Past Lunch

Yeah, I made it to lunch with no snack! I had my water (3 cups) and a small lunch (2 wieners & 2 oz of cheese). Not much and I will probably add some carbs here in just a minute. But so far so good. My biggest hurdle is making it to lunch without a snack.

OK, well, I broke down and added some Progresso soup to my lunch meal (2 points). I was still a little hungry. I thought this would be better than some chips of chocolate!

Now, I have to make it to supper without a snack. Thank goodness we try to eat around 6!

Keeping Track

I am keeping track of my points on WW's web site, but I decided I MUST make myself accountable for everything I eat. There will be some short post and I apologize for that. But after all, I am keeping this blog for me!

I have already had 1 of my waters this morning and working on the next. I did not get my egg I had hoped for for breakfast. I had to opt for a grab and go breakfast bar. Two points. I am starting to want something to eat, but I know I can wait for lunch. I HAVE THE POWER TO WAIT FOR LUNCH.

The Story of My Life!

It seems that the consistent story of my adult life has been, I have got to get this weight off! So here I am again!

First of all, thanks to all of you that have continued to check in on me and leave sweet, encouraging remarks. Please keep it up! I always need the support.

I am going to try this again. I am going to try to count those points starting in the morning! I CAN DO THIS! I WILL DO THIS!

I want to do it for Frank, Katie and Mattie May. But I have to do it for me, for my body. I know I am killing myself with all this extra weight. Just walking in the door tonight, my knee almost gave way. Now there is this huge bump and every time I take a step, there is pain. My heart does not need all this extra fat around it. I want to walk up the stairs at work without getting winded.

And on top of everything else, my mom gave me a real pretty suit last Christmas that I would really like to be able to wear this fall!

So keep checking on me and giving me support. But most importantly, pray for me! I will be praying for me and all of you facing this same giant.

MMMMMMMMM (big sigh)

Well, I still haven't made it back to WW. Sunday we had Mattie May and Monday I had an appointment at the chiropractor (more excuses I know!). I am thinking this Sunday I will be able to go back and get back on track. I would really like to get started back before the holiday weekend coming up. I feel like if I am not actually weighing in, there is no reason to eat right. That is not a good example for Katie or Mattie May! I have got to get my head on straight, I know. I have got to listen to what is right! Keep praying for me. I know God is talking, I just have to start listening!

OH MY!

It has been almost two months since I have posted here. I don't know, I was struggling, then sick, back problems and vacation. All excuses I know! When I was sick, all I could eat was chicken and rice soup and all I could drink was Sprite. How any person could gain weight on a diet like that is beyond me, but I managed. Then three weeks into the sickness and I get prescribed Prednisone! Yikes! Talk about swelling up. On time I looked in the mirror and declared I looked like Violet! You know, the spoiled little girl on Willie Wonka that chews some gum she is not supposed to and literally swells into a balloon! That was what I saw in the mirror.

Well, I have new inspiration. Not only am I better (about 95%) but Katie wants to start eating better! She has gained a little bit of weight (not much) but has also started a new job that requires her to sit at a computer for eight hours a day. She wants to get on the right track of eating and exercising properly before she falls into a rut like me (she didn't say that but I know what she means). She can do WW for no fees through her job, so starting next week, I am getting back on that track, but this time with a buddy living right under my roof!!!

I will update the weight when I go weigh in which will be on Monday. I know I have gained, but I really have tried! Start praying for me!

I'm Back on Track

It has been three weeks since my last post and three weeks of struggling. I have gained weight and missed one weigh in. But I woke up this morning with a new attitude! I am back on track and no matter what that scale says this afternoon I will not let it get me down. I have eaten nothing today that I should not have! I have the rest of the afternoon to go and I refuse to put anything in my mouth that I shouldn't! I am going to celebrate these tiny little victories because they are great milestones to me! I will be in those capris pants I own before the end of the summer!

:I

When I updated my weight this morning, this is the emoticon i got :| That's it! no frown, no smiley. Just :| A blank stare! OK, maybe I am not doing to great in this weight loss endeavor (+.2 for the week) but a blank stare!!! Give me a break!!!
