Woo Hoo

I lost 4.6 pounds this week!!! I was shocked. I actually used up all my flex points in the beginning of the week instead of on the weekend. I don't know if that helped or not, it shouldn't but I had a really emotional week.

For the first time since starting WW this time around I struggled with not getting enough to eat. Only because I was eating emotionally. I went over a few points Saturday night (not having any flex points left) and I didn't even track my points on Sunday but I did kind of mentally try to keep track and just was careful.

What a wonderful surprise this morning. I am very proud of myself. I still only exercised once but I think I am going to do the cardio workouts at the karate place my boys go to. They do a class for adults but it's not really karate, just some of the moves as exercise and it doesn't look too hard. I met a lady there last week and she said she had been doing it for 2 weeks and had already lost 13 pounds, without changing her diet. I think they have a family rate and since my boys are already in it I thought maybe it wouldn't cost too much more. They let you try it out for two weeks free.

Yay me!!

One more

Another successful week. I lost 1.4 pounds this week. I am proud of myself. I am on my fourth week. It took me 15 years to put on my weight. Taking a year or two to take it off is no big deal. I think I am going to step up my exercise this week. I have only been exercising once or twice. Once last week. So this week, my goal is 3 times. So yay for another successful week!!

That's the longest

This is the longest I have ever stuck with any dietary change. I have successfully completed two weeks on Weight Watchers now. Yay!! On Friday, I decided to splurge a little with my points , because I have an extra 49 for the week, anyway I guess I overindulged a bit too much. It's was like I couldn't stop all day. But I still stayed within my allotted and I lost one pound this week.

I'm very happy with myself. I am feeling good about it.

5-10 minutes

Today a friend of mine came over to exercise with me. We decided to do Jillian's 30 day shred. It's about a 20 minute workout but it's a GOOD workout. Well it's been so long since either of us has done it that we made it 5-10 minutes in. We pretty much did the warm up, some squats and some crunches. That was about it. But it felt good. In fact, I had so much energy that I moved all my furniture around in my living room and got all the dusting and vacuuming done. Plus I even cleaned my windows. A little more organizing and I'll be done. It's a good day, even if nothing else gets done. Now off to eat lunch :))

Great week

So they have changed weight watchers to a points plus system now where they calculate in protein and carbohydrates now. I love it! I actually get 38 points a day and and extra 49 flex points for the week. Some things end up being more points than they used to but this is soooo much better. I love it. The first week was sooo easy. I still had flex points at the end of the week that I didn't use. I lost 2.4 pounds and didn't feel deprived at all! I pretty much had everything I wanted just not as much as I would have. It was great. Today I went to lunch with my niece. I started to look at the breakfast menu and order something like bisquits and gravy, bacon, eggs etc. My normal. I was sure that would be a ton of points so I ended up ordering a grilled chicken sandwhich AND I only ate half. I was satisfied and felt great! Yay!!!!! Successful first week and successful start to the second week. Oh, and I took a walk three times last week.

Back on again

Ok, so now I am going to get back on WW. My hubby too. So far, it's been a pretty good week. We have far more goals in mind this time and there are more reasons to lose than just the "I'm fat" thing. It's more motivating now. So when I weighed in on Monday (that's when we started) I weighed a whopping 244.2 lbs.

I am grateful for the opportunity to get up every day and try again. Isn't that what life is about?

Can't think of a title...

So it's been a little over a week since starting WW. I lost about a pound the first week. I didn't really follow it over the weekend and have had a hard time getting back into it this week. But I'm going to keep trying. I'm proud of my husband. He didn't really follow it over the weekend either but he keeps trying as well.
Jami - The Dr. thought it was just my bowels working overtime too but I can tell you that I have no pain now except when I eat red meat. I ate it a few days ago and the pain was so bad I had to take a leftover Vicodin. I'm not sure what it is. The cat scan was fine. No worries.
There's only one more thing for me to try when it comes to my weight loss adventure. Something that will go along with WW.
Prayer.
So I will start each morning with a prayer for His help. Obviously I can't do it by myself but I know it is really important for me to get healthy and being 100lbs. over weight is NOT healthy.
I know I can trust Him to help me. He's the best!
