the same, which sucks. My goal for this 10-week session of WW is to hit the next lower point range, 174 lbs. As of right now, that's about 16 pounds away, and there are 9 weeks left. So that's a little less than 2 lbs a week, which is doable, but maybe I'm setting myself up for failure.
My lowest weight was 178, I believe that was in June. Since then I have been through 2 10-week sessions, with a 13 pound gain to show for it.
And since my exercise since then has been sporadic, at best, I'm sure I've lost quite a bit of muscle. So if I up my exercise, and gain back my muscle, my weight will actually increase because muscle weighs more than fat. If that makes any sense.
Maybe instead of setting a weight goal, I should set a size goal. At 178, I fit comfortably in size 12 stretch jeans. Now my belly is hanging over my size 14s. So maybe my goal should be to fit the 12s comfortably again, with a tight fit in 10s? Or maybe that's also too ambitious?
I don't know. I know that if I set a goal, I'll be more motivated, but I just have trouble setting realistic goals, or knowing what is realistic. I guess I'll see where I stand on Tuesday and maybe that will help me figure things out.
On the boyfriend side - everything is going well. Matty and I had a misunderstanding over money recently (long story), which lead us both to believe that the other wanted to end the relationship. But after lots of talking, and crying (him more than me), I believe our relationship is even stronger.
