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!!!
Good luck Lisa. I have been feeling pretty crappy about my weight issue lately. So overwelmed by it that it seems there is no way out. Perhaps something along the lines of what you have done here would help me to get started.
