Week 48 Weight Watchers Weigh In Update

It has come to my attention that I mistakenly put a loss of 3.8 pounds in last week’s post! It was actually a gain… maybe my post makes more sense now!

Now on to this week… alas, I had a 4 pound loss! Woo hoo! (and I do mean loss this time!) Of course, I pigged out before I weighed in last week, so I don’t think it was hard to come by. And well, this week, is not shaping up to be such a good eating week. I’ve had a series of unfortunate cooking experiments in the kitchen. Hence, no recipes posted. Not to mention wasted food and going off plan because I don’t feel like cooking something else! Note to self: You are not a genius in the kitchen… stick to the recipe!

Anywho… it’s short and sweet today. I am thrilled that I had a 4 pound loss, but that usually means ZERO loss the next week.  The proof is going to be in how I do over the next couple of weeks, so stick with me.

Weight: 170.0 lbs
Change This Week: -4.0 lbs
Overall: -17.6 lbs (-3.2 lbs from the first time) = -20.8 lbs

Week 47 Weight Watchers Weigh In Update

Yikes! Week 47! That means it has almost been a year, and I am nowhere near where I would like to be! That’s scary! Good thing I vowed to get back on track this week! I stuck to my promise too. I made myself go to a Weight Watchers meeting for the first time since July 1st yesterday. I am not gonna lie, I ate a ton of food before I went… Hardee’s breakfast, cake, roast beef sandwich, chocolate, etc… It was like my “last supper,” except it was all day long! I know they say you shouldn’t do that, but to hell with it! I was taking a major plunge back in that weight loss ocean, and I wanted to make sure I had no food regrets! (Not to mention, my chances of having a decent weight loss next week are greatly increased!)

As usual, the meeting ended up being a lot of what I needed to hear.  I even got a card with a quote from a very successful lifetime member who our meeting leader knew. It said “Never trade what you want most for what you want now.”  This quote is what got her through over 100 pounds of weight loss! Hopefully it will help me get my motivation mojo back!

So today, I started eating right and counting my points. I think I wanted to give up a billion times! And not because it was that difficult, but I kept thinking, I will just go ahead and splurge, or I will start being really good tomorrow. I am happy to report that it is now 10:30pm, and I have counted all my points, met all the good health guidelines (except the activity because of my knee injury :( ), and only used 2 of my extra weekly points. Not too shabby! I can definitely say I gave it 100% today!

Weight: 174.0 lbs
Change This Week: +3.8 lbs
Overall: -13.6 lbs (-3.2 lbs from the first time) = -16.8 lbs

The Diva on a Diet is Back!

You thought I was gone forever, didn’t cha?  Well, I am back…  The diva is back! That’s right, and I mean it this time!  I took a bit of a hiatus, I guess you could say, from counting points, eating right, walking, etc. I was still paying my monthly Weight Watchers fee the whole time too! I guess I was somehow hoping that would make me go back! I just couldn’t find my motivation mojo!  Any motivation I found would keep failing me after a few days (sometimes hours!), so I decided to just take a breather and work on just trying to be ok with the size I am at for a bit. I mean, I started to think that maybe I won’t ever be smaller than this size again, and maybe I just have to be okay with that.

But really people, I am just NOT okay with the size I am! Not just because of the way I look, but because I actually have health problems that can be affected by or have actually been caused by my not being in a “healthy” weight range!  Acid Reflux Disease, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol in your early 30’s are just not cool! And if you have stopped by here before, you would know that I haven’t felt like I have been giving it even close to 100%.

Ah, but truth be told, I also really miss my old skinny body! I miss how good it felt to go try on new clothes and go out and look hot! I miss being able to show my stomach without massive embarrassment. I haven’t worn a bathing suit in public in at least 5 years, probably more. I have somehow taken my diva self and settled down into lazy old maid spinsterhood without even knowing it!  Ok, well, maybe I know it, but I think it’s finally gotten to me. I have vowed to get back on track after two months of doing nothing and who knows how many pounds of weight gain!

Yeah, I tortured myself a few times here and there during my “non-dieting” phase by weighing myself, which is why I am positive there has been some weight gain. And being the klutz that I am, I fell and sprained my knee last week, so I have basically been immobile and eating for a week!  My knee still has some healing to do, so doing any actual activity is out of the question for a while. But I didn’t want to let that be yet another excuse for not getting down to business. I am going back to Weight Watchers to get the “official” weigh in tomorrow!

So there ya have it. I am back in the game. I am a stubborn girl, and I am trying to parlay that into this whole getting healthy thing! I know how demanding I can be, and I need to just turn that into vehemence for being healthy!

Oh, and I am sorry if I let you down by not telling you about cool new recipes and diet foods and funny stories! Hope you can forgive me! :)

Week 37 Weight Watchers Weigh In Update – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

THE GOOD: At my last official Weight Watchers weigh in on Wednesday (boy, that was a tongue twister!), I lost 2.8 pounds! What’s even more exciting is that it (finally!) put me back under my 10% goal that I achieved back in February! (Yes, back in freakin’ February!)

THE BAD: I celebrated with, what else?… FOOD. And after blowing my weekly extra points in one evening, I proceeded to eat whatever I wanted for the next four days. Not counting points, not caring. What is my problem?!? Am I a glutton for punishment? Do I thrive on self-sabotage? All I know, was that the above achievement was very short lived.

THE UGLY: According to my scale, I have gained 2.4 pounds since my weigh in. And since I ate bad yesterday, I am sure there is more gaining to come. And I am just not caring about being healthy! Why can’t I just be this size, sign my ass up for BBW Personals, and just keep taking my blood pressure and cholesterol meds?!? I am no longer in the obese category, for the love! Can’t that be good enough? I just feel like I am never going to get to that healthy weight range!

Ok, so I think maybe we are back to THE GOOD now?!? (1) All the real butter in the house is now gone! and (2) today, I started eating better again… even though with every second I would rather be eating junk food and don’t really care. I’d really like to see myself go for a walk tonight, but I am afraid that might be pushing it in my hardly caring condition!

And another thing that has been bothering me… I haven’t posted any recipes or food reviews in forever, so forgive me for that! I hope to have time and motivation to do so very soon!!!

Weight: 168.4 lbs
Change This Week:
-2.8 lbs
Overall: -19.2 lbs (-3.2 lbs from the first time) = -22.4 lbs

Week 35 Weight Watchers Weigh In Update

I gained a pound. I effin gained a pound! I am pissed off. I continue to do the same things that sabotage my weight loss, and I don’t understand why! I am so sick of myself right now! I wonder if I really want this? Or do I just want to be unhealthy and die early of a heart attack!?! Apparently I have a death sentence because, even though I am not in the “obese” category anymore, I still have high blood pressure and cholesterol, and  I am too young to have this crap! I am just so annoyed with myself! I have been screwing around since February! I am wasting my money by paying for Weight Watchers if I am just going to half-ass it! I know I can’t always be perfect, but if I mess up 9 out of every 10 weeks, I am gonna get nowhere!

All that said, I haven’t given up. I went out and walked after my meeting, and still have 4 points left and it’s 9pm! I just hope this keeps me motivated. I hope I can have a few weeks where I actually give 100%. I mean, hell, even last week when I lost weight, I only gave what I estimated to be 95%!  I need a few weeks of 100% in order to allow a few bad weeks. I am just taking this “I can’t be perfect” to the extreme. As they say, no pain, no gain, right? Giving 100% a few weeks in a row is really very little “pain” so I need to get over it and get with the program!

ok, enough of my bitchin! … and on with the program!

Weight: 171.2 lbs
Change This Week:
+1 lbs
Overall: -16.4 lbs (-3.2 lbs from the first time) = -19.6 lbs
