Weigh In Thursday
So this week I have lost another pound making for a total of 20. Although I did OK on the weight part I measured myself and realized that over the past 4 weeks I have gained 2 inches on just about everything. I promised myself that I would be fully honest on this blog and I have to say that I felt really disappointed about that. I am not sure what is going on because I have lost 7.5 lbs since the last time I measured myself. Although I had this set back, I am committed to change. I need to be even better and use my extra points less. I still have a long way to go and I cannot let this bring me down. Sorry ya'll for not doing well today but I hope that I can learn from this and do better. As always I love you guys and hope you all are doing well.

Results!
Yesterday marked the 75th day since my decision to change my life and I couldn't be happier. I have not had a bad thought about myself since I started Weight Watchers. Any of you who know me well know that I just broke all of my personal records. I also feel so great! I don't get winded by doing simple activities and I have less aches and pains. I feel like my body can keep up with my age now.
Another measure of the progress I have made is my fitness test I took last Tuesday. I have taken this teacher about 4 times now and she is awesome! Usually when I take these pre-tests, I expect to not do very well because my fitness has never been great but I rocked it! I was only one of 4 people who held the wall-sits for 3 mins (the maximum) and I held the plank for a full 60 seconds where before I was only able to hold it for 25 seconds. My heat rate test was also much better than last time and my teacher was shocked at the progress I have made. I am not telling you this to brag but I really just wanted to share how I am doing with all of you. It would also be nice if I could give you some inspiration to be healthy. I know that I have said this several times but it feels so nice to be healthy. It has gotten to the point where I don't feel like eating junk food 90% of the time. Well it looks like I need to go but weigh in is tomorrow so you should check back to see the results. Love ya!

Beautiful People
Beauty noun \ˈbyü-tē\: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.
For the past week I have been reflecting a lot about what beauty means to me. I think that beauty is not only physical although that can be part of it. I think that every single decision and word we say can make us beautiful or not. I also believe that you can be more beautiful by loving and showing kindness to others. I can honestly say that there isn't a single person who was kind, compassionate and honest that I didn't think was gorgeous. For the past month I have been trying to be beautiful every day. Mostly by straightening my hair, doing my makeup and wearing cute clothes, but I am realizing that I forgot about that other side of beauty. I keep forgetting that a truly beautiful woman is kind, compassionate and nurturing. It is amazing to me that we can get so caught up in the physical side of beauty that we forget that a smile is more beautiful than a frown and a kind word is more beautiful than an insult. I am still working on being more beautiful and being what God wants me to be but I hope that we can all keep in mind that there are two parts to love and beauty and you can't have one without the other. Love ya'll!

Weight in Thursday
So I know today is Friday but I didn't post yesterday so here it is. I lost 2.5 lbs this week and I forgot to do my measurements so I will post them next week. I am really happy about losing because that means I am only 3.1 lbs away from my first target weight (I am trying to take baby steps).
