It was a good long weekend. Lots of time relaxing. Thanks everyone for my birthday well wishes.
I hope everyone stayed on point. I ate out a couple times but I stayed within my daily points and have some weekly and activity points left over.
I didn’t get to walk my treadmill for about 3 days but [...]

After being in the program for 10 months I have learned several things. Among them is the importance of your commitment to achieving your goal. Always aim for it. Put that goal above all others. If you do, the other things in life will automatically fall into place.
Once you start to see that you are [...]

A couple weeks before I joined Weight Watchers my son came to me and said “Mom, your scale is 40 pounds light”. I said you are crazy. They can’t be. One or two pounds maybe but not 40 pounds.
He said “I weighed at my friends house and his scales weighed me 40 pounds more than [...]

Food has always had an emotional component for me. I would prepare food according to my moods. I would celebrate joy, love and appreciation with food. We all know that food means more to us that just fuel for the body.
Food gives us positive feelings for more than one reason. For one, food triggers a [...]

In the past I would grab something and eat it before I even thought about it. It would be eaten before I even realized it. Sometimes I would think back and wonder if I ate it or laid it down somewhere. That is mindless unhealthy eating.
Fortunately I work from my home so I have access [...]

I know there are going to be weeks when I don’t lose as much as others. But as I look back over the last three weeks I see some differences in my activity.
Two weeks in a row I lost 4.5 pounds, this week 1/4 pound. The first two weeks I was more active. I swam [...]

I only lost 1/4 pound this week but that’s ok. I am weighing at night now. That had to have effected my weigh-in. I had eaten breakfast and lunch today.
Losing 9 pounds this past two weeks, I was expecting a bit of a gain. That seems to be my pattern. Lose one, gain 1/2 pound, [...]

Sometimes we think we just can’t resist that one jelly or creme filled donut. Legally it is workable on the Weight Watchers plan. But think about how much it will take to burn it off next time you feel the urge to pick one up and eat it. Even though they are readily available, they’re [...]

I have suffered insomnia for years. Staying awake till the wee hours of the morning. When I would finally go to sleep, if something woke me up, I couldn’t drift back off to sleep again for hours.
I found out that eliminating the amount of sugars, fats, and preservatives from my daily intake of food helps [...]

When I first started this plan I wasn’t a big fan of all the “good for me” foods. Sure, I liked watermelon, tomatoes and salad. But I was accustomed to piling on all kinds of dressings, croutons, or gravy on my food.
Conditioning yourself to a new way of eating isn’t easy. When I first started, [...]
