Weigh-In Wednesday

Last week's weight: 199.1
Today's weight: 201.1
Week's change: +2.0
Total change: -30.9

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

Okay, so a gain. I know that weight isn't my true weight -- I'm in the middle of my period, I indulged in every craving possible yesterday, and I'm constipated. But, it's still alarming and enough to get me off my butt. I haven't worked out in a month, but today's the day! I'm clad in my workout gear, about to leave to pick up the kid I babysit and then go to class. After class, I'm going to attempt to do an hour of cardio and some weights. I'm bringing some healthy food with me to class, because I can literally still feel the food in my stomach from yesterday and I'm just not hungry yet.

I'm loving Blogger so far, it's just taking me a while to find people to follow and whatnot. I'll do more exploring after the gym! (:

edit, 2:04 PM: I did it! I stayed on that elliptical for a whole hour! I expected pain, but I think my legs are numb. haha I kept a steady pace and I feel good. I can't believe I stayed out of the gym for so long! What was wrong with me!?

Blogga what?

Oh hello, Blogger. (: I'm Sarah. I'm a rising junior in college, living on my own, trying to become the best possible me.


I'm new to this site, but I've been on Xanga for going on 8 years. I definitely have a history with weight loss blogging. This year is when it all changed for me -- my efforts in the past could be described as disordered eating, but now I'm all about making a healthy lifestyle change. FOR GOOD. I've gone from 232 to 197ish. As far as what I ultimately want to get to, it all depends. I haven't been below 180 since middle school, so who knows what I'll even look like when I reach that point. For me, it's all about leading a healthy life and feeling good about myself. I have a few dear friends on Xanga, but the weight loss community has basically taken a turn for the worst. I feel like this may be a better spot for me, as a mature adult trying to become healthier.

I'm going to explore the site and try to find some fellow weight loss bloggers!
