A.M. weigh-in: 153.4 (heading south, thank goodness!)
Last night’s WW weigh-in: 158.8 (that’s 8.8 lbs up from my last weigh in 3 weeks ago. That IS also higher than my starting weight almost 3 months ago. That is so NOT COOL!!)
My biggest victory yesterday: I took 2 of the kids to see Earth last night and I did not eat anything! No popcorn, pretzel bites or frozen Junior Mints (my faves!!) Just a big Diet Coke. Considering the number of movies I see a week (several) and therefore the number of treats and calories I consume (vast!) if I can conquer snacking at the movies, I think that alone will be the difference between hitting goal weight and gaining all the weigh back. Seriously, I do SO much damage at the movies with candy especially.
Definitely planning another trip to the gym today. My arms aren’t nearly as sore today (I did upper body again yesterday) as they were last time and I actually pushed it more yesterday. Excellent. Today is lower body. I’m going to firm this bod up once and for all!
UPDATE 1:25PM
Hit the gym today even though I was looking for reasons not to. Weird, cause while I love escaping from work, I’m also a workaholic and so actually leaving work is hard for me. Though the minute I step foot in the gym I’m always totally glad I’m there. And I feel GREAT, especially afterwards.
For those keeping score, that’s FIVE days in a row. I’m on a roll!!
Breakfast: WW mint cookie crisp mini bar, WW cookies and cream mini bar
Snack: small pita pocket (plain, just the pocket)
Lunch: 6″ Veggie Delight from Subway
Snack: WW mint cookie crisp mini bar
Dinner: will be 6″ Veggie Delight
Mentally adding that up (since WW on-line point tracker is having serious issues right now) that’s only about 14 points for the day. Too low. I’m supposed to have 20. I’ll probably have another mini bar and another pita pocket which will bring the total up to 16. Four points to play with - awesome!!

Alright! Stay on that path! You’re inspiring me. I’m doing some soul searching today about how far I’m getting off track and how I get back to where I want to be.
In the meantime, Saint Patty….patron saint of good deeds and cursing. I like that. Rather inappropriate for a teacher but I’m pretty good at that cursing part. In fact, if DH doesn’t get his butt in gear and put on a tie for the ring ceremony tonight, I’m going to do some more of it.
Seems like a lot of us are faking it right now. I’m playing games, too, and trying to get back to where I need to be. At least, your faking is doing what you need to do even if the enthusiasm isn’t there. Me? I’m good one day and pathetic the next. Kind of slowly moving back up the scale. Gotta get that trend turned around.
Congrats on nothing at the movie! I know how hard that is, smelling the popcorn. Good for you with your Diet Coke.
Hey, girl, congrats on the turn in direction! So glad to see you still at it and still making good choices. I figured out a long time ago my speed is not nearly as important as my direction. =) You go, woman! Delita
