I did well with the tracking for about two days. I think my tracker is blank since Friday. I did excercise almost every day over the past week... I'm now halfway through Season 1 of Six Feet Under from watching on the treadmill. On tap tonight: step aerobics on the Wii... I can do that while watching the Caps woop the Penguins. :)

Suckage. I finally dragged my fat ass to Weight Watchers today. I knew it wouldn't be pretty. But I need to go. And I need to start tracking again. That's my problem. I've been doing the exercise. I need to work on the eating. As in, how about I only eat when I'm hungry!?! That might work.
So, I got some trackers and I've written down everything I ate today. I'm doing well. I have 14 points left for the day. Here's hoping THIS time is the time I truly re-dedicate to doing this... because my clothes really don't fit anymore and pretty soon I'm going to be relegated to wearing burlap sacks.

Finally! Some progress. My leader asked me what I've done different. Nothing, really. More situps. Slightly more exercise. I haven't changed my eating much. Will try to do more of the same this week!
Correction to last week: The person who weighed me in was obviously math-challenged. I actually gained 0.4 pounds last week (not 0, as I had reported).

Another disappointing week.
The negatives: I didn't lose any weight; I didn't track; my pants are still bordering on obscenely tight.
The positives: I didn't gain any weight; I got on the treadmill the last two nights; I've been doing situps.

I didn't want to go. I knew I'd gained instead of lost. But I went. And now I'm sitting here eating peanut M&Ms. Gee, I wonder why I'm failing? My will power needs a reality check. Maybe I'll send my motivation right along with it. I did run/power walk on the treadmill last night... there's one positive in an otherwise depressing week of Weight Watchers.

Well, I went to the Noon Weight Watchers meeting today.
Hello, my name is ... and I'm a slacker with a litany of excuses as to why I haven't been here since mid-September...
I got a new book and some trackers, and I actually stayed for the meeting. I think the Noon meeting will work better for me than the 9:45am since I don't get to work until 9:05 or 9:10 Monday through Wednesday (my days to get the kids to school in the morning). I've blocked out the Noon meeting timeframe on my calendar for the rest of the year. I hope to God I can reach my goal weight before then. I'm tired of paying these people!!

Or maybe I should say non-accountability...
I haven't been to a Weight Watchers meeting since I don't know when. Before Halloween at best. More likely it was sometime in September. Most Wednesdays (at least up until when I had my surgery) I had plans to go, and every time, something prevented me from going. Yes, some weeks the reason was paper thin, but many weeks it was due to a conflict or unavoidable task at work.
Before last night, I hadn't worked out in months. I hadn't been on the treadmill for at least a month prior to my surgery because it was too uncomfortable. And I haven't been on the treadmill since my surgery because it was too uncomfortable.
But I did get on the treadmill last night for 30 minutes. I didn't walk as fast I usually do, and the foot was a little achey afterward, but I did it. And that's a start. :)
Tomorrow I intend to go to Weight Watchers. Me and all the new years resolutioners. Ugh. I haven't been there in so long, I wouldn't be shocked if I don't recognize anyone or if the leader has changed.
It's an uphill battle always. But moreso now. I got a note from my doctor in December to increase my goal weight by five pounds from what I was aiming for before. At my new goal weight I am happy and comfortable in my clothes. Unfortunately, with the 8-10 pounds I gained since September, even that new goal weight is 20 pounds away.
But I need to do something. The supply of clothes that fit comfortably has dwindled rapidly. And I like my clothes!
So... back to Weight Watchers (which I've been paying for this entire time and not using), and reacquaintance with both my treadmill and my Wii Fit. Those are the goals.

I am really sucking at this whole Weight Watchers thing as of late. I haven't tracked in I don't know how long, I haven't been exercising regularly, and I'm just not feeling good about myself in general, which makes me feel blah about the whole thing. BUT, I hope to get back on track.... School starts in a few weeks. Hockey is ramping back up. More of a regular schedule in the house again... hopefully that will help me.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Hubby reached lifetime two weeks ago!!

I didn't go to weigh in last week because I was too swamped at work. The week before I gained. I don't remember what the exact numbers were, so I'm not posting the usual stats. I'll get back in the groove next week with the posting.
Hubby has successfully maintained for five weeks now, I think. Maybe four. I think he has two more weigh-ins before he becomes a lifetime member!!

In my time between jobs, I didn't post for whatever reason... the following is a conglomeration of two weeks of weigh-ins. I don't expect this week's weigh-in on Wednesday to be so great, but maybe I'll be surprised...

Not a banner week for me. Kinda slacked off on exercising this week... Hopefully starting my new job on Monday will get me back into a "normal" routine... that and getting the treadmill serviced on Saturday so we can actually use it again!

Good week! Down 1+ pound! Only the second time I've lost a pound or more in a week since I started back to meetings in February. Motivation to continue.
My leader's discussion today centered around a garden theme. The Mary, Mary quite contrary nursery rhyme more specifically. (Her name is Mary, so she thought that was cute.) Negative thoughts, etc. She closed with a quote I thought was good:
Your life is your garden.
Your thoughts are the seeds.
If your life isn't awesome,
you've been watering the weeds.

Hubby didn't gain or lose this week. He was exactly the same as last week at his weigh in. Have I told you the best thing about his weight loss? He's STOPPED SNORING! That may be the best benefit of the whole process!! ;-P

Lost this week, but thought I was on track to lose more. Of course, any loss is a good loss, but I think perhaps drinking a bottle of water half hour before weigh-in is not a good thing. Not enough time to process...
