My Progress

To quit or not to quit

Weight Watchers that is.

It's not as if I don't like the plan any more, I'll try my best to continue it no matter what my decision, I'm just getting tired of paying for it :-p The stupidest part is, that since I am kind of blah about the program right now, I haven't been following like I should, which is just wasting more money. I figure if I had actually been doing well the past three weeks, I could conceivably be about 3 pounds away from my goal weight and that much closer to achieving lifetime (ie free) membership.

I need to get SERIOUS about re-committing, at least for the next month, which I think I have already paid for anyway. After every meeting lately I say I'm going to start counting points tomorrow, so this time I'm going to have to beat myself over the head with it. TRACK TRACK TRACK COUNT COUNT COUNT!

Oh and I'm probably just getting my hopes up, but I may have even another reason to lose my 30 by the end of this year. Michael's mom thinks she might finally get a contract on the house they are selling, and if the offer is acceptable she is taking us all to the Bahamas for Christmas! I'll be pasty white, but hopefully I'll at least look better in a bathing suit :)

A whole lotta nothing

I didn't update last week, but it was pretty uneventful. I did no food/point tracking (which I haven't done this week either- oops!!) and not surprisingly I didn't lose any weight. However, I didn't gain any either, so that's good. It is crazy to think that I was exactly the same weight to a 10th of a pound. Hopefully this is a sign that once I get to a goal weight, I can do a decent job of maintaining it. Though one week is hardly a trend.

This week, even though I haven't tracked, I feel better about my food choices and quantities (barring that trip to the cupcake shoppe on Saturday...yum)

I have done a few more toning sessions this week via exercise on demand- mostly abs. My belly and thighs are where all my weight is, so I need to help them along! I HATE squats though, so I'm afraid my thighs will always be flab-alicious.

Feeling ggggreat!

I think it's the weather, but I have been feeling pretty awesome this week. I have been going on several (short) walks a day and every time I go outside it makes me all happy and de-stressed. I was even thinking yesterday, that if the weigh-in wasn't good today, that it probably wouldn't negatively affect my mood. Luckily I didn't have to worry about that though, b/c I had another loss this week, so yay!

I am also feeling a little less frantic about someone buying our house. I just need to chill and let things run their course. I'm sure I will go through periods where I will get really impatient again, but hopefully not stress out about it as much as I was. Stress is bad people!!

So the good news is the lower number on the scale, the bad news is that Michael made gooey butter cake again... Thanks a lot! And of course not bad news, but challenging, we are going to another birthday party tomorrow. So it's time to ratchet up my self control a little more and make it through this holiday weekend without a gain!
