Petra: She didn't "exactly" say that..This was her comment.. You were doing so good, if quitting has caused this (I gained 9lbs in 2 weeks and was exercising like crazy) I probably would start again.
I was crushed and did try another meeting but it wasn't the same... So.. I have decided to go it alone with a buddy. I actually met her on another WW board and we live in the same town. So we are going to the Y together and doing water exercise together. We are WI on Saturday mornings.
Angel: M had a wonderful birthday. If you PM me your email address I will send you M's picture in the recital. The dress was beautiful. I am now working on Christmas dresses.
I was thinking back to when I was more successful this spring and summer... Here is some of the differences:
*I used to take M swimming once or twice a week..just because.. it wasn't organized exercise..it was fun movement.
*On Sunday's M and I would ride bikes in the afternoon..sometimes biking to choir practice.(several miles) We did this all summer long. Now that it is too cold..I have to make up that exercise so I might start taking her swimming on Sunday afternoons.
*I would only count my points and not eat my flex points.
*I would only exchange 1/2 my AP's.
*If I didn't make it to the gym or didn't do something with M..I would use my Richard Simmons tapes.
*I mixed up my exercise. I only worked out at the Y, twice a week but sometimes I did the ellipitical, sometimes the dreadmill, and sometimes the weights. Other days I biked, ran the track at the high school, walked in my e neighborhood, swam or played follow the leader with M at the park.
*I went to the meetings to weigh every week. (I have decided not to go back to WW right now... I am going to WI every Saturday morning....I am still stinging over the leaders comments..I might go back when I get closer to goal..just to show off.. LOL.. I am also waiting for a coupon to join again.with free registration... if I decide to earlier)
*I cut out all caffine and limited myself to one cup of coffee a day. With it being cooler out..I am struggling with this. I might start just drinking hot tea instead. I need the hotness more than the caffine.
*I never struggled with water even when I was at home now it is a chore to get it in on the weekends.
*I rewarded myself with a few new clothes and hair cuts. I haven't done anything for myself in 2 months. (that might because dh took my checkbook. LOL)
*I was excited about the program and tried to find new foods and recipes to try.
* I included my family.
*I would read everything and inspiring websites to keep me motivated.
http://www.wwfamilyforum.com I found it again..YEA!!!!!!!!
*I would post several times a day here and several times with another group on another site.
I think we all need to look at when we were successful and get back to the basics.
I will almost im turtle to find out where she is. I have seen her online a few times but haven't talked with her lately.
