Today I put in my new Xbox game in the 360, it's a Biggest Loser game that uses the Kinnect. I thought it would be awesome... Yeah right. First you have to do this fitness test with Bob, whom I loved a lot more before the fitness test :(. Anywho, on the screen in the bottom right corner, a not so small version of you appears. It doesn't show you like if you were to stand in front of a mirror, but a heat seeker version or something. Basically I looked like a blob with a head and limbs. I noticed when I begin exercising the blob of me begin moving, it was horrible! You know when people say they had that "wake up" moment. Well I have now had mine. I had to put a blanket over that side of the tv so I wouldn't see myself. That 55" screen is not a forgiving one, but a truthful one. I needed to see that. Just not during the whole workout. Now I'm not one for being down on your self image, but man, it was bad. But it motivated me so that's good, right? It ended up being a very fun workout and I will do it again. I have committed to doing 4 times a week. It also took my measurement's within scarey accuracy and it will keep up with that for me. I can also do a video diary and stuff like that on it later after I figure it out a little bit more.
Okay, now for the NUMBER. The big first weigh in. I will say I am up 10 pounds from September so it is definitely time to do something, I could put on weight like no bodies business. At my largest I weighed... drum roll please... 326 pounds. It might have got heavier than that but that's what I caught on the scale. Yep, I weighed over 300 pounds. That's a rather large person. Right now as I type this I weigh 280 pounds. What's that? You can't read it? Was I whispering? Okay, I will say it again. 280 pounds 280 pounds 280 pounds 280 pounds!!!!Okay, no matter how small or how large I type it it's still the same. Yep, at around 1 pm today I weight exactly 280.0 pounds. In September I seen 269.8, the first time I had been under 270 in I don't know when. I will see it again. Especially since I have decided on my first milestone gift to myself. At my first 15 pounds gone, I am treating myself to a very VERY much needed Pedicure... I'm excited. I hope I weigh 265 tomorrow :). BUT I am not counting on that.. Maybe around Valentines day? That is more realistic. I would love to lose 80 pounds in the course of 2013 but I will be very happy with 50 pounds. I have no desire to lose fast and gain faster. I want to do this sensible and for ever.
I am going to hit my Zija XM+ and my Zija tea as my very nutritious jump start and I will be starting a weight loss support group soon with my friends that will make the difference to a lot of us. One thing for sure is to be held accountable to me is very important. Not sure how often I will be posting, but I will be posting a good "before" pic soon. Until then, HAPPY LOSING!!!!
Love in Christ,
