Yikes – I need to update you all more often!

I’m still plugging along on Weight Watchers and since my last post, I have lost 2.5 pounds! I lost 1 pound last week and 1.5 pounds at this week’s weigh in. I’m now down 8.5 pounds! Exciting, right? Well – it is. lol

I make a promise to myself to NOT PEEK at the scale at all until next Monday morning. I promise. I always peek and my weight fluctuates so much that it can discourage me. So this week I will be good to myself and not allow myself to be discouraged.

Here goes week 6!

Sorry to only post about WW.  I promise to add more content that doesn’t revolve around me being fat.

Week 3 weigh in came as quite the surprise.  It was Thanksgiving week and although I made good choices – you never know.

I’m proud to let you know that I am down another 2 lbs!  Bringing my total weight loss for 3 weeks to 6 pounds!

I’ve got a lot of work to get done before my kickboxing class at 5:30.   Adios!

Today was my 2nd weigh in.  I was nervous because I’d peeked a few times during the week but I’m happy to report that I…

Lost 1 pound!

I know 1 pound doesn’t seem like a lot but it’s a slow process and each pound counts.  Heck, each half pound counts.  That puts me at a 4 lb loss with 36 left to go.

This week I plan to drink more water and get exercise in!  Also, we are going to run 3 miles on Thanksgiving morning and eat yummy food but I promise to be sensible.  We gotta treat ourselves, right?  I just can treat myself without pigging out!

It’s been one week since I started my “diet” and Wednesday will mark my one week on Weight Watchers and I’m excited to tell you that I am down THREE POUNDS!

It has been fairly easy to stay within my point range.  I do stress when we go out to eat but I just try my best to make smart choices.  We went to Cheesecake Factory the other night and I tried their chicken salad for weight conscious people and it was really good and 590 calories.  Usually 590 calories is a lot for one meal for me but with all my other options, that was the best for the situation.

I’ve discovered new meals to make for us.  My new favorite is to throw together a spinach salad with chicken, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, apple pieces and raspberry vinaigrette.  It is delicious!  I’m always looking for new meals to throw into the mix!

This week’s goal is to get in a few runs before Sunday!

Today, I signed up again for Weight Watchers. I used to be on WW a few years ago and had GREAT success! I’ve tried it a few times but gave up right away. I’m trying to promise myself to stick with it this time.

I’ve set up my account and am all ready. I started today and was able to get in an hour walk this afternoon with Chris. I also made a trip to the grocery store and loaded up on tons of good & healthy foods.

I’m hoping to lose 40 lbs but I’m going to just see how this goes. Wish me luck!
