Something New

Several people have mentioned me using more of my allowance pts. I was afraid that I was too close to my goal to use many. However, after a few comments from the Hubby this week I decided to use some. I stayed as close to my DP as possible but went over a few everyday. I also ate breakfast and worked out six days straight. I was so nervous for my meeting this morning I just knew that because I had went over my DP's that I had gained. I got on the scale and WOW.... I lost 2.2 lbs this week. I was sooo happy. Here is to another great week in WW land. :)

Single Digit

Whhooohooo I am now a single digit chick. I went shopping for jeans since my last post. I was in a sz. 10 and they were always slipping down. So I went shopping and decided to try a sz. 8. They fit. I was a little nervous that the tens were slipping due to being wore out. But when I tried on the eights they fit like a glove. I haven't wore a single digit pair of jeans in almost 5 yrs. I can't tell you how great it feels to finally get here. My confidence is so much higher. I still have over 10 lbs. to loose to reach my overall goal but with my new jeans I know that I am one step closer to getting there. :)

Decisions, Decisions?!

What an awesome weekend. Saturday we went to the Tri-State Fair parade and then that evening we went to the fair. It was a lot of fun. This being the first yr. my kids rode any of the rides. I know your wondering if I ate there. Yes I did!! I had a corndog and a coke for dinner. Then later that night I had a deep fried S’more. Did I feel guilty? Not at all. I had worked out five days in a row before the fair and ate clean every single day. We were at the fair for almost five hrs. so I got in plenty of walking. Sunday I didn’t do a workout but I did stay within my DPPT. Then today I got up and did all three miles on my 3 mile DVD. I have planned out my pts. For the day and am feeling great.

I have also been asked to become a fitness coach for Beachbody. I have spent the last day and a half researching every aspect and trying to decide if I should try it. I just can’t make up my mind. I think it would be a good investment and would help motivate me to keep up with my fitness. However, I don’t know if I can put in the $$. It isn’t a lot to become a coach but we are already pretty tight. I will just have to give it some thought. Here is to another wonderful Weight Watchers week. Go me!!

Can I get a Whoop Whoop!!!

I am super stoked today. For the last almost 2 yrs. I have been trying to loose weight. The lowest I was able to get to was in the low 150 range. I got so discouraged that I thought maybe that is where I was just suppose to be, and that my goal of 135 wasn’t right for my body. Then I gained 10 lbs. back and was really depressed. A few months ago my mom suggested that I join WW. So I did. I love it, however, after the new wore off I wasn’t as committed to my points and exercise. Then I hit the low 150’s and wasn’t going anywhere. I was beginning to get very discouraged again. Last week I recommitted to the plan. I stayed as close to my daily target as possible and started exercising a little every single day. Today I went and weighed in. 148.4 - WHOOOHOOO!!! I have not weighed this small amount in five years. In just this one week I lost 2.2 lbs. I am floating on cloud nine. I am so happy in fact that I almost squealed in the parking lot when I left the building. Next week I will have been 16 weeks in a row and will receive my first charm. Lots of wonderful things ahead for me in this journey. Not only that but I am now ONLY 13 lbs. away from my overall goal. :) Heck yeah!!

New Goal

Today I have really been on top of my game. I got up had breakfast and then jumped right into my devotional. As soon as I was finished I grabbed my sneakers and put them on. I knew that if I waited I wouldn’t workout. I got the kids dressed and then hit the elliptical. I got in 2.75 miles and was sweating like a dog. As for my food intake I am going to end the day within my point range. I hope by Friday’s weigh in I see some progress from this week. I am setting a goal to get to the 140’s by the end of Sept. I am very close but keep yo-yoing back and forth at the low 150’s. I hope that since I gave myself a couple of weeks that I will get over this hump and be in a range that I have not seen in 6 yrs. Here is to a new goal and another new outlook on my journey.

Re-committing Myself

I have really lost my mojo when it comes to exercise. It takes everything I have inside to get up and do anything. I have recently started following a few pgs. On fb and that seems to be helping. I am still loving WW however, I have been using too many pts. And the weight loss has slowed down quite a bit. I have got to get back on track. I am doing a little better this week. I am trying to focus on each meal and on my power foods so that I am not hungry and so that I am not getting cravings. I will def. have to learn how to use my weekly allowance pts. It all just takes time. This morning I did get in a great workout on the elliptical. I did 5 min. at a resistance of 4 and then 5 min. at a resistance of 5. I did that for 15 min. and had a great sweat going on. I am also wearing my pedometer so that I can get in my 10,000 steps today. Haven’t done that in a long time. I will get to my goal. I am not giving up!!
