teeohh

So, with the loss of my preganancy, as well as the loss of my father, i knew in order to get healthy i had to get serious… I joined WW on Jan 18th (1 week after i burried my dad) I had been to WW before, but never stuck with it. I went to the Center, hoping i would not be surrounded by nothing but the skinny mini’s with 5.2 pounds to lose to reach goal. And i was plesantly surprised by what i found. never having been to an actual center before (they just opened one here) and the difference made all the difference to me. i was instantly motivated by my saturday morning leader. she had lost over 100 pounds to reach her goal. i had a renewed hope and confidence that i too could do the same thing. the new momentum program is very similar to the previous core and flex plans… but the slight change made the biggest difference. no longer do i see this as a diet… i truley believe this is a way of life… no foods are considered off limits to me. and i have been given encouragement and recognition for acheiving my goals. i have just hit my 5% witch was a loss of 15 pounds. i was 310 when i started buddy slim, and 310 when i rejoined weightwatchers some eight months later. for the first time since in 5 years… i am under 300. and although i have a long way to go… i have the willpower to know i will get there. i have added exercise… which i am still not doing as much as i should. but just knowing i am up and moving has made a big difference. So now i am back on buddy slim and looking to draw some extra encouragement to help me through the tough times and add some new insight to my life long struggle with my weight.

So i know i have not been on in a while. This is partly to do with a new promotion at work, as well as my being well, lazy. i have been going the quick and easy route. and as you know, the not so healthy route. but, with my fellow not so healthy workers, we are quickly forming a support team. As hectic as being a new supervisor is, it does give me so play as far as dealing with many more people than i had been. so, here goes. AGAIN. i have also involved my husband, and three year old daughter.  so i have some cheerleaders at home. i need all the encouragement as i cab get, so keep it coming!!

So i just started weight watchers, and to my dismay, i have gained 40 pounds since i was last on ww. now how that happens, i have no idea!!! Well, i do have an idea, i am just not happy about it. but this is my fresh start. I always seem to do good with ww. it is just the going to the meetings, and not finding other things to spend my money on instead. well this time, i do have a better plan. i have paid up 3 months in advance for ww online, in hopes of already paying for it, i will be forced to stick to it. i weighed in today, and rather than weighing each day, and getting thrown off by weight fluctuations, i vow to only weigh in 1x a week, on monays, so come monday, lets see if i have made progress!!

So as you may be able to tell, i had a not so good weekend… Saturday morning breakfast at eat and park (fishing day tradition) then home made bavarian cream filled doghnuts(2) and my list goes on. but on the bright side of things, i joined a gym. and i am really excited about that… and it didnt cost nearly as much as i had thought. so, i have lunches packed with good for us food. and tomorrow is a new day. lots of veggies. not to mention my debit card will remain safely at home so that when i am tempted to order with the girls, i will have no funds to go in on it… we will see how my weekend splurge effects my weight…

Want to walk a day in my crazy life??? my daughter had her first ever dentist appointment. She is 3. She did so good. And she has perfect teeth. Nothing bad going on. I was such a proud mom. So i advised her we were going to Mc Donalds. She loves going to play there. i was sitting down drinking my NON FAT carmel mocha. I hear some of the moms there yelling about something. i guess i was oblivious during that first delicious sip of my favorite beverage… I look up to see what all the commotion was about. and there is my wonderful little girl. my perfect angel. Standing at the top platform. no pants on. no pull up on. nothing. And there’s my prescious angel peeing all over the top level of the play place!!! it’s runing down the other levels. all over. and she wont come down. those things are not made for grown ups. let a lot big people. so i had to go up and get her, drag her down with disgaurded pants in tow!!! i carried her out the door kicking and screaming. and took off as fast as i could.  if that doesnt count for exercise, i don’t know what does!!!

So,  this is the first day of the rest of my life, right. well this day sucked!! work was crazy, i had to fix every one’s problems, and to top it all off, i have a 2 hour dentist appointment tomorrow. A day off work is  day off work though. i should be thankful for that. I had the intentions of going for a walk today, except it was pouring rain on my lunch break! ha how’s that for kharma? i guess thats what i get for putting it off over and over. i followed through this time, anf that’s what matters. right?
