TOPS results...

So, Thursday night is TOPS night. Last Thursday I had lost 2 lbs. That may not sound like much, but I refuse to be dissatisfied with it. It's progress, and that's all I'm asking for at this point. Tops is good for me personally because I need the accountability to prod me, kind of like doing this blog. I have promised myself that I will share my successes and my failures. I just don't want to have to put alot of failures down on "paper"! I also don't want to have some big event that I'm trying to lose weight for (remember - it's different this time). I dont want to have to lose 20 bls by X date to be comfortable going to see my family, or go to that class reunion or family vacation. I just want to get healthy!
That said - we have started a new challenge at TOPS to be the "biggest loser" by the Thursday before Valentine's day. I'm not sure what the prize is, or even if there is a prize, but as Kevin (from Home Alone) would say, "I'll give it a whirl". I have a life-long friend that is going to TOPS with me, so that helps keep me inspired to go - and besides - I want to beat her! =-)
I didn't have a great weekend. Ugh... here goes the first set back (I dont want to have to share another one). I found myself alone most of the weekend - for the first time in a very long time. I layed around and watched movies all weekend! I loved it!! I didn't eat any junk and stayed very close to my 1400 calorie goal, but didn't exercise much. I spent 10 to 15 minutes on the stationary bike and did some house cleaning, but that's pretty much it. Because of the sub-zero temps we have had alot of lately it's just been hard to get outside. But, even so - this morning my pants were a hair looser than normal. That rocks!
