Weigh-in Wednesday and a New Challenge

It's Wednesday and on Wednesdays I do this horribly awful thing called weighing in and then to make it even horrible and aweful motivating I post it not only on the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans website, I post it to my personal blog two places that the world can see it.... ugh.

Well this week at the Sisterhood starts a new and fun challenge called "21 Days"... this challenge is based off the fact that it takes 21 days to form a GOOD habit so in addition to keeping track of our weight loss and such we are also going to be working hard on forming some new habits. Below you will find a sample list from the Sisterhood.

Here are some great habits that come to our minds:

1. Water intake = minimum of 64 ounces a day
2. Fruits and vegetables = 5 servings a day
3. Dairy = 3 low-fat servings a day
4. Eat breakfast
5. Take a multi-vitamin
6. Exercise = 30 minutes a day
7. No nachos or chocolate cupcakes
8. Sleep = more than you are now
9. Go Whole = eat only whole grains
10. Stretch your body, try it for 5 minutes every morning
11. Pick up the clutter around my house every evening (gag)
12. Shower every day : )
13. Track calories or WW points every single day 

They have challenged us to pick 1-3 of these new habits and go from there... and honestly this has been really hard for me because I want to take them all :) I have highlighted the ones that I want to work on and have given myself a few additional goals.
I found that when I 'assigned' myself weekly goals I did a lot better than I have been. I am not going to lie... I am almost back to where I started at this time last year... I am 10 lbs away from having gained it all back and that scares the shit out of me... I don't want to be the 'fat' mom.... I want to be the mom that my kids are proud to say "that's my mom".... so here are this weeks stats and goals:

Today's weight is 250.8 lbs.

My goals that I have set for myself this week are:

• Drink 200 ozs of water each day
• Track all my weight watch points and stay on point
• exercise for at least 30 minutes each day
• start and complete week 1 of C25K.
• no late night snacking
• take it super easy when I go out with friends *this has been what has been killing me*

I think that is good for this week... here is to an amazing week for all of us.... Good luck ladies (and gentlemen)
