Not when you're floundering around with weight loss. I need focus to get the job done but focus has been smooshed by flounder and I really haven't been doing well since Christmas. I hadn't given up entirely but when I missed two Weight Watchers meetings in a row and then gained seven pounds, I knew I had some serious attitude adjustments to make. So last week I went back to WW, faced the music, and resolved to climb back on that wagon train.
I also set a personal goal: I vowed to lose five pounds in a week. I've been watching Biggest Loser on TV and they don't seem to have any trouble losing five pounds or more in a week so I thought, if those guys can do it, so can I!
As a result, I have been a model child for Weight Watchers. I have been on plan, every minute. I have exercised every single day. On the weekend I split wood and I split wood and I split wood, blah, blah, blah – surely that counts as exercise because at this moment every single bit of my blubbery body is shrieking with throbbiness.
Tonight is weigh-in.
Tonight the bell tolls. I sure hope it tolls for me.
BY THE WAY: If you're into watching your weight, you'll want to check out this COOL blog I discovered this morning. I found it via my Weight Watchers newsletter and it's run by a tattooed beauty named Sheryl whose every pore oozes pink inspiration. You can find her here: http://www.sherylyvette.com/
You'll be back on track...everyone is entitled to a slip now and again.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's a pretty slip... like a chemise. Something silky and trimmed with lace?
DeleteNot only am I so proud of you, but inspired enough to rejoin ww myself
ReplyDeleteMandy
GO MANDY!
Delete(And talk about being proud, Mandy, you are my pride icon.)
Rooting for you tonight!
ReplyDeleteI decided to give myself a WW break this past weekend. It was fun. But today I am back on. You have more determination in your little pinkie than most folks have in their entire bodies, so go to it girl! Peace...
That's the hardest part, LInda... getting off and then getting back on. I used to be horrible at that, thinking once I was off that was it, game over. I am learning that it's not impossible to try and try again. Hard, but not impossible. Thanks Linda! Good luck to you, too!
DeleteI want tattoos like hers.
ReplyDeleteLet's go get one together. I've always wanted one, too!
DeleteI'd say I hope you're the biggest loser tonight but that just sounds wrong...
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Thanks Alex! Nah, Biggest Loser never sounds wrong! :)
DeleteI'm with you! Today is my day to renew, and re-commit to my goals. I'm on WW with ya!!
ReplyDeleteHere's to points! ;)
CHEERS! *clinking glasses of Diet Coke*
Deletelost 2lbs this week on weight watchers.... I power walk with the dogs once a day and forget those points! so far 1 stone 9 lbs lost since jan!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo pounds! Woot! John, I gotta tell ya, though, a friend of mine said all men have to do is "blink extra hard" and they shed 10 lbs!
DeleteSeriously, though, congrats. It doesn't matter if you're a man, a woman or a dog, it's really hard to lose weight and you've been doing so well. Way to go!!!!
They can lose weight on The Biggest Loser because they work out about 8 hours a day! My Mommeh wants to lose about 10 pounds, but she cannot stop herself from eating and eating and eating!
ReplyDeleteDaisy, you are the smartest cat I know.
DeleteI don't know how those guys can work out 8 hours a day without literally dying. I'd like to know their secret! And good luck to your Mommeh - the slimmer you are the harder it is.
Yay you're back on track - you couldn't loose a couple or so pounds for me while you're at it could you? I have this dark chocolate easter bunny that I'm half way through eating, you'd be doing me a great favour if you could. ^___^
ReplyDeleteHelen, you have no idea how enticing a half-eaten dark chocolate Easter bunny sounds. Air mail, baby! Bring it!
