My scale has been wanting a new battery for some time now. It actually has two different ones, and I tried in vain replacing the cheaper of the two and it didn't help. So after hearing me scream at the scale two mornings in a row, hubs decided to go and get the replacement battery for me. Imagine my surprise when the following morning I step on and it flashes 168 !!!! I didn't believe it, thinking something was obviously wrong with the new battery, the next day it reads 168. That means that I am THREE pounds away from what I weighed at my first OB appointment last January and 13 pounds away from my lowest weight since probably 1998 (155).
I haven't been doing much differently. The first two weeks in January I made it to the gym or worked out at home most days of the week. Then I started to feel really run down and got about 1 day a week for the following two weeks. Then I did a 5K in FREEZING weather, but it felt amazing and I did run probably half of it. It was really muddy in sections and hilly so I decided to take walk breaks then. After the race I was very pumped up and made myself a tailored training program for a 5K that I plan to do in April and did the first day of it. Then, yeah I was feeling worse than before, blah, blah. I have been eating a bit better or trying to. So maybe it's starting to pay off. My first goal was to reach my weight of my first OB appointment, since I had gained weight between starting to "try" and that first appointment. Approximately 10 lbs, maybe a bit less. Being only 3 lbs from that weight feels great, and hello my jeans are starting to fit better. Whodathunkit? Once I hit 165, my next goal is to hit that 155 mark again, hopefully by my 10 year anniversary in May. Then maybe I can buy myself a snazzy outfit for dinner. I mean, who wouldn't want to weigh less on their 10th anniversary then they did on their wedding day? THAT would feel amazing.
