Well weigh in didnt go great I lost .6 pounds. But at least it was a negative I could have gained weight. So I gotta look at it positive right? At least thats what I keep telling myself. Maybe next week (I am hoping and praying) that will be allot more. :) What wishfull thinking is a good thing right?

Must tell these body shop and rental car guys all the PR people that call on my office NO SWEETS. I didnt cheat too bad. One donut wont kill me. But they are sure talking to me from the break room. One of the girls just admitted to me she ate three. Here I am thinking thats 3 less that I will eat. One of the other girls gave one to a customer. Please lord let thosse donuts be GONE. Wishful thinking. :)

OK today is Sunday and it went better because I planned it this morning when I got up. Breakfast, lunch and then dinner. Now I get a Popsicle and then I am done for the day. More structure better results. Except I gotta eat less fiber. Too much broccoli makes for a stomach problem. Ooops don't want to talk about that. But I am doing good. Proud of myself. And I have been told so are other people. I gotta keep it up. Got allot to go but I will make it because I believe in me. Eventually that might be me???

Yeah me!!! Weigh in went well I am down another 2.8 pounds. So the total for 2 weeks is 4.6 pounds. Now I have to get up off my fat butt more often (and yes its ok if I call myself fat because I love me) and get some exercise. In other words off my seat and move my feet. Gotta find a place where I can walk. Offered to walk the route with the cute mailman that delivers to my work. Don't think the boss would like that. Oh well so much for that idea. So I have gotta come up with some thing to do to get me more motivated in the exercise department. My strider isn't working really well now so I will have to see what I can come up with. Something CREATIVE. Something I can stick with that wont overwhelm me. So if anyone reads this and has any ideas please feel free to chime in anytime!

OK its Saturday and weekends are difficult. When I am at work its easier to not eat because I only bring lunch and a snack with me so I have to be good. Unless the girls sabotage me and they have been really sweet about me dieting. So I have to go to the grocery store today and shop and I have made a list of what I need to get. Its the WANTS that I have to avoid. Well most of them anyway. Learning to put better choices in those WANT categories is what I need to do. Fruit is calling my name. Especially pineapple. I saw an commercial I believe for some restaurant and they were advertising this island shrimp with pineapple glaze. So now I am craving shrimp (which is good for me) and pineapple (which is good for me). TV playing in the background... How appropriate a Weight Watchers momentum commercial. So keep putting that foot forward I will make it. And more water.

Why is it harder to follow a diet the day after weigh in. I guess because you have a little relief that you made it through weigh in and saw a negative on the scale. Now I am trying to increase my water intake. I am suceeding but I am also having more trips to the little girls room. Or maybe I should say not so little girls room. Because if I was a little girl all of this would be a mute point because I wouldnt be dieting if I was little now would I? OK lack of food is causing me to ramble. Either way its more steps. And more steps equals more activity. So I guess water consumption is a double benefit. And goodness knows when it comes to exercise I can use all the help I can get. Any step forward is progress right? Now I have to find a place I can walk that is indoors (I dont like walking in the cold) and I dont want to walk at night. Unless I want to put Torque on a leash and fight her every step of the way. Hey that would be extra exercise wouldnt it? Maybe thats an idea after all. Hey I am thinking positive.

OK weigh in went well. I am down 1.8 pounds. I wont say how many more I have to go. Just say allot. Wish it had been more but I am happy its a loss. This week I have to step up my activity. And my water consumption. And I know with the excess water drinking (eight 8 ounce glasses) I will be making extra trips to the bathroom. The extra steps alone will help. I would love to know if an elephant drinks that much water??? I am also wondering since I am eating so many green beans will I turn into one or will Sam's wholesale club give me a bulk discount? And my poor puppies dont understand why Momma will no longer give them bites off her plate. Because I can tell you if I have to count it it is going in MY MOUTH. One of my dogs Torque now just sits in front of me while I am eating dinner and barks. Mental note put dog treats on TV tray before dinner this evening. Well thats all for now. I gotta get back to work.

Beginning...

And another thing not a good idea to cheat the night before weigh in...

Beginning...

Its never easy starting a diet. Its not even easy admitting you need to do so. But lately the need has not only been there its been slapping me in the face. So I decided about a week ago that dieting on and off last year on my own just wasnt working. Just ask anyone who has seen my fat butt lately they will tell you. But I am moving forward. Starting weight watchers again was the route I decided to take. Having been once before years ago with my mother I knew it worked. Walking in the door this time though was harder. Partially because I have more to lose this time. So I walk up to the counter and explain that I wish to rejoin. They are happy to see me. I tell the lady I just wish I was as happy to see her. She snickers and we both laugh. I say what can I say I am a lifetime member or a repeat offender. Whichever you wish to call it. So tomorrow is my first weigh in since I have gone back so wish me luck. And yes Mama I remember dont wear jeans or heavy tennis shoes to weigh in. But the will let me kick off the shoes this I already found out. So off to the weigh in I will go...
