Results and goals

Well, I completed week one on Weight Watchers (to be known as WW from here on). 

Saturday morning, I reluctantly dragged my butt out of bed.  I didn't want to go weigh in.  I stayed on point all week but, I was REALLY dreading the scale.  The new points system made me nervous.  I ate ALOT of fruit.  It felt almost like cheating to count it all at zero points!  I just knew I had done something wrong so, I didn't want to see the results. 
I pulled into the parking lot and got to my meeting 5 minutes late.  I could deny it no longer.  The moment of truth was approaching.  After paying my weekly fee and getting my new inspiring paperwork, she asked me to step on the scale.  Here it comes.  I better take off my shoes and take my phone out of my pocket first.  That way maybe it will counterbalance a few ounces.  Okay, no more stalling...
I stepped on the scale and watched the numbers flip back and forth.  Finally they settled.  Weight loss for the week.....................
5.2 GLORIOUS POUNDS!!!  What??!!!  Did I seriously lose this week?  Wow!  This new program must have something to it.

Now, I am on day 3 of week 2.  I love the flexibility of this new program and I love the free fruit because I am definitely not a big fan of most veggies.  I am really excited to see my results for weigh in #2. 
I know that results are not typical for 5 lbs so, I'm hoping for at least 2 lbs.  We shall see.  I still have 4 days ahead of me.

My goal right now is to be down 10% by our Easter production, Alive Again, at church.  I am not a significant part.  I am just a townsperson/chorus girl.  However, I did the production last year and this year, I really want to be less of me.  Being fat in front of people is hard. You really get a nasty inner monologue going as to what people must be saying about you.  This year I'm aiming at being less fat in front of people.  I don't want my fat to snuff out the light of Jesus shining through me as I perform.  I don't want my fat to be a distraction to the importance of the message in the songs I am sharing.  So, that's my goal.  And I think it is achievable.

  2. Don't allow yourself to believe that "fat" is going to hinder the light of Jesus from shining through you. That is the enemy telling you that. Jesus shines through you... not through your "fat". Other than that... congrats on the loss of 5 pounds. that's awesome!
