Making an Effort

This is just a quick post today. I’m not on track yet 100%.  I am, however, making an effort.  Especially the last couple of days.  I’m starting to feel my motivation returning. It helps that several of my friends are also attempting to watch what they eat. I say this as my stomach growls. I’m also going to make more of an effort to blog.  I miss it. I just really haven’t had much to say lately, especially in regards to my eating.  My emotions have also been on quite the roller coaster. I’m still loving my car quite a bit. [ ... ]

Updates

Hi all! Guess what? My weight on the scale is actually down!  It’s showing me as being down 6 lbs from my most recent highest.  But officially, I’m only down 2.7.  But I’ll take it! I’m excited to see what the scale says on Saturday.  I was perfectly on plan Friday.  Wasn’t perfectly on plan Saturday, but didn’t do TOO bad and did a lot of walking at the renaissance festival.  Then was perfectly on plan yesterday and so far so good today!  I’m going out tonight and I even have my planned drinking tracked in advance in my tracker. Go [ ... ]

New Determination

I’m almost scared to say anything for fear I will jinx myself, but I find myself with a new determination to get back on plan today.  It may have something to do with the fact that I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach all day. LOL But I have been tracking all of my food today, and actually sat down and made a grocery list for when I go shopping tonight. Do you have any idea how long it has been since I actually wrote out a grocery list?  Especially one that didn’t have the word “cookies” written on it? [ ... ]

Out of Control

Hi all. My eating is totally out of control. My emotions are totally out of control. My weight is getting totally out of control and I’m seeing numbers on the scale that make me cry. I feel like I’m in the bottomless pit of despair again that I can’t pull myself out of. Except I KNOW that I can…and that just makes me feel that much worse about myself. I have GOT to get myself back on plan. I have GOT to. I can’t let this continue. I’m already feeling so low that I just can’t imagine how much worse it can [ ... ]

The Bright Side-Progress

Hi all! I hope you’re all doing well.  I’ve been meaning to drop in for a while now, but, well…got caught up in life again. The week before last, I didn’t track perfectly, but somehow managed to get a five pound loss!  Yeah, I am still not quite sure how that happened. This past week…I didn’t do the best. Didn’t do terribly, but didn’t track again.  I gained 1.4 pounds. But some of that could also have been water retention. So I was okay with it. The interesting thing to note was that I weighed in at exactly the same weight that I [ ... ]

Getting Back In The Groove

Hi folks.  It’s been a few days since I’ve posted, so you’re probably wondering how I’m doing and if I’m sticking to plan.  I am!  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a few not-so-proud moments and know I haven’t been perfect, but I’m getting there.  I’m slowly starting to get into a routine with my meals…for the first time since I switched my hours in October. But can I just say that I really really really really really really really hope I show a loss on the scale on Saturday?  Even though I’ve stuck pretty close to plan, I’m still scared [ ... ]

Busy Weekend

Hi all!  I hope you had a really great weekend.  Mine was really good…but busy.  I seem to be in the mood lately where I feel like I constantly have to be doing something.  If I’m not out and about, I still feel like there’s things I need to be doing: laundry, blog posts, etc. Saturday dawned bright and early…ugh.  But I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting EVER with my friend, Christy (a/k/a Angelchrys – who is awesome by the way, so check her out).  Most of you know that I’ve only ever done Weight Watchers online.  Once [ ... ]

I Really Dislike Change

As you all know, I’ve been struggling for a long while now. For some of my new readers: I joined Weight Watchers under their flex plan in 2006.  Under that plan, I lost weight pretty rapidly. About a year later, they changed the flex plan a bit and I continued to lose weight, though not as quickly. I still proceeded to lose over 160 pounds and keep it off until about the middle/end of 2009. I did this entirely using their online e-tools, never having been to a meeting. I’ve gained a little over half of what I lost back, even though I had a period [ ... ]

Forgiveness…and my weekend

This is one of those “omg I’m disgusting and should avoid all reflective surfaces” kinds of days for me. BUT. I somehow, even with all the junk I ate, lost 2.9 lbs this week.  Without trying.  Imagine if I did try!  I tweeted about it earlier this morning and someone replied that I must have been trying without noticing. I think she may be right and it’s a cool way of looking at it. Even though I’m still a bunch of pounds heavier than I was a few weeks ago, I’ve decided something. I’m going to forgive myself. Even if I can only keep up [ ... ]

Don’t Mess With Imperfection

Hi guys.  Happy Wednesday.  I thought about doing a Wordless Wednesday post today, but, well, you know me.  Besides, I’ve had way too many wordless Wednesdays already. Today is day two.  You would be so proud of me.  Yesterday, I tracked what I ate ALL day long.  And I came in at only a few points over what I’d really wanted to use.  Not bad!  I would say that’s a MAJOR improvement.  Today, I’ve only had one meal so far, but it has been tracked. I’m even prouder about another choice I made last night.  For the past two days, [ ... ]

Less Talk/More Action

I’ve always been wordy.  Always been of the mind of why use only three words when 50 will do.  If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you already know this.  It really came in handy writing term papers in college. I can also talk pretty big at times.  “I have to do something NOW.”  “I have to get back on plan NOW.”  “We’re all beautiful and wonderful no matter what our weights are.”  “Appreciate the little things.” As far as appreciating the little things, I think I do pretty well. The rest of it…not so much.  [ ... ]

Help/No Help

Okay, take deep breaths.  The world isn’t ending, I promise.  Hell hasn’t frozen over.  You aren’t seeing double.  I am posting a second blog post in a single day.  Just happen to be in a blogging mood today, I guess.  And it’s my third one this week!! I’m having a really good day today.  I’ve been lucky enough to have a few of those lately thanks to some pretty good friends.  But unfortunately, I’ve been in a major funk that I just can’t seem to pull myself out of.  I don’t think I’ve been this depressed since my brother died.  I [ ... ]

Lil’ Bits

This is going to be another one of my little bit of everything posts, and it’s going to be a bit long, so you might just want to skim through and see if anything catches your eye that you’d like to read further. I know I’ve been a bit M.I.A. lately, and hopefully I will be able to change that soon!  I’ve been a regular on Twitter, so you can always catch me there – the randomness that I post there knows no limits. Though I’ve been feeling that I need to take a step back from even Twitter for [ ... ]

Hopeless?

So I’m up another 1.2 pounds this week.  I was actually quite a bit surprised that it wasn’t more considering we ate out practically every meal over the weekend.  Sadly, over the course of September, I have completely undone all of the work and progress that I made over the course of August (have gained more than 9 pounds in the last three weeks and September isn’t even over yet).  I’m exactly where I was at the beginning of August.  And thoroughly disgusted with myself on top of it. I’ve written about these topics so many times in the past, so [ ... ]

Goal Weight Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Happy Weight

I can’t believe that I almost forgot about the blog post idea that the darling, wonderful Rebecca gave me.  She said: Is there a weight at which you feel comfortable in your own skin, but your weight is still not embraced by much of *society*? I’m asking because I hit that weight about a month ago, and was VERY suprised to feel so good about it. I am still freakin’ obese! I DON”T CARE! I mean, I know that the thinner I get, the better my chances for getting hired in my field (health care). Yet [ ... ]
