Well, I have had a bad few weeks,  but I had still lost.  I went to a  WW meeting with one of the girls I work with since I wasn’t going to be able to go today.  I realized something when I was looking back through my WW stuff….I really haven’t started working out like I need to!  If I really want to “Be an After” then I’ve got to implement that as well as watching my points.  I’m going to try this week to do exactly what it says to do for the first couple of weeks….try to get in 3 Activity Points per week and then move up from there.  I’ve been trying to do little things to help…like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.  Yesterday when I went to pick up my ex’s wife’s check, I went down all 6 flights instead of waiting for the elevator!  I just need to do more so I can get all this off!  I just have to do it!

Guess what?!  With all the stuff that’s happened the last couple of weeks that have deterred me from following my plan, I have lost a grand total of (drum rolls please)12.4 pounds!  I’m now in the mid 180’s!  I’m so excited!  I know it doesn’t seem like much, but it’s been a long time since I have felt this good about losing weight!  I’m in a good place right now!  If I can just keep my points under control (I’m now down to 18 points per day) and get my exercise in…I should be great! 

Y’all probably think I have fallen off the face of the earth after my Nanny’s passing.  I promise I have not.  I actually have not been too well since it happened.  Must be the stress and the weather change that did me in.  Anyway, although not really paying close attention to what I have been putting in my mouth, but not completely overindulging.  I have managed to lose a grand total of (drum rolls please) 11 pounds!  I was close to my 10 pound mark before, but this was not what I was expecting!

I should be back in working condition now that I am getting antibiotics in my system.  I hope everyone is well!

Okay, first of all, I WALKED A HALF A MILE AT LUNCH!!!!!!!   Here’s the deal…I am not sure how to log it in for WW.  Anybody have any suggestions?!  I need to figure out how to log it.  It’s a little different since it wasn’t a plain old half a mile.  It was Leslie Sansone’s The Walk Diet…it was the 1 mile, but I didn’t have time to do all of it.  I just need to make sure I log it correctly!

I’m having a little trouble eating like I should since last week.  I’m only managing about a meal a day.  I did get the “munchies” earlier so I ate the grapes I had in the fridge.  I don’t know what’s going on…aside from maybe stress, but ordinarily I eat when that happens!  I’m not sleeping well either…maybe the exercises will help!

I’m going to get all this down yet!  I’m a determined woman! 

Thank God!  I made it through my birthday week!  As bad as it was foodwise, according to my scale, I’ve only gained a pound!  That’s not too bad considering how bad I was last week!  I’ve made a decision…I HAVE to start walking this week.  I’ve got my DVDs and am getting a little excited because we got the VCR working again too…so I have choices!  Choices are good!  I have more VHS walking tapes than I care to admit to so I will have plenty of choices of 1 mile walks until I get used to walking again.  Not that I want to overdo it, but I think I am going to try Yoga and/or Pilates this week too at night.  I think it will help me sleep better because I will be exercising…but also because I will be able to de-stress after I get home.  It will be good for me.  I may just start out with the walking first…and then try to add to it next week.  I need to add the exercise back in!  Have a great Sunday!  Take care and God bless!
