It's been a while

Well, its been a few weeks since I last posted. Lots going on in my house, but I'm back now. I went to my ww meeting today only to find out that I've gained an eighth of a pound. But do not fret, Aunt Flo is in town for a visit and that explains that. Women sure do get the short end of the stick.

I had a party at work last week and temptation was calling my name. But I didn't answer! Woo!

I signed up for the Race for the Cure 5k run/walk that takes place on March 21st. I'm actually the team captain, so the pressure is on, but I like it because everyone knows what my goal is. I will work my way up to running a little by then. My goal is to at least run the 1 mile run. I'll determine closer to time if I'm up for three miles. I know I can walk it, done it before. But I have a new motivation and new spirit about losing this weight.

Say a prayer for me...the holidays have been hard!

Woohoo!

I went to weigh in today at my meeting place but didn't have time to stay for the meeting since I went to the doctor today...inner ear infection (blah).

I officially lost 3.4 pounds last week! Kerri, my leader, said, "Great job!" I was like, what? Then I looked at my weight card and was so excited! It may not seem like much to some folks, but wow, it made me feel even more motivated to keep doing this.

I've been walking/doing weights when I can during the week and taking the stairs every day. My butt is starting to look great! And want to hear something weird? My shoes are too big. I have no idea what that's about but my two favorite pairs of high, high heels flop around on my feet so much I can't wear them. Maybe the three pounds was in my feet and I'm just working my way up...lol!

One week down...

So, I went to my weightwatchers meeting today. I have lost exactly one pound since I weighed in last Monday. I felt very triumphant! I got three "bravo" stars for coming back for a second week and also for some of the things I did and some of the things I didn't do during Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for meetings because I feel much better after I have been to one and I feel the need to stay on top of things for sure. I get new literature to read while I'm there and it pushes me even more. Tonight really helped.

Now, to drink more water...blech!
