For Life

gosh it is so nice to be back. My mind has been all over the place, but now I am back. I was allowing life to distract me from what is most important…my well being.  I look forward to reading the blogs and being inspired…as always.

this is a dup of my board posting
I am lost and can’t seem to get it together. I am so sad. I had been doing well…posting here…attending my meetings and loosing. THEN the HOLIDAYS came…my goal was to maintain…which i did, but now it has been ages since i have been to a meeting( and […]

I am excited to try the different flavors of the popcorn (Simply Salted, Buttery Garlic and Buttery Salt & Cracked Pepper)….Im pretty sure the one i will enjoy the most will be Garlic.

i am heading off to the 1st ww meeting that my group has had since the week before x-mas…i know it is going to be packed, but i am hoping the new commer (word?) energy will be just what I need…stay tuned

I am feeling so good today b/c I am prepared and in the zone(i think). My breakfast and lunch healthy ww compliant and here at work with me.

I am so afraid to go for my weigh in. I am scared to see the number… to have an idea how much damage I have done in 6 weeks. I could write all night for regarding what I have been through this month. All of it for me has come down to I have […]

Gosh, I am so far off plan I can barely see my way back. I am so stressed right now. I know I have to reconnect with the community, weightwatchers.com and my meetings. I have be on buss travel which is bad enough, but not impossible i need to stop taking the easy way out. I […]

I had such a good time at my class reunion (that is me in the silver).  I was not at my under 200lb goal, but so what.  I am still down 19lbs and so proud…next goal 11/17…Girls w/e in Atlantic City (my friend’s b-day).

I need to focus on the short term goal(s). I have been disconnected and not 100% on plan since…well, ever! But especially since labor day.  I think i have been able to loose the 19 lbs I have w/o exercise and 100% committed b/c my body was never really suppose to be that big, so I […]

I tick, tick , tick towards my 10% goal.  I am 3 lbs away. Good Grief I can’t wait to be under 200lbs. Really with all the eating I have done. I am am thrilled I lost. I was counting on a 4-7lb gain

ugh i realize i cant just blog when things are good. it is important to feel connected even when I am out of control. I say out of control, but not really. I am afraid of my weigh in, b/c I have not been good, but what is done is done. I have some many […]

I need the schedule so I can get back on plan. this weekend I was a eating like a mad women. The poor cat had to keep moving so that I would not eat her.
BUT! Today I started working out like I planned. 60 mins on the treadmill, 60 belly dancing and 25 mins  walk back and forth […]

My WW food scale broke this morning. i had to run out an get one from bed bath and beyond ($33.00) …I was so upset i cried…This is the 2nd WW scale I’ve owned ($40.00). I am very disappointed. The 1st one I bought from my meeting when I got home…it would not turn on. I […]

Oh boy for all the damage I have done over the w/e up .4 is not bad. My leader made a good point. It is all relative. She asked “what did you consider bad b/4 the plan?”. She is right. even being “bad this w/e comes no where close to me being bad in the past. […]

how much weight can one person gain in two day? The thing is it does not matter. I am going in for my weigh in tomorrow. I am going to own my gain. I have 5 week…hopefully I will be down 10 lbs before my reunion.   I know part of the prob is that I am […]

 I had a big convo with my b-friend yesterday…It went well…and then we went to dinner to a hibachi place. I like seeing the food being made, but it sadden me to see how much butter was used. I gave 75% of my food to the b-friend and I ate until i was no longer […]

anticipating a problem. My b-friend and I have been fighting like cats and dogs and we are going to have a talk this w/e. So, here is the prob. when I am upset (which I am) i don’t eat…I can’t eat…It so hard. Last night I struggled to get my food down…I started eating several […]

Oh Lawd, I missed my reg Monday weigh in, so i went to a meeting near my job today. I say “oh lawd”, but really I am not upset. I have 4 days until my reg weigh in …I am thinking at worst I will break even.  Not to mention…I did not have my weigh in outfit […]

OK in order…the good…I took a hour long bike ride today that seemed like 5 hours. My legs don’t even hurt(yet)…I guess, I really don’t know b/c I can’t feel them.  Oh my goodness. My b-friend and I rode with another couple (that ride all the time). It was way to hard for me for […]

So, last night I decided to post pictures of myself. It is really having an adverse effect on me. I feel sad and depressed…I guess I should be glad that I did not take the photos 18 lbs ago. I can’t believe how big I am. I mean there was no denying it once it […]

Well, I have lost a total of 18.4 lbs …I am so happy …I am hoping that next week I will hit my 10% goal, but I am 4lbs from that goal.  This really amazing to me.  I can do this plan and it works!!! It is painless 95% of the time and I am […]

I had a week of on and off the plan…I had decided not to weigh in tonight,but when I got to the meeting i thought it was best to own it.  I was so scared to see the damage I had done, but I broke even!  I’ll take it! I got to get with it. My class reunion […]

I have my WW meeting come monday. I am getting back on plan and I am not going to make excuses for me. I am going to get my work outs in. I have a class reunion 9/28 and there is zero reason that I can’t be under 200lbs and at my height (5′10) I may […]

Hi I have a sinus infection. I don’t feel like eating a thing.  Today I ate yogurt, an apple, 1/2 cup of soup, popcorn. I still have 16 points, but my throat really hurts. Plus the worst of it all is that I am going to miss my meeting tonight

I had my weigh in today….before I give the results let me say …Last week was not a perfect one. I ate out 3 times!!!! on Tues…Ruby tues salad bar with 2 ruby minis (w/o bread), Thursday, baseball game I had a hot dog and Cracker Jacks and Sat. I had sushi. Today…I had my […]

Hey I have lost 11.4lbs, BUT I don’t see it. I tell you …If it wasn’t for the weekly weigh in I would not believe I have lost a thing.

thyme (just a sprinkle on each breast)

Ok, here I am yet again…Another Monday. I am due for a weigh in in 56 mins!!!  I really look forward to my weigh ins and I LOVE the meetings…AHHH, ok, I had a pretty good week. I had my sweet neice Kennedy’s

2nd b-day on sat. I made a point to get to the party […]

My leader shared with us that her WW  recpt never had a gain during her weight loss journey.  I thought that might be an interesting goal… Plateaus don’t count, but I am going to do all I can to not back slide. Lose or hold steady.

going to weigh in today. I hope it goes well, but the truth be told I need to get the exercise going.  Regardless of what the weigh in results are…the exercise most be started
UPDATE: I went for my weigh in.  - 2.8 lbs so I have now lost a total of 9.2lbs.  I got to […]

UGH, I made achart to show my progress and help my future progress, BUT it wont work.  This blog thing is way over my head. I just can’t be fancy. Oh well. Yesterday was a good day. I need to start reg exercise.
