Down 6.8

I've been on this weight loss journey for at least 5 years now. I don't think that I was ever serious before though. I would complain about my weight and eat right for a week or so then go right back to what I was doing.

I joined WW at the end of May and did well for the first 3 weeks, then life got hectic. In all the hoopla I stopped tracking for 2 weeks and gained back 2 pounds. I was not going to get on that roller coaster and decided to go to the meetings that I had been paying for but not attending. I went to my second meeting today and had lost 3.8 pounds. Well, online I'm down 6.8 lbs.

I'm excited and motivated to keep going. I finally feel successful and realize how easy it is to get back on track. The mobile tracking is a godsend. The books are helpful for when I'm running and don't have time to pull out my phone.

We started a fruit and veggie challenge this week. I'm going to put forth the effort to participate, even though that is an area in which I struggle.

Peace

OMG

I've been swamped lately so here's an update. I did a veggie thing for about a week with some tonics and herbs and such from a naturopath. The stuff was nasty but I have to admit that I felt good and had energy. Then the mad rush to finish a class that I was missing a month's worth of assignments for. All good eating went out the window and I haven't been back on the wagon since. smh

Fast forward to last Tuesday. I was at the gym for my daughter's cheer practice and decide to hop on the scale. I don't know what I was smoking but it had me tripping for real. I set it to 170 and hop on. Low and behold, I didn't set it high enough. What?! 178 lbs is what I weigh. That was my max weight when I was pregnant with one of my kids. So I paid my money for Weight Watchers Monthly Pass. I can't attend meetings for another few weeks but the online tools have helped already. No, I haven't stayed under my points but my thinking is changing. I'm much more conscious of what I put in my mouth. A medium banana is 2 points and so is 4 twizzlers. Well, the banana is going to keep me fuller longer so I'll have that.

Sunday starts my new week and I hope to be much better at staying under my goal. We'll see. I still need to find my tape measurer and post that as well since I need to put it on my WW page.
