Weigh in Wednesday!

Well today is weigh in day and the official start weight for the SCC Challenge!!! Over the Christmas holiday and in the post holiday eating craze, I gained 7 pounds and I was 277.9, still lower than the picture update I put up...but it wasn't a happy number. I've been dancing with 277 for way too long. WAY TOO LONG! This week I had some struggles with temptation but my official weight in weight today is...

Drumroll Please...

271.2!!!!!!

This is not the lowest I've hit on Jenny Craig, which my consultant constantly reminds me of...but it's a starting point. So today I set my SCC goal. I thought long and hard about this goal and what I want to do with it. I want to be realistic but I also want to challenge myself. That's what this is about, right!?

Starting Weight: 271.2
Target Weight: 240

That is a goal of a little over 2.5 pounds a week which I think is appropriate and acceptable. It'll be hard when I go to Italy but I know my sister and I are going to be doing a TON of walking!! And if I'm losing more than that...which I think I might after yesterday's workout...I'll tinker with it. I also bought myself a very special article of clothing that I'm hoping might fit...

I bought it and THEN read the reviews...which could be a problem because a lot of people say this dress runs small. I'm in an XL now and this dress is a large but I'm thinking it might not fit until I'm much smaller (if at all, I do have a larger bust). But anyway, I would love to fit in this dress!!!! AT SOME POINT! It may be a goal dress and not just the SCC dress but...I am going to try it!

Cute huh?

Okay so...update on my goals for the week. What have I accomplished so far? Ummm well... let's just say I did a little more than take Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred off the DVD rack. The proof is in the pudding...I think mine is cherry. I worked out SO hard and today I am SO sore. I think I'm going to do my exercise bike today and some yoga...no 30 Day Shred for me today or I might break.

This is my WHAT DID I DO!? face...I also could barely take a picture because my hands were sweaty. WIN!
