2K10 Weigh-ins ~ Week 1

Starting Weight: 258lbs
2K10 SW: 169lbs
Current Weight: 168lbs
Weekly Loss: 1 lb
Total Loss: 90 POUNDS!!!

Wow!! My first official weigh-in for 2010 and it's a loss!! Although it's a small loss, it is rather significant to me. This little pound takes me to the 90 pound loss milestone. I am 11 pounds away from my initial goal of losing 101 pounds. That makes me smile. This one little pound also shows me that my body has changed. I wasn't as diligent with my eating and exercises this past week. I celebrated New Years Eve without restriction or guilt (I ate well, I just indulged in a few cocktails). I also missed a couple of days of working out. Yet, I was able to still pull off a loss. This is just great, a great way to start off any day, much less a new year!

I did not get a chance to weigh in yesterday, my usual Saturday WI's. So I weighed in this morning instead and I plan to just keep the weigh-ins on Sunday mornings from now on.

So, I'm sure you've noticed a few changes with the blog. I just wanted something different and fresh to start of the new year as I start the work to achieving all the goals I've set for 2010. I decided to rename the site (URL is the same). It's now called, "Blueprint 2010: The Journey Continues..." instead of Joania's Weight Loss Journey! I think 2009 represented more of the "weight loss" part of the journey, the "blueprint" represents the plans I've laid out for this year. At the end of the year, I may change it again or just keep it as the Blueprint for Life...who knows! One of my supporters, Nia suggested "Game Plan 2010" and I really liked that as well, I took a vote at home and The Blueprint won.

Anyway, the journey continues. Now it's time to kick it back in high gear. The dojo re-opens tomorrow so back to my Weight Training session and 2 kickboxing classes!! I'm cooking up my chicken breasts, salmon and veggie soup as we speak to pre-pack and freeze my lunches/snacks for the week. I will post the plan or what I'm calling the Blueprint Basics tomorrow. A simple plan.

Until next time...
Joania
