Hello, ladies. How is everyone?
Before I catch everyone up, I havea favor to ask. I can't find the part of my WW literature that lists goal weights. I know that my maximum weight for my height is 130 (at least I've always thought it was) -- can someone tell me what the weight range is for someone who is a woman, and 5'3"? I'd prefer the number from the "old" system, before last year's change, but if you guys only have the "new" numbers (the change they introduced last year), can you tell me what my "new" daily points and flex points total would be? I have no literature on the "new" version.
Now, for the catch up: First of all, thank you everyone for the good wishes -- I did enjoy my vacation, even if I was exhausted through most of it. Last week was rough -- between going to the doctor, the grocery store, getting my car serviced and moving offices, I was either out at lunch, working through lunch to make up the difference, ro without my work computer. But I'm back now. Last week was very hard, I was fall down exhausted all week -- but I have been under a lot of stress these last two weeks, and I'm starting to feel like a human being again (more rested.) I gained .6 last week, which is fine, considering that I was on vacation for four days in Phoenix, so half a pound is fine. Other than that, I'm okay. Yeah, just okay. The best news so far this week is that my Dad will be in San Diego for work for a week, not this week, but next week, and he invited me to come spend the weekend with him, like the little Daddy-Daughter vacation trips that we used to take together when I was a kid. He's generously paying for my airfare and my hotel room, and I am most definitely looking forward to it. I'm arriving Friday at 4 pm, and returning at 10 pm Sunday. I think it will be a blast.
Princess: Sorry about your weight gain. it's temporary, you can knock it down again! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the nice weather.
Judy: It's important to recognize the way your body and metabolism are changing, and how that affects your weight loss. Keep going at it, and don't beat yourself up about past mistakes; learn from them, and move on. Beating yourself up about it is pointless, and accomplishes nothing. Move on, move forward, move downward. You can, and what's more, YOU WILL. I am behind on my goal for the year (by about 3 pounds :eep: but if I have to adjust my goal, I will -- I just focus on my overall trend being downward. If it takes me a while, that's okay -- I WILL get there, and so WILL you.) Okay, I got carried away with the capitalization, but as you can imagine, I am emphatic about this.
Re brunch: I think your idea is delicious and healthy. Good job! Did you have fun on your long weekend?
Well, ladies, back to work. Have a good afternoon!
Bandit -- you can go back to losing, but it may take going back to working out and staying OP. Whatever it takes, I have faith that you can do it. Sorry about the madness with your DD being hope, but I am sure it is nice to have her around, isn't it?
