Weigh Ins, Week 18 and 19

Posted by primaballerina on May 31st, 2009 |Filed Under General, Weigh-Ins, Weight Watchers |

Hi everyone,

Sorry I’ve been so MIA lately! Work and life has been nuts…I had a bad week last week and gained 0.8- my biggest gain to date.  I blame it on weighing in at the end of the day. I think you get a very skewed number by doing that, and for someone who generally loses a little bit each week, it can be very discouraging.  Anyway, I was really turned off by the lady who weighed me in- she was pretty harsh when she told me I had gained, and wasn’t encouraging at all like my old leader was. I was also so bored at the meeting that I got up and left before it was over.  I called my ww buddy who informed me that she hadn’t been to a meeting in 2 weeks becaus she hasn’t been doing well and she “feels bad about herself” when she goes.  This is frustrating to me because I can’t be there to hold her hand through this, but she complains about how she wants to do well and doesn’t put in any effort at all.  To top it all off, she won’t even go and face the music after a week of bingeing.  I can’t force her to go, but it’s really disappointing to me.

On to the better news- I found a Saturday morning meeting near my place, so I’ve switched my Weigh-in day to Saturday.  I liked the group better, and I’m happy to be able to weigh in in the morning.  AND, I lost 1.6 this week! I’m down to 171 lbs and my total loss is 16 lbs.  I’m proud of myself for losing anything considering the circumstances of my life right now.  2 more lbs to my 10%!!

Would love to hear how everyone else is doing.  I am really trying to get re-focused because I really want to have a decent loss by the time I go back to school.  I don’t want to throw my summer away!  I just need to remember the reasons I’m doing this in the first place. I’m going to read over my blog today so that I remember just how far I’ve come.  Yesterday I picked up a 10 lb weight and a 5 lb weight- I can’t imagine how tired I’d be if I had to carry those around all day!  That put it into perspective for me that 16 lbs is great progress.  My goal for this week is to get in a workout every weekday. I did turbo jam a few times this week, but not as often as I’d like.  I have been doing really well with my food at work- I’ve been getting accustomed to my schedule and I’m not starving anymore.  I still miss my kitchen, though… Thankfully there’s a Subway right across the street from me- I think that it will be my saving grace!

Have a great week!

Update: I just went out for a super long mall-walk with BF…bought 2 cardigans for work and some Dr. Brant Microdermabrasion face scrub from Sephora.  I LOVE this stuff!!  It’s so expensive, but I figure I deserve a treat for hitting 15 lbs :)

    awesome WI and so glad to hear that you weren’t discouraged from the ww program because of one bad leader. as cheesy as that sounds, it happens more often than not, so hi-5 to you! :) also there’s only so much you can do for your ww buddy, if she doesn’t want it bad enough, then hey its not your burden to carry you’re trying to focus on YOU. she’ll get that point sooner or later. also that original gain of .8 is not that bad, considering its not even a full lb, and that alone could be a “backup” (if you catch my drift) or water weight, so gains like that dont count in my book. keep up the awesome workouts can’t wait to hear of your next WI
