Weigh-in Friday: Birthday Edition

10/19/12
Starting weight: 252.4
Last weigh-in: 254.0
Today: 253.5
Change: -0.5
Total loss/gain: +1.1

A small loss, but a loss! I’m very pleased with this because the last couple of days I’ve definitely indulged for my birthday. I had the avocado eggrolls at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch Wed. (18 pts.!) and then went out to dinner with my boyfriend and enjoyed a meal complete with chocolate cake. So that, combined with the boneless wings and hard cider I had after my company softball game last night (we finally won a game!), well, I just wasn’t watching it too closely. I did, however, stay within my Weight Watchers points! I used ALL my flex points and ALL my activity points this past week, though. That’s definitely not my goal during non-birthday weeks!

Bottom line: I lost a half pound. Yippee!! Now the goal is to do that, or better, next week!

This next week I’m going to share a lot of what I’m eating and what I’m doing for exercise on my blog and on Twitter (@BhamJen) as part of CeCe’s “Plus Size Fitness Challenge” over at The Big Girl Blog. Go read about her and the challenge and follow her hashtag #PSPfit for updates!

Also, I’m running Race for the Cure tomorrow here in Birmingham! Planning to run the whole 5k. Last year I ran my best time ever at Race for the Cure…and forgot to write the time down! I’m going for 35 min. or less. Hope I can do it!

Did you meet your fitness/healthy eating goals this week?

I am Jennifer Dome, a 33-year-old woman living in Birmingham, Ala., miles from my Northeast-based family and some of my closest friends, but loving the Magic City, my BF and the friends I’ve made here in the South. I’ve lived in nine different states, plus London, and worked for some top-notch publications (Southern Living, Women’s Wear Daily) as a writer and copy editor. Now I am the assistant editor at a bass fishing magazine. I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I remember, at one time tipping the scale at 289 pounds. At the end of 2009, weighing in at about 275, I started counting calories (I now use Weight Watchers) and exercising regularly, finally finding some success in this ongoing battle. After a scare from my doctor in early 2010, that success became even more important to my overall health. It’s still a challenge, and the scale definitely moves up and down instead of just down, but my confidence that I will reach my goal is solid.
