I guess I have been making progress after all! I took new measurements for the first time since last July and I have lost 7 inches from my waist! Whoo hoo!. I don’t feel like that’s the case, but the tape can’t lie, right?
I am losing my excitement with Weight Watchers. Typical. I get excited about something new and then I quickly lose interest. I have to stick to it though, I am out of options.
I had a lot of fun in DC & New York, but despite walking lots of miles, I still gained weight. I thought I was making good food choices, but I guess not. It’s amazing how many calories there are in restaurant foods.
One thing I am grateful for is that I did not go on this trip as a smoker. It would have been difficult to always be looking for a place to stop and smoke.
I have been eating somewhat normal and boy does it use a lot of points. If it weren’t for the fact that I wen to the gym every day, I’d be out of control on the point chart!! Next week I’ll do better. I don’t know what I’ll do in DC and NY?? Yikes. I understand we eat ab buffets a lot. This sucks on all sorts of levels, but I have vowed to do my best.
Monday is weigh in day, and I am actually excited. I can tell I have been making changes and despite the arrival of you know what, AND my stack of points, I am hopeful for a loss. I wish they’d done measurements because I think that’s where my most success will be.
WW is going well, I think… I blew most of the weekly points on two meals, but I guess that’s why they’re there. I think (hope) I am overestimating points rather than underestimating.
I have also been to the gym ever day this week! Nice. I hate getting up, but it sure feels good.
I may try to get to the noon meeting today with mom and see how it goes. Monday was nice too, but noon would not interfere with the work day as much.
Well, I weighed in this morning at 171.5 pounds. That means I have gained back 11.5 pounds since the 21 days. Sucks. After being so upset about the clothes last night, I tried to sign up for a Weight Watchers monthly pass, but my internet went down. So, I am going to check out a meeting this morning and maybe join.
I’ve had a great start to the day so far. I got up at 5 am and went to the gym. Here’s my workout:
20 minutes hour on the treadmill (walked 1 mile)
60 minutes aerobics class (kicked my butt, I almost passed out and I’m thinking I need to eat before I go…)
12-15 minutes Leaner Longer Stronger workout (Monday is core day)
I’m am resolved to keeping this schedule. I leave for DC in two weeks and I’d like to be back down to 160 before I go. Think it’s possible? We shall see.
July 2nd is the George Michael concert. I’d like to be 145 by then – I think this is totally doable.
