Why, hello there....This week has been a good week exercise wise for me but as for my weight, I only lost .6 pounds. Why is it so easy to put on the ton-age but it's a killer getting it off? At least I'm not up so that is a plus. I really didn't write track what I ate that closely so this week I need to do that. I'm not giving up and I want to continue this mission I am on.
Superbowl Sunday, we ate pretty healthy but I had a few coldies and I know that doesn't help with losing the lbs. I went on some great walks and fit in my exercise so I have to celebrate and not sabotage myself. My brain always wants to say, screw it....eat what you want. My butt however, says please make me smaller....I think I'll go with what my butt has to say. I do notice that I have more energy and my muffin tops seem to be shrinking.
So in total, I have lost around 6 pounds and my pants just fit normal now. I must have been busting at the seams before dropping the 6, jeesh!
My goal this week is to stick to the program and track my points better....Should be easy, right?

Weigh in Thursday
So, I said that I would post even if I gained or lost some poundage this week, I am happy to say that I'm down 2.8 pounds this week. That brings my total to 5.8 pounds lost.
I even went to Disneyland and had a girls night out and I still dropped some of my girth. One thing I did is, if I knew I was going to indulge, I would go on an extra walk and one day I even did a run/walk thing.
For me, I tend to think that I don't have enough time to cram a walk/run in and I make excuses. I ignored that voice in my head that said, just kick back, read and have your coffee while waiting for your daughter at ballet. I'm glad I just went for it. I even managed to get my hubby to go on another long walk with me later that day. He is in the same boat as I am and he is in a good frame of mind to get it off!
My leader at Weight Watchers had a great point today: DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU ARE AT YOUR GOAL!!! It's so true and I have to keep telling myself that the food will always be there. There are always going to be doughnuts and chocolate around! My health is more important than the taste of something sugary or greasy. Another thing I am learning is to eat healthy 80% of the time and the other 20% is a little flexing room. I did cheat a little, beer at Disneyland and the girls night, but I didn't sabotage myself. I just got right back on the horse and made better choices.
I am so tired of beating myself up every time I walk past a mirror or have my picture taken. I don't recognize this puffy chick that looks back at me. I seriously talk trash to myself when I walk past a mirror. I say things like, "Hey keep up the great work, fat ass" or "Just how big are you going to get before you do something about it?!" Lots of times I do a Gah! or just simply make a gagging noise. I need to make positive comments when I do a good job. I tend to still rag on myself even if I take a walk, either I didn't do it long enough or fast enough. That's going to be a goal this week, positive thoughts and not beating myself up. I also have been good about writing the things I eat down and cut way back on the adult beverages.
So the goal this week: Not beating my self up
Tracking what I eat
More Movement
Wish me luck...I need it!

I'm So Beyond Ready!
Hi, my name is Lisa and I so need to loose the poundage! I joined Weight Watchers a little over 3 weeks ago, the first week I rocked it, gained a pound last week. I have to admit, I had book club that week and it should really be called Wine Club. They day after I weighed in, the scale said I was down again. WTH? I decided to blog about my struggle and hopefully it will hold me more accountable for my actions.
I did go to Disneyland this weekend, I tried to make better food choices but the scale says that I may have gained a little. This morning I was waiting for my daughter at ballet class and decided to get out and walk/run for 25 minutes. At first my brain said, 25 minutes isn't enough time to do anything, then my big butt said, why sure it is! I did it and I will continue to sneak in more and more and quit making excuses! Putting on a Pedometer really let me know that I have been sitting on my back side way too much!
Drinking also helps to lock on the weight and lose control of what I eat. This mommy will be cutting back on the hooch and moving more while eating less. I love good food and wine but I have the rest of my life to indulge. I will be forty in less than two months and I don't want to stay on the path that I'm on. I want this year to be the healthier me. The thought of Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension just doesn't sound that good to me.
I will weigh in on Thurs, wish me luck! I promise to post even if I gain...or better yet, if I lose!!!
