Weight Watchers Works!

I am feeling pretty good about my success so far.  I weighed in today and I'm down another 2.2 lbs!  So that's a total of 17.4 lbs.  My one regret this week was that I didn't get to the gym as much as I had planned to.  Although I did go on some great half hour walks with my dogs this week.  It is finally feeling like Spring here and it is awesome to be able to walk outside without the fear of slipping on ice.  It is a bit very muddy though so of course by the time we get back from our walk Joey my light colored Golden Retriever is full of mud.  He is getting up in years (he will be 10 in July) so he kind of drags behind by the end of the walk and I swear he just plows through every puddle!  Kayla, my husky cross very delicately avoids most mud and puddles.  Funny how different they are.  It's nice to get outside again.  I have 4 days off now so I'm going to try to get some Spring cleaning done.  It will be nice to open the windows and let the fresh air in!  Happy Spring :-)

Weigh in and some challenges

On Friday I weighed in at WW and I lost 2 more lbs!  So that's a total of 11.4 lbs down.  I'm very happy with that it feels good.  My jeans are starting to feel loose too.  I'm not quite down a size but getting close.  I dug through my closet and found a pair of 16's (I'm in an 18 now) and they fit me but not real comfortable yet.  I have had some challenges food wise this weekend and I'm happy to say I faced them all head on and I won!!  Last night it was supper at my parents and there was Hash brown casserole on the menu which I didn't eat and then ice cream cake for dessert!  My Mom wanted me to cut the cake (because for some reason I usually do it) and I told her "no, since I'm not having any I don't want to be tempted".  It actually didn't bother me too much.  In some ways it felt good to feel the power over the food.  Today 2 of my nieces and I went to the Justin Bieber movie (very good, I recommend it!).  I took my own snacks in my big purse!  I popped a bag of 100 calorie popcorn and a chocolate Fiber One bar and brought along a bottle of water.  I munched along with the girls and didn't feel deprived at all.  Saved some $$ too!  Go me!!

Weigh In Day!

2.4 lbs down!!  Not a huge loss but I'm happy with that.  I know that I did everything right and without any exercise at all I think I did pretty good.  I had a good day today.  I went out for lunch with my Mom and sister to Chili's.  I had a grilled chicken sandwich with a salad.  It was very good.  I counted and tracked the points and then I had a salad with crab meat with supper.  I am feeling good about my loss and my day!  Go me :-)

Monday morning weigh in

I am excited to say my Monday morning weigh in was good! 222.5 lbs. So that's a 6.5 lb loss for the week. I am happy about that but I must say it was all about the food choices. I only got to the gym 2 times. I caught a bad cold that has me down for the count. I stayed home from work today. I am feeling like crap. I had some blood tests done last week and this morning had a call from my Dr's office. The nurse said my cholesterol was high and my Dr wants me to go on a low fat diet and start to exercise. What a coincidence!! So I guess I knew that it was time to do something about this body of mine. I have a complete physical with my Dr. on Oct 14. I hope to have dropped a few more pounds by then.
