I lost 6.6 pounds in the past 2 weeks!! That's a total of 12.2 in 4 weeks. Very excited!!

Well - I'm nervous to weigh in tomorrow. I've had a crazy two weeks. I haven't been as diligent about counting my points. I think I've lost a couple pounds since I weighed in 2 weeks ago. I just finished my period and feel like I've been starving to death and therefore eating more. I hate it! But, although I haven't been purposely exercising...I've been wearing my pedometer and with the tea party last weekend...I have been at the church and had between 15,000 - 23,000 steps every day. Today mom came up and helped me clean and I ended up with about 13 or 14k. But I was so tired that I was a huge slacker and didn't want to cook for the entire family...so we ordered pizza. I'm hoping to go tomorrow and then be motivated again. I really need some dinner ideas for the whole family. Lunchs are fine because it's just me. Dinners are hard cooking for everyone.

Fresh Start

Well, it is almost 5:30 am and I am up to go walk. I have had such a hard time getting back on track and staying motivated the last month. I have maintained my weight and not gained, so it could be a lot worse. I had another shape scan done last Thursday at Curves. This is a machine that measures your resting metabolic rate, lean body mass, body fat, and tells you exactly how many calories you should be eating to lose. Since I had lost some, I knew the number of calories I needed had probably decreased. It had. Seeing the numbers helped to get me motivated to keep going. I also weighed and took my measurements. Jack's first birthday is in two months and I have a college class reunion in a couple months. I really want to lose more before those two events. So today is the day! I'm getting started again!

Well, I got another 5 point sticker Saturday. I've lost 10.8 pounds! Last week I lost 3.6 - I have no idea how. I'm really excited - I think it's true that you have to go to the meetings - it really pushes me to stick to the plan and lose weight every week. I have an inital goal of 21 pounds, so I have about 11 to go.

Went to weight watchers tonight. Lost 5.6 pounds. I was very excited. It is really encouraging going to the meetings. It was motivating for me to lose that much weight after I had done so bad for three days. It made me really realize how important it is to stick with it even when I screw up.

I go to weigh in tonight at WW. Never did go to the meeting in Burlington Thursday. We didn't even get into town until about 2 pm and three of the four meetings were already over. Fri, Sat and Sun I went completely off the diet. Well - pretty much I just ate what I wanted for meals. I didn't snack much, if at all. But I got right back on track on Monday. So I'm disappointed that I screwed up but was happy that I got right back on because usually I'd be mad at myself and then give up.

This week has gone well, although I almost caved last night because I wanted HyVee Chinese sooooo badly.

Went to my weight watchers meeting Saturday and had lost .8 pounds. 7.2 pounds total now. I know it's only been 3 weeks, but it sure feels like it's coming off very very slowly.
I had a bbq Saturday night and did very good. I bought Veggie burgers - worth 1 point - and it was actually pretty good. I got Village Hearth buns - worth 1 point and used a slice of cheese so my dinner was only 4 points. ANd with the tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup and mustard I was full from just that. I made a dessert to take and it was really good - 3 points a piece. I took a box of angle food cake mix, mixed in a large can of crushed pineapple, baked it and put fat free cool whip on top - then refrigerated. I don't usually like pineapple a WHOLE lot, but this was really good, and everyone loved it - even though most of them said they don't like pineapple either. Any way, I'm starting on my 4th week now. I'm still motivated, so that's good.
