Yep, I'm a LOSER! :-)

Weight watchers was great tonight. Of course, I say that because I am a LOSER! I lost 5.0 pounds! I am really happy. REALLY happy. I knew I had eaten right all week and knew I was losing, and I was pleased to see a loss of five.

Where do I go from here to make sure I am successful next week? That is easy...I have three goals to accomplish for myself by my next weigh in.
  • First, I need to write things down every time food is put into my mouth. I did treat myself to a new three month journal to write down what is going into my mouth. I just find that I have the most problem with calculating points for my dinners. It is cumbersome, confusing, but something I will overcome. I figure by writing it down and figuring out the points the first time, if I make the meal again, the points will be figured out and things will be good.
  • Second, I need to work-out. As much as I'd love to live in a bubble and think that I don't need to work out, I know that I do. I am going to go to yoga Tuesday and work-out with my trainer on Wednesday. That will be a great start. I will also get on the treadmill which is presently collecting dust as well.
  • Third, I need to drink water. I'm not much of drinker of anything during the daytime, and I need to drink water. It is that simple. I just have to be prepared to PEE!!! :-)

Of course, I want to keep these goals up throughout, but as Liz talked about at tonight's meeting, we need to make goals, and those are my three goals for the week.

Lastly, I am starting Provera tonight to bring on AF. When I don't want her, she appears early, and when I want her, I can't get her to start. Hopefully this will kick my ovaries and uterus into gear, and that too will make me happier and healthier.

Thanks again for everyone's support! So far, so good!!!

Wow! That is impressive! Graet work! Sounds like you created realistic goals - ones you can measure. I hope the exercise part is fun. I do it every single day. Somedays, I'll be honest, I'm not quite awake. But I LOVE that hot shower!

I remember my second week on WW I lost 4.5 pounds - what an amazing feeling!! Congratulations!!! These kinds of weeks will carry you through the others when the loss isn't as much. Keep working the program and you will end up with the results you are hoping for. Love you!

You loser! But boy am I proud of you. Keep it up. Now that you know what it takes, it will get easier. Trust me. It will turn into a new lifestyle, and fortunately it's a realistic one and easily adaptable. So what's wrong with being healthy!!! It's a great feeling. I love you, Sweetheart.
