I am just about off of work and it is time to face the truth again. I will be going to my gloriously crowded (alwaysat this time of year. Glad I can say I made it through 3 seasons now) WW meeting to weigh-in. I have my lightest shorts on, my lightest shirt on, my watch is off, my hat is off, I spit my gum out, I am on may way to the bathroom, my underwear is off :) (just kidding), and I am ready to roll. Wish me luck. We will see what leaving only one point left over for the week does.

Well, my first WW meeting was good. It felt good to be back in the game and to really commit to making a change. I knew many of the people in the group, so that was fun too. I am feeling really motivated, so that is good. I had to travel for work, so we have spent the last two days in the car. It was a challenge, but I managed to eat pretty healthfully. I am proud of myself! I used 3 flex points yesterday, but I am happy with my choices. Today went well, but I have been kind of saving up point… Continue

I don't know what happened! I woke up and the scale read: 119.6. I know I was below 1300 yesterday.. Hmm.. Oh well I wont let this stop me from losing my 8 pounds this month, but it sure is a bummer. Well, I followed directions today, but maybe its just going to lead to 120.6 tomorrow. >=| Weight: 119.6 [[Ugh]]

For once I am not starting the new year with a resolution to lose weight. I do wish to lose some more weight but technically, I am in a desirable weight zone. My only resolution would be to continue to challenge myself in my quest to get healthy. This will be a lifelong journey. Not easy but the alternative is also not easy. It was hard to live each day with almost 70 excess pounds on myself. Emotionally and physically it was far worse than the effort to exercise and eat right. I wish each and… Continue

Before weigh in tonight, I am going to hit up the gym (elliptical) and a sculpt class with my sister. I want to leave now so I can fit in a 1/2 hour of the elliptical. However, my butt seems to be in slow gear today. I will post later with an update on my weight. I really would like to shed some of the holiday gain, however, I don't know if my eating/exercise this week will have done the trick. S

Well ladies and gents, I am completely flabbergasted. Like a brave soul I decided to face the scale after about 2 weeks of eating without abandon. Seriously, I was eating whatever I wanted, not exercising like I should have been (hello! half marathon coming up!? what am i thinking??). So I step on the scale, finally peek, and it's the same freaking number it was before the holidays! What gives? Usually I'm watching every morsel I put in my mouth and still struggling to not gain. I swear I have a… Continue

First I have to say I am not looking for responses I just need to get this out - you can reply if you want I'm just saying this isn't really a "what do you think" blog as much as it is just me needing to type out some of my frustrations ... I am just so fed up with myself any more it is not even funny. I absolutely hate who I have become. I know you are supposed to accept yourself and love yourself before you can change who you are but at this moment in time I love nothing about myself! Now I'm… Continue

Yesterday I had to work through lunch because things got busy. Luckily I had an apple in my purse (left over from breakfast which I didn't have time to eat) and I keep a small bag of raw almonds in the office for a little snack when needed...so I had both. Well, even though I had the apple and the almonds it set me off track and I was starving when I got home. I immediately fixed dinner and ate according to my plan and was full. What is interesting is I continued to "feel" starved even though I… Continue

I have a confession but also a NSV! This morning I consumed a large amount of peanut M&Ms (mind you this was before I really even got moving this morning)...and the OLD me starting saying Well, you've screwed up for today you may as well call it a wash and start new tomorrow. But, this amazing inspirational thought came to me. Don't let the best, get in the way of better! Now, this is a quote that a guy in my church ward used when he was giving a lesson in my home. And it is SO… Continue
