...means I only need 9999 to make the goal for the day!
Although I have continued to stick to Weight Watchers 100% the weight is coming off slower than I'd like. I'm still averaging 2 lbs a week but each week it has been slightly less so that average will go down soon. Last week 1.2lbs. I KNOW that its still going down, and I'm not starving to do it. In fact most days I'm looking for something else to eat because I haven't used all my points.
But I wanted to see if I could kick it up a notch. So this week I bought a FitBit, thinking it might help me move more on nonoworkout days. Today is my third day using it. The first, which I worked out for just an hour, I had 7,500 steps. Not too bad for the first day. But the goal is 10,000 a day. Day two...a sad 2500 steps. The plus side, I feel like this means I have a ton of room for improvement! (Hey, don't ever tell ME I'm a glass half full kind of girl.)
So today, day 3 and I'm making the most of my work hours which is a little tough considering I have a desk job. But I am getting up more instead of stacking stuff up to get up once to do. AND I took a walk at lunch. And I'm almost to 5,000 steps already.
I'm really feeling good about where I am going with this. But I think truly the biggest reason I feel like I'm succeeding this time is the amazing support I get DAILY from friends and family online. From those who help answer my many questions to that cousin who is always ready with a virtual kick in the a$$ when it sounds like I'm trying to be lazy for the day. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about my social media obsession, but it has really be the most amazing tool for me in this journey.
How do you like Fit Bit, I have been considering it.

Keep up the good work on dropping off those unwanted pounds :) With love and support it will make it easier but in the long run remember you are doing it for yourself :)
You're doing an awesome job! Sticking to WW can be tough (from what I'm told) and you've been super dedicated! I'm going to grab myself a fitbit soon, so we can keep each other accountable. Are you on MyFitnessPal? It's compatible with FitBit, too!
