Back on the wagon

Well, after this weekend, I decided I really can't do this on my own. I haven't been tracking points although I havae been aware of what and how much I am eating. Anyway, I signed back up for WW online on Monday. The fact that they had a discount prompted me. I weighed 158 that morning and WI yesterday 153.5. I know it was a lot of water weight from the weekend.
I signed back up because I need the accountability. I'm only 9.5 lbs. over my goal weight, and I know if I focus, it will come off. Als… Continue

Bleh- WI this am - not so great

Well, it looks like the Easter candy won once again. I weighed in this morning and it was 155.5, so I've gained 3 lbs I think since my last post. Oh, well, I started the day well and had a great plan even before WI. After WI, I went for a 30 min walk - 2 miles. Came home and made my berry oatmeal for breakfast and a hot cup of chai tea (no milk) with stevia. That should hold me until well after lunch. I love the fact… Continue

I year - yesterday

Well, yesterday was my 1 year anniversary on WW. I hit goal on 11/26 @ 144. Yesterday I weighed 155. I've gained 11 pounds in a little over 4 months. No big surprise, really. I haven't been journaling or paying attention to what I am eating - actually that's not true, I've been paying attention but was in denial and, quite honestly, I was rebelling. Well, now I am paying for it.
I had a great OP day yesterday, although I ate right before bed. The thing is: I know what I need to do, now I just ne… Continue

No run, rough night

Well, although I was determined to get a walk in, my husband ended up working until 1 am. Needless to say, a little too late for a walk. I did, however, take the kids and the dogs for a quick walk/bikeride. We needed to get out.
Hopefully I will get the chance this evening after we get home from my husband's birthday dinner.

I will go for a walk/run tonight!!!!! Darn it!

Ok, it's getting nicer here - the streets are clear of ice and snow and it's a balmy 35 out. Although it's my husband's birthday (yes, I made a cake), I want to go for a walk to help motivate my butt. I know he won't care - we're going out for dinner tomorrow to celebrate since he works late tonight. I will keep you posted on the outcome.

Maintenance comes with good days and the bad. You know what you need to do - you need to get control of your life back!!! I know how easy it is to let things slip and slide away but I am sure once you get back to feeling good again everything will fall back into place. Don't wait for the spring - start now!!! You can do this!!! I bet those 12 lbs will fly off of you once you get your head back in the game :O)))) Good luck and let me know if you ever need anything!

At 6:12am on January 12, 2009, J. Ross said…: I'm still doing well. I'm 11 pounds from goal...and I hope it won't take too much longer to make it there :~P . How are you???

At 3:26pm on January 8, 2009, Kerina said…: Just thought that I would drop a note. Congratulations on getting to goal. Sounds like things are rather crazy. Just wanted to check on ya :)

At 6:36pm on December 5, 2008, Robyn said…: lol... same here. I actually did find someone on here from Minot (AFB) too! We've been here for 7 years.
