- About Me:
- Hi I'm Cyndy! I am in my early 30's my husband of 8 years and I live in Southern California. We don't have any children however we do have a spoiled dog that we both adore.
I must say that I have struggled with weight issues for about as long as I can remember. I grew up watching both of my parents try just about every diet imaginable and as I became an adult I did the very same thing. If you can name the diet, rest assured I have tried it....and failed.
I started WW back in January of 2006 with my mom as my meeting buddy and supporter. We were both very successful and in 7 months I lost about 60 pounds. It was the first time I was able to commit to a weight loss program and stick with it...that is until we went on vacation and all of my old habits reared their ugly faces!
It has now been nearly two years and I am still trying to get back into the mind frame that convinces myself that I can do this and I WILL do this. For the first time in a long time I feel like I am finally there!
One of my biggest demons is that my family owns a restaurant. Fortunately my husband is the one who is there all of the time so I don't have the daily temptations in my face and under my nose! But in any case, when I do happen to be there, it's awfully hard to ignore the yummy things that are being served but it's also when I feel the most confident about my ability to be in control.
Enough about that and more about me...
I do hope to start a family soon. In the meantime, the husband and I love spending time together as much as we can by traveling, cooking, hanging out with friends and family, watching movies and football (Go Steelers!), or enjoying our family vacation home in the Sierras by skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer (I hike, he golfs).
I look forward to getting to know many of you and can't wait to share my weight loss successes (and set backs) along the way!

Still on track....yahoo!
Well, I had every intention of getting my rear end to my weekly meeting yesterday but for some reason I just couldn't get myself out of bed. Perhaps the fact that the husband and I were up until almost 3 am chatting away like teenagers at a sleepover had a little something to do with why I was so tired. Now, in the past when I have had lazy days, the first thing that I skip is my tracking and healthy eating. I am so proud of myself because I didn't do that this time and I even cooked a new recipe that I saw in my latest WW magazine for dinner. Yea me! Needless to say it was fabulous and I am still on track.
I am looking forward to the weigh-in this coming Saturday but won't be able to stick around for the meeting since I have to work. Oh well, as long as I go right!
Another huge accomplishment this past week was that although it was my birthday and my employees brought in all sorts of yummy things to celebrate, I managed not to let the birthday cake consumption get out of hand. I kept it to one piece and even wrote it down!
I am trying a new thing this coming week called menu planning. My husband and I have always been impulsive about our plans for dinner during the week which is probably why we wind up going out a lot because neither one of us want to deal with prepping, cooking, cleaning, etc. So I planned it all out with WW recipes and am actually looking forward to it...I know, sometimes it doesn't take much to excite me!
Well, I'm off to run errands but I wanted to wish all of you mothers out there a wonderful Mother's Day. I hope you all get to do exactly what you want today!

Making Good Choices
Do you ever have days where you just amaze yourself? I had one today and it wasn't all that big of a deal but when I look back on it now, I think...huh you really CAN do this! My hubby and I had a rare day off together and chose to spend it with his mother. Now typically when we visit, we usually take her out to lunch or bring lunch in to her and it is just about as bad as you can get. I'm talking good old home cooking type food that is usually swimming in butter, cheese or some unhealthy concoc… Continue

Down 8.8 and still gong strong!
Woo Hoo! I was ecstatic this morning when I went to weigh in to find that I lost 8.8 lbs! This couldn't have come at a better time because I was starting to feel like if I didn't lose then I was going to be all sad. I've been really sticking to my menu planning and not only does it help me stay on track, it also makes me feel a lot more organized. One trip to the market and I'm set for the whole week. I am baking some of Roni's Pumpkin Bran Muffins right now that I'll have for breakfasts. I'm su… Continue

Exercise...or lack thereof.
I have done a pretty good job of staying on plan since I have started back at WW 2 weeks ago. My biggest issue is that I still need to get into a routine of working out. Part of my issue is that I have so many excellent excuses that I could list here but I'm sure you're all well aware of them! So, years ago before my weight became an issue, I was a competitive swimmer and I would give anything to have a pool in my backyard so I could dive in at any given moment and swim laps. I'd much rather do… Continue
Let them eat cake!
So tomorrow is my co-workers birthday and I am her birthday buddy which means I'm in charge of bringing the cake. The good thing is that she is also a weight watcher and the bad thing is that she is addicted to chocolate and caramel. UGGGG, How am I going to get beyond this and still lose this week is beyond me but then my creativity kicked in.
I remembered about the cola cake recipe that has been discussed in my meetings several times and figured out a way to do something that is a lot better t… Continue
