I am getting pretty confused about this blogging site. What is “optional excerpt?” What are “trackbacks?” “Discussion?” “Post Password?” “Post Slug?” “Post Status?” Etc?

I was trying to see if there was a way I could put a signature after my blog. I want to put a ticker to show my weight loss journey but I can’t figure out how to do it so I will just put the ticker in this post for now. I haven’t gotten to choose a goal weight yet at Weight Watchers so I am going to put my 10% as my first goal.

Pretty spiffy! haha

So yesterday was JJ’s and my 6 month anniversary which is exciting of course, but I wasn’t like wanting it to be overly special or anything like that, just another day. Our year anniversary will be a celebration. He was like we should go to dinner and I was like yeah we can go to dinner if you want no problem. Let’s go to Applebee’s because they have the points on a section of their menu. I am not a huge Applebee’s fan, but I looked at the menu online and thought maybe the only thing I would want were the Weight Watcher’s quesadilla. So I looked up some points on a web-site online thinking maybe I will just get something that I used to get at Red Robins and have a good night. The points were so much though, like 20 something! Even 30 something! I haven’t used any of my extra weekly points yet so I debated just doing it. I told him that I really wanted to go out but I wanted to just do really well on Weight Watchers. I didn’t want to get back into old habits so quick even though with weekly points it would have been fine. I chose to make something at home and I am happy that I did. A small accomplishment.

Even though I feel I chose to make a better choice for dinner last night, after dinner and later on into the night I just was feeling discouraged… I had a doctor’s appt. earlier and I tried my hardest not to look at the scale, but I did and I couldn’t tell if I weighed more or less or what, it was so quick. My weight was on my mind all day. Had I lost, had I gained? Will this work for me? I weighed myself late after I ate my dinner and it said 282.5. Gaining a 10th of a pound.. grr.. I tried not to get down on myself though. I had a lot of water that day, it was after dinner, different time in the day than my original weigh in, etc.

Well today before I got in the shower I weighed myself. It was around 2pm so only a couple hours difference than my original weigh in. 277 point something… Yay.. hehe. I hope I still show a weight loss at my meeting on Tuesday. I just feel a new wave of strength though. This is a life style change after all.
