July Challenge

So I decided to try and get my family involved in losing weight. Sherrie's wedding is in a year and we need to do something besides the fact that mom and Melissa both have knee problems. I saw a commercial that said losing one pound relieves four pounds of pressure off of your knees. I really want my mom to feel better so hopefully she'll take my challenge seriously although I don't think she's going to admit she'll do it. So my challenge to the family was to think of three things you want to work on during the month of July. Keep track of your progress daily and at the end of the month reward yourself for completion. My three things were (1) journal daily (2) drink at least 2 bottles of water a day and (3) exercise at least 4 days a week. So far I have done number 1 and number 2 both days. I tried to exercise today but Emma had other plans, so that went out the window. This just means that I have to exercise the next 4 out of 5 days. If I have 90% completion of each category then I'll reward myself with a pedicure and manicure August 1. I also rejoined WW today. I weighed in at 235.2 pounds. Last time I started, which was July 17, 2007 I weighed 244. So I can't complain I am down 9 pounds from last year, when I really wanted to be down 30, but 9 is better than gaining so that's life. I journaled yesterday but just didn't blog it, so today I'm going to do both days. I'm not counting points for yesterday and today b/c I'm just trying to get used to writing things down again. It was hard today to journal, but I'm going to come do it, just so that I can earn that check mark in my journal box for July 2.
