Weight Watchers ending week 3

This weeks weight loss: 0.6 pounds
Total weight loss: 6.1 pounds

THIS WEEK SUCKED!! I seriously went back to my old ways for at least 50% of the week. The week started of great. Monday we went to the gym, I walked/ran for 30 minutes, then rode a bike for 30 minutes. Then it starts, we cheated on dinner on Tuesday. The biggest mistake we could make, we went to a buffett. Wednesday was good. Then the rest of the week went downhill...FAST! I weigh myself everyday, but I only count my Monday morning weight, and what sucks is Wednesday of this week, I was down another 4 pounds! It really pisses me off that I screwed up so bad this week. I could have possible lost 4 pounds, but instead I only lost .6 pounds. I know I haven't been doing this for long, but it seems to early to fall of the wagon. I'm tired of making excuses for myself!! It's alot easier when Z is on track with me, but he is so convincing when he wants to cheat. It is SO hard to resist, but I can't let that get to me anymore.

This week is FULL for me. I WILL EAT RIGHT! I might not make it to the gym as much as I would like, but I WILL EAT RIGHT! I have meeting tonight and tomorrow starting at 5 and have no idea when they will end. I work Wednesday and Thursday until 6. Friday I might be doing something with my sorority sisters (which will probably include food). But I will make it work, this is life. I love this crazy, tragic, some times almost magic, awful beauful life!

Weight Watchers ending week 1

Beginning Weight: not ready to publish on the internet
Current Weight: still not brave enough
Total Weight Loss: 3 pounds

Ok, so 3 pound could just be water weight, but I have to start somewhere! Zach started his Weight Watchers meetings on January 12. He has tried the program before and it worked really well for him. I also started the program on the same day. I am not attending meetings, I don't see a point in both of us paying to go. So I am just following the books and what he learns in class. Personally I do want to change my eating habits, but we are also supporting each other through every temptation.

Ultimate Temptation for the week: The stupid sugar cookie with colored sprinkles. I attended my works annual meeting where cookies were provided as refreshments. I REALLY wanted the stupid sugar cookie with colored sprinkles. But I resisted. The next day I walk into the break room to clock in, and cookies left over from the meeting the night before where on the table, I still resisted. At 10am I went to get my morning snack of pineapple (1 weight watchers point because it was in light syrup) and there sat the last cookie...THE STUPID SUGAR COOKIE WITH COLORED SPRINKLES!!! The only cookie left was the one I wanted. I grabbed the pineapple and walked away. Only to fight with myself and return to the break room where I picked it up and took it to my office...I DIDN'T EAT IT! I figured the point value only to find one stinking cookie would add 3 points to my day. I am only allowed 29 points a day, so to me 3 points is A LOT! I took that cookie back to the break room and walked away.

I have decided that my first goal will be 10% of my starting weight. This weekend we bought a digital scale to measure out what we eat accurately and two Weight Watchers cookbooks. I can say that writing down everything I eat makes me more aware of what I am putting into my body. It also helps me make healthier choices. And you really do get to eat REAL food. No people McDonald's is NOT real food. So good luck to everyone else out there struggling with making healthier choices!
