I’m down another 1.2 pounds!  I’m very happy with that too.  WW meeting was good tonight.  We were discussing activity and excuses we may use to NOT exercise, and it seems like, here lately, that’s all I’ve been doing.  Making up excuses not to exercise.  I’m going to try get my act together, and do this.  And don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t get ANY exercise.  Since my hubby’s been off due to his casino closing because of the rising flood water where I live, we’ve been staying busy, cleaning and doing outside work, so I know that is a form of exercising.  I would really like to get a piece of equipment though, or some type of exercise video, maybe that will motivate me.  We’ll see…would love to hear some suggestions or ideas as far as that goes.

Guess I’m off to go spend some time with the fam!!  I’m out!!

Still going strong! I continue to drop each time I visit weight watchers, and I’m ecstatic!! And tonight’s meeting was so great, I am so glad that I switched to this one. The WW Leader does an excellent job. I don’t know, it just seems like a much more comfortable setting to me. The people are so open with each other, and tonight there was a woman, probably not much older than I am (maybe mid 40’s), that had 3 heart attacks prior to going on WW, and she told her story of how she decided to start it. Nothing else was working for her, she was also diabetic and was talking insulin several times a day. She said that before starting WW, she was unable to go walking because of her heart, she would just get too out of breath. Well, today she had been on WW for one week and had lost over 6 lbs, and now she requires less insulin during the day, and she’s able to walk a mile a day. It brought tears to my eyes. This woman was so proud of herself, and really seemed to have hope that she would be able to overcome what she had been going through.

Seriously, that’s what I’m scared to death about. Having heart attacks, becoming diabetic, etc. I have four kids, 6 and under, that I need to be around for, and watch grow up. They need their mother and I absolutely refuse to let any of that happen to me! Just hearing her story really opened up my eyes, and gave me another push in the right direction. And also made me realize how much I need the support of this group and the support I get from my readers.

I just want to personally thank everyone that comes here, and gives me those wonderful words of encouragement. It’s really appreciated and needed, so please, keep ‘em coming!

Went to my new WW meeting last night, and I really enjoyed it. It was much more organized, and the people seemed to really feel comfortable talking with each other. It just seemed to be a better support group. And I have great news, according to their scales, I had lost 2 tenths of a pound. Which is perfectly fine with me! I am doing the monthly pass, that includes unlimited meetings, the e-tools online (which I totally love, btw). It was really easy, I ordered it online, printed out my temporary card, and had immediate access to the e-tools. I am now keeping up with my points on the online point tracker, so no more having to write down what I eat. And I’m really diggin’ that! Can’t wait to go to my next meeting!

You just don’t know how good I felt last night when I heard the Weight Watchers rep say that!  I couldn’t believe it!

Yes, I know I’m behind on my Weekly Recap, I’ve just been SUPER busy!  But exciting busy!  I’ve been working on creating & designing a couple of website projects that I’m really excited about.  I can definitely say that I now have a blogging addiction.  I have a total of 4 blogs that I now write on, and I’ve also got another project in the works to start writing on a blog for someone else.  Hoping eventually it will turn into a lucrative venture.  We’ll see….

This week, I am promising to start my walking.  Yes…I know…I’ve made this promise before.  I’m also going to start drinking my water like I was doing in the beginning, and I’m going to try to eat small meals every 3 hours.  That really seemed to be working really well for me, so with the walking figured in, that should really “jump start” my metabolism!

Ok…I’ve got a lot to do….I’m out!

I haven’t had a very good week.  I messed up real bad last night when I broke down and ordered Pizza Hut pizza.  I know, I know…I should kick myself!

I won’t go to say that I just gorged myself on pizza, because I didn’t.  Instead of having one or two slices, I had three.  And it was the Pizza Mia pizzas, so not too bad.  One piece is 5 points, so that’s like 15 points.  And I didn’t go over my weekly points, but still I don’t like to do stuff like that, because I feel like I am reverting back to old habits, you know?  Never a good thing for me.

So far today, I’m good.  I actually slept in late (9AM), so I skipped breakfast.  So I should be ok for the rest of the day.  Going to have a good lunch, Lean Cuisine Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza (much better choice than Pizza Hut, only 7 points), and have a light dinner, maybe a Lean Cuisine Spaghetti and Meat Sauce (5 points).  I should be good to go for weigh in tomorrow, just still slightly nervous, because my scales are showing a one pound gain.  :(  I know, but I’m not going to let it discourage me, and I’m not going to officially claim the gain in my stats, until I weigh tomorrow, since that is my official weigh in day.  Make sense?

Anyway, I’m still motivated, not going to let this get me down, also going to officially start my walking regimen tomorrow.  Wish me luck!!!
