Wednesday is “Weigh In” day for me. I usually step on the scale at home before I head to my WW meeting so I have an idea where I’m going to be. Sometimes it’s accurate at home, other times I wonder why I continue this unpredictable routine. Today however? SUCCESS! I was a little worried about over indulging on the Mother’s Day Feast I had prepared last Sunday. Monday and Tuesday I made a huge effort to keep the intensity level of my workouts as high as I could tolerate, without falling off of the treadmil, or becoming so dizzy on the stationary bike, I fall off of THAT! I walked into my meeting, pee’d, stepped up to the scale, exhaled, prayed, and stepped on!! I broke the plateau! Today’s weight? 179.6. I plan to never see the 180’s again. In saying that, and with my experience of ups and downs, […]

I can’t really make this blog a success unless I’m completely honest. My life has always been an open book (not always a good thing), so why stop now? If I skip a planned day of excercise, I will be honest about it. If I over eat for the week, I will be honest. I’m 5’5″ (5’4 1/4″), and weigh 182 lbs. According to the BMI chart, I am OBESE. I’m just BIG BONED! Okay, that has worked for me for awhile. In highschool I weighed 155. I always thought I was fat. I was “the fat friend”. Never really seemed to hold me back though. I look back at highschool pictures, and I think I look pretty normal. So in the confusion and panic of getting to a goal weight of which I have never been, and maintain, I went to two personal trainers and my doctor. After much […]

The last six weeks have included many changes. I am now attending a Wednesday Weight Watcher meeting AND a Friday Weight Watcher Meeting. I love my leader, Joan. Every single meeting I leave with something new! Sometimes it’s a new “Food Find”, other times it is a recipe, other times it’s a change in attitude, other times it’s a new friend! I leave every meeting knowing I have made a wise decision in going! Another change I have made? I have never enjoyed excercise. I almost panic at the thought of it. I know how important it is for my health, so I have begun to approach it that way. I met with a trainer for one hour for $50. Totally worth it! Before, I would go to the gym, do the treadmil, then feel lost. So I’d call it a day and leave. Now I have a routine, a heart […]
