Turnaround

I love to swim!  I think of this every time I jump into the pool and kick off the side to do my first lap.  Yesterday I got up at 4:30am and drove to the gym to get my swim on.  I was in the pool by 5:30.  Turned on my ipod and Adele's song Skyfall starts me off. Best way to start the day!

Went to WW this morning and did my weigh in.  Down 1.6 lbs!  I definitely feel more focused, so I really hope this is the start of a downward trend.  I've been gaining and losing the same weight for far too long.  I am tracking on my Fitness Pal again.  This is helping.  I'm more mindful of what I am eating because I know I have to account for it.  I am watching my carb intake.  I shoot to have low, med, and high days during the week to try to shake things up.  I'm am also doing cardio in a fasted state 2-3 times a week.  Weight training is my priority and I will shoot again to have 2 days in this week. I'm going to try one of Jackie Warner's DVDs to see if that will help.

I also made the decision to discontinue WWs. I think I have 1 more weigh in before my monthly pass expires.  It got me back into weight loss focus in Sept, but really was only using it for the weigh in accountability.  I cannot justify the $50 monthly charge.  I've made a commitment to myself to weigh in at home every Saturday and report in to the The Half Size Me Community I've belong to since mid January.  I feel I am a lot stronger than I was, so I should be able to handle my own weigh ins.
