Hello there, all. Today was my first meeting at the start of my "8 Months to A New Me" plan. I am super excited to be getting into shape, and I also have some exciting news on that front.
Because I am a young person, my body has been growing taller lately. When I very, very first went to the Doctor and started Weight Watchers, I was about 5'2 and 166 pounds. I lost weight and got down to about 140 last November, but have slowly (and not so slowly) gained back the weight due to laziness. Now, I am 5'6.75 (I'm rounding up and going with 5'7). So, let's say I'm 5'7 and 164.8 pounds. I'm also 3 years older. Because of this, my goal weight will most definitely need to change.
My goal weight when I very very first started (back in the 5'2 days of 166 pounds) was to be anywhere between 135-125. However, though I would love to be able to be that small now, it just wouldn't be healthy for me and where I am now. So, I will have to go to consult my doctor and look at her growth charts, because the Weight Watchers healthy weight ranges are for adults, and not young people.
According to the Weight Watchers Healthy weight ranges, an adult woman of my height can weigh anywhere between 160-128 pounds. However, because I'm still likely to grow (my doctor says I'm supposed to grow to 5'11) I'm not really sure what to aim for.
To be honest, I'm kind of not looking forward to going to the doctor to see that, because it'll look like I haven't lost anything. I have, but then I (quite stupidly) gained all of it back. GO ME!
I'm not really that down on myself anymore. I've accepted that I need to change, taken the initiative to do so, and I'm currently in the process of changing. I'm just excited that I'm growing, because all of the women in my family are short, and I'm so glad to be tall now!
I'm also looking forward to running, because I was so happy with my body while I was running last year. I know breaking into it again won't be any fun, and there will be lots of soreness on the part of my legs, but I can't wait. I'm starting a 13 week training program on Monday, and I think I'll make it a FS Challenge so you all can join if you like.
Last update: I weighed in this morning at me meeting. I'm (obviously, as you can see from my weight history) 164.8 today. So, I think my goal will be to try and aim for about 1.2 this week, because like I said in my last journal, and I need to be losing around that amount to meet my goal by the time March rolls around.
Anyhow, I just thought I'd fill you guys in. I'm not even sure if anybody is reading these, but it'll be nice for me to have, for posterity. :)
All my love, positivity, and inspiration to you for this week. I'll see you next time.
