weigh in 5 + challenges

my weight today on the dreaded scale was 172.4. which was a loss of 0.2 of a pound.....basically the same weight to me. so young carter go harder, go farther!!! LOL. naa....but its time to really push myself.

my leader has given us all a 10 week challenge thingy because there are 10 more weeks till january! can ya believe it? yeah. so along with my goal of being in the 160's by November 4th, i'm going to follow my leaders challenges every week. this week's challenge: get healthy oils in. i sometimes forget or am not sure if i get enough of my oils. so i'm gonna do that challenge this week.

also, i have found that a problem for me with weight loss is my liqour intake. i have basically had a glass of wine or a beer almost everyday. i don't wanna say i have a drinking problem. cause i don't. but i do go out a lot, or hang out....and when i'm with others there are usually drinks. so instead of just giving in and drinking, now i'm gonna go cold turkey on the weekdays. because it's definetly affecting my weight loss goals and i don't need to drink like that anyway.

even though i didn't lose much weight today, i felt really good when i left my meeting because i realize people are going through my struggles and you can get feedback from others and tips and just support. and you're not judged and you just feel better when you leave no matter what little success you had. so i felt ok about losing 0.2 of a pound. and i feel so motivated to even go harder.

ooo....i have been totally obsessed with food network lately. i have to try and make one of the healthier dishes....so this week, it's on. can't wait to see how it goes. :)
