My weight loss weigh in for 1/9/2012 to 1/15/2012.

I have sworn off alcohol for 30 days.  People keep asking me why and ultimately it comes down to more than one:

• I don’t need the calories.
• I felt like with the holidays I was drinking all the time.
• It is a depressant.
• Drunk is even more unattractive at 38 than it was at 28 or 18.
• It isn’t part of the Nutrisystem plan.

So far I’ve found that when I’m tempted to pour a glass of wine, I’ve kept my hands and mouth busy with snacking.  This hasn’t really helped with my weight loss goals, so I’m still holding even – but I expect that to change here soon.

• Total weight loss to date – 8.4 pounds.
• First goal 10 pounds (1.6 lbs to go).

Week’s Weight Loss Goals

I have not been running like I wanted to, so have decided to sign up for a 5K in April to keep me motivated to complete the Couch to 5K running program.  A friend from our Empty the Trunk Facebook Group recommended I check out Active.com for a list of all the local runs and she was right!  It has a ton of upcoming events listed, so no more excuses!  I’m thinking to sign up for the Frank Shorter Race 4 Kid’s Health scheduled for April 15th in Broomfield.

So, my goals for this week include:

• exercise 3 times,
• follow Nutrisystem closely, and
• drink no alcohol.

Weight Loss Motivation

Finishing the race without walking.
