Okay, actually they sent me an email, so I replied, then they replied……and guess what???? I have a Phone Interview on Monday!!! Whoop Whoop!! I am super excited! Now I just need to remember to only have ONE cup of coffee before my interview so I don’t ramble on like I know I can do when I’m excited! I try not to post anything on my blog that I would regret later, but in case anyone at Weight Watchers Corporate wants to check out my blog, the pictures I recently posted in the blonde wig……we’re admittedly a bit creeeeepy!! A sense of humor is a good quality in an employee. Right? Did I mention I’m super excited?!?!?!? Breakfast Lunch Snack Dinner Refresh…I can eat 26 points a day.I can earn Activity Points by doing exercise, and eat them if I choose.I have an allowance of 49 points that I can […]

I love a rainy day spent at home. I accomplished so many things on Monday, but unfortunately, I was so wrapped up in completing my list of task, and so cozy, neither grocery shopping OR exercising ever did happen, but a few things that shouldn’t have happened……did.

Slept in……took a walk, then took Tucker for a walk. Enjoyed a Late Breakfast with Mike. Piddled around the house….. Had a snack…… Then another…….. Then a friend wanted to walk, so sure, why not? Chatted on a friends deck with some other girlfriends and enjoyed the cool weather. Late Lunch with Mike. The relaxing day got away from me. By now it was almost 4:00 in the afternoon!

The weather this weekend is the kind of weather I truly wish we had six months out of the year. I love the seasons and the variety of weather we have here in the Kansas City area, but there is nothing better than a weekend with the temperature in the 70’s and being able to enjoy morning coffee on the deck, morning or even afternoon or evening walks, and eating dinner outside with friends (and maybe a glass or two of wine). Something about this weather also puts me in a completely relaxed state of mind…..and the only real plans we had for the weekend were just that……relaxing plans. Nothing stressful to prepare for, no trip to pack for, no big obligations. I woke up Friday knowing it was going to be a great weekend, and I knew I was going to do whatever I felt like doing. Friday I […]

As I was driving to my Weight Watchers meeting on Friday morning, I decided that when I got there, I would take the “No Weigh In” pass. The last six weeks have been a pattern of lose, gain, lose, gain, lose……and I knew with last weeks BIG loss, that this week would likely be a gain, and I was still gloating about my weigh in of 156! For the first time in my four year weight loss process, I am really starting to feel “normal”. I just wanted to walk around knowing I weighed 156. When I walked into my meeting, a huge part of me felt like I was cheating if I skipped my weigh in, so I stripped off all of my jewelry, pee’d, exhaled (my usual weigh in procedure) and stepped on the scale. As expected, I was up a pound. Because of the pattern of the […]

…….spent hanging out on the deck with my coffee, some tunes (Mike finished staining the deck AND put new speakers outside!) and the dogs while they catch a few rays of sun before it gets too hot! Look at King Tucker taking over the cushion! He looks at me with Pride while Mishka pouts and looks in the other direction with disgust. They are ridiculous. Then out for a short 6 mile walk with some friends in the neighborhood!!We kept a great pace of 4.0 MPH and got in almost 10,000 steps! I came home from our walk and did my strength training while tripping over the dogs, who were BEGGING for a walk of their own. So I earned a few more activity points and walked my furry friends. 🙂 Breakfast Snack Lunch I had a little Rotisserie Chicken left, so I sautéed some Onions and Zucchini in 2 […]

I met my friend, Renee, at Shawnee Mission Park again this Wednesday for a walk. We decided to go the asphalt path this time. Last week my new shoes were a big DUST ball from the trails that we hiked!! We had been walking on the path for quite awhile when we decided to look at my pedometer and see how long we had been walking. We had been at it for just over an hour! Just a chatting away…..solving all of the worlds problems. We turned around and headed back. By the time we got back to our car, we both had pretty achy hips!! We walked 7.4 Miles!!!! We weren’t extremely speedy, but according to my pedometer, we walked over 13,000 steps! Felt good to get in that long of a walk! Breakfast Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt! Breakfast Number Two! Turkey Burger topped with Eggs, Queso Cheese, Avocado […]

Simply APPLYING for a job as a Weight Watchers Leader has been a goal of mine for at least three years now. (You have to be within 10 pounds of your goal weight) When I started my blog over two years ago, I decided it might be a useful tool for other WW members to read that might be frustrated with losing weight slowly. At times I felt very alone in my S L O W weight loss, but when I would listen to other members at my meeting going through some of the same struggles, I knew I wasn’t alone. I thought perhaps other Weight Watcher members could find comfort in reading my blog and knowing they weren’t the only one experiencing weight loss struggles. I sat down at my vintage laptop and got started. I would have done the whole thing from my iPad, but my Resume was […]

I’m the first one to admit that I don’t keep up real well with the trends in clothing, or really any other trends for that matter. I can be a little lame and totally out of the loop as to what’s current. I like trendy, I just don’t always know what trendy is. Sometimes, I just want my cargo pants and my tank top, and my $1 flip flops, so thats what I wear. I’m totally a tank top girl. Yoga pants are a favorite too! It can be a workout day or no workout day, doesn’t matter. I like to dress for comfort. I try not to be a complete slob, and I try to look put together. But I admit, comfort usually comes first. Oh, and a bargain. I’ve just never been one to spend much on clothes, or on much else. I’m admittedly…..cheap. When I saw the […]
