Weight Watchers Update – Week 13

Just a quick update on my weigh-in from today. I am at a basketball game right now – not really the best time to type this up. This will be a short post but expect a longer one tomorrow about my weekly goals and other updates. Today was a good weigh-in and I am still amazed at my results. I knew I was losing this week pretty steadily but I never know how that will translate on the WW scale. It translated today to a five pound loss, or as my friend Yerttle sees it – I lost a whole chicken. Yeah, five pounds is pretty crazy and I consider it an anomaly caused by a big change in my workout routine. This past week I spent less time in the gym and more time taking classes (yoga and nia) and walking which in addition to my boxing classes seemed to be right mix of exercises which resulted in a big loss. Speaking of walking, I decided that I am going to participate in the See Jane Run women’s half marathon in Austin on October 9. Don’t freak out- I am going to be walking it, not running. I am not that crazy….yet 😉 But more on that tomorrow.

Since I had such a big loss this week it is possible that next week I will hit my 10% weight loss goal – 28 pounds lost. I am at 24.8 now so if I have another big loss week and manage to lose 3.2 pounds I will be golden. I am excited though because I am about to hit another milestone in 0.2 pounds – 25 pounds lost. At WW this gets you a key chain and as you hit big milestones while participating, WW gives you fun little key rings to put on it. I actually have a key ring from the WW 5K and have been patiently waiting for the key ring to put it on. I am excited at the idea of having a memento to carry with me. It will be a great reminder of my progress on this journey. So, I am hoping if I bust my butt this week I will get my key ring and my 10% reward- new clothes- next weekend. Stay tuned!
