Success on the scale and the DAMN elliptical!

This morning was my weekly weigh in at weight watchers. I was down 1.4lbs. Which is a total of 14.2 total since January! My mother and I also attend the meetings to listen to other people  trying to lose weight. (I wanted to say other fat people here but not everyone can hear that and not get offended so I won't really say it) There are mostly women trying to lose weight in the meetings but there are a few men. There are so many success stories in that room every week. I so want to be one of them! This morning the meeting was about whats in your fridge. Are there safe foods or not so safe foods in there? I don't keep much in my fridge because my husband and I eat out A LOT! I got some good ideas not that I would actually use them. Maybe I should use them and stop eating out as much... well let's attack one problem at a time! After leaving the meeting I called my hubby to tell him about the loss this week. He's very encouraging and accepting of my craziness and quirks. I told him I was going to the go gym today and he said " I better read a good blog post tonight honey!" He keeps me accountable its annoying but great! :)

I spoke with my personal trainer last night and he said I needed to make it to gym one more time before we met for our first one on one! I feel bad I failed yesterday but today is a new day right? I had one achievement this morning maybe I could make another one. I was on the way to the gym from the meeting and I realized I had the wrong type of bra on haha! So I drove to my parents house which is right down the road from my favorite gym. I knew if I did go there I might not be able to stay motivated if I went in and sat down. So I just ran in and changed and kissed my baby niece and bolted. I parked in the back of the parking lot knowing I would have to walk extra and burn maybe a few more calories. I got in and found an open elliptical (damn it!). I got on and my legs felt like jello but I kept on going. About half way through the workout I could feel my energy draining. I had forgotten to grab a banana (for zero points) to eat on the way to the gym. WORST MISTAKE EVER! I could barely make my legs keep going. I tried and tried I was so tired. But I did it!!!! 40 minutes on the damn elliptical burned 407 calories and went 2 miles! Woo hoo! Why is exercise so essential to weight loss? Its hard, makes you sweat and I'm sure I don't look pretty when I pumping my fat body on that machine. I'm kind of a girlie girl and sweating is not one of my favorite things. PLUS I am lazy!!! Who wants to put your body through pain? UGH I wish it was easier but I know that's not realistic at all. If it were easy then America wouldn't be as obese as we are! So I know it's going to be a tough journey but I'm willing to do it. I need this! 

Anyways tonight is endless enchiladas at On the Border and I have been dreaming of this for a year now. I am going to count every bite that goes into my mouth and if I do I will be down more next Saturday. So excited and thanks for reading!!
