It’s been a while… I have some bad news. I’m almost definitely back up to 173. I don’t know how I keep yo-yoing so much! Every time I have a victory (like getting under 170) it’s followed by another roadblock.  Actually, that’s a lie about not knowing why I’ve been yo-yoing. I haven’t been working out, I’ve been overworked, and my eating hasn’t been the best (although I have been trying).  I need to get re-focused. I feel fat and jiggly all over.  I have also missed my last 2 meetings because I’ve been out of town and believe it or not, there are no other meetings that I can make it to with my schedule the way it’s been lately.  BUT, I am going to face the music on Saturday morning, and I’m sure it’s going to be UGLY.  I actually got on my scale this week and was up to 176. YIKES!! How is it possible for me to gain 6 lbs in a week?!

I need a plan. I need to get re-focused.

I need to remember the reasons why I’m doing this. Let’s review:

1) I am 25. I’m too young to feel bad about my appearance. These are supposed to be the best years of my life!!

2) I have a great life. I have a great career, a great family and a great boyfriend who loves me no matter what I look like.  The only thing that’s holding me back is how I feel about myself.

3) I want to be able to fit into my old clothes and purge my current wardrobe and buy cute new clothes to fit my cute new body!

4) I feel better when I exercise and eat right- I like how i feel when food isn’t running my life.

5) Diabetes runs in my family. I don’t want it.

6) I want to be able to enjoy a weekend at the cottage and not worry about looking fat in pictures.

and a new one….

7) My mom is taking me to Greece next year, and I want to be able to wear a bikini in Santorini!

It’s time for me to get back into an exercise program, too….Turbo Jam, here I come!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Weigh-In, Week 24

Filed Under General, Weigh-Ins, Weight Watchers | 3 Comments

Woo hoo!! I am FINALLY below 170!!

Weigh-in today was 169.8.  That means only 0.8 until I reach my 10% goal! I can’t believe how long this has taken. If I was at home I would have reached this goal a long time ago.  I wouldn’t be surprised if I was up again next week, since that seems to be the trend, but we’ll see. I’m trying to stay positive.

They were giving out the chocolate chip brownie bars at the meeting.  I’m just eating mine now, and I have to say- not worth the 2 points, in my opinion.  blech.

I’ve done okay with my eating this week. I’ve been very good at breakfast and lunch, and I had subway a few times this week.  I never used to eat subway more than once a week because of the sodium in the turkey. It used to really affect me. But, it seems that my body is adjusting.  Desperate times call for desperate measures, it seems.

I have several dinners out this week, so I’m not all that hopeful about losing again, but I’ll just continue to do my best.  I’m feeling very good about getting under 170, even though it’s only 0.2 under! :)  My total loss is 17.2 lbs, which means I have 44.8 to go.  Hopefully I can reach it by graduation in May 2010!
