I Want it That Weigh...

I would just like to take this moment to pay tribute to the Weight Loss Fairy this week. I am happy to say I lost 2 more pounds at my weigh in today, totalling my Weight Watchers journey at 20 pounds, and approximately 32 pounds overall. Usually I only count the Weight Watchers weight, but since I sort of began the journey on my own right before the holidays, I should probably give myself some credit for being able to lose weight during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I am also happy to report that some of my friends, who are on a different program called "Prism," are also doing quite well! Great job, Tina and Beth! Although I don't know Beth's number at this time, I DO know she is looking fantastic, and her clothes are hanging off of her...and Tina...I am so proud of you as well! In only 6 short weeks, you have managed to drop a pretty darn significant number, and you're looking amazing! You are both helping to inspire me; especially because I KNOW what dedication, work, and faith you are putting into your efforts, and that is something to be SO very proud of! :-)
I also want to give a shout out to my bestest buddy, Cindy, who is taking part in a weight loss challenge at CSUF. She is working her butt off with trainers, and I know her hard work will pay off! Thank you for always always always being such an incredible friend, and for helping me strive to be better! :-)
I also want to thank Michelle for being such a great support to me. I am beginning to report my weekly results to her, and she is always there to encourage me, which I REALLY need! Thank you so much! I am here to support you too, and look forward to more workouts together! It helps so much to have that accountability.
To my friend, "Other Marisa," who has also been doing a great job of shedding the pounds in the last couple months: I am amazed at how well you are doing with your online program. Not only have you dropped the weight, but you have done it with fewer guidelines and "rules." That...my friend...is impressive. :-)
This blog is short and simple: a shout out of praise and thankfulness to those of us who are striving to be healthier individuals. Lastly, I want to thank Iva for a great talk a couple weeks ago back at MOPS. Your energy and excitement are truly uplifting, and I am looking forward to getting to you know better!
So instead of my regular TV/Movie/Music quote, I sign off with my own lyrics to the Backstreet Boys song, "I Want it that Weigh (Way)"
"Ain't nothin' but a cheesecake (Tell me why) Ain't nothin' but a juicy steak (Tell me why) I never want the scale to say that I want it that weigh...(Tell me why) Ain't nothin' but a back break (Tell me why) Ain't nothin' but a muscle ache (Tell me why) I never want the scale to say, I want it that weigh...Cuz I will make my goal, someday!"
