I just looked and seen that nobody has started our flexers chat for this month so I thought I would .
Hope everyone is doing great and drinking lots of water.
I just went back to Weight Watchers last week so tomorrow will be my first weigh in........AGAIN . I've been really good all week. I've stayed within my points, drank my water, and exercised every day. I should have a nice loss tomorrow. I'll let you know.
Hope your WI goes well, Kim! Mine was not so great... up 0.6. HOWEVER, I was not too discouraged, as our leader read out the "Labour Day Goals" we wrote about 2 months ago, and I was one of only a few people that actually made the goal! So, basically, I am still on track. So I will have to try to be good this week, and hopefully I will go down next WI.
Weigh in went great. Down 5.8 lbs YAHHHHHH!!!! I started out at 162.4 and weighed in at 156.6 last night . I am quite proud of myself for staying OP all week.
Gotta go now and get my walk in before I get too lazy
I am going through a bad patch (weightwise) at the moment and I am going to review all the materials and start back on my morning exercise routine. I have set a mini goal for October so here goes
Way to go Kim!
I am going through a rough patch too, I was up 2 pounds at my last WI. My only "goal" for this week is to write EVERYTHING down. I want to exercise, I want to eat all of my servings of fruit and veggies, but I need to start out with my most basic problem. Don't get my wrong I am going to TRY to exercise, etc....but I am going to concentrate on writing everything down first.
I think I mentioned this before, but I had to change WI days (from Tuesday to Saturday) I do still have the same leader, but it is difficult joing a new group. Have any of you had to do this?
Yep! I switched to a meeting that was closer to home. The first couple of weeks were weird but the leader was really nice. Unfortunately one month later he left as he got a new job that required him to travel and we got a new leader but she is really great too.
The group at first seemed to be dominated by 2 or 3 people who were the ones that always had something to say but I think it was partially due to them having strong personalities and the other members being shy. They have since left and the group dynamic has changed and is more even now. Some that never spoke up and now sharing ideas and asking questions though I notice only 3 of us will sit in the front row
I think in order to get the most of your meeting you need to ask questions and speak to the group to feel more involved - don't be shy, we are all there to lose weight and support each other. If you just start by smiling at people and saying hello it will break the ice.
I spent last night reviewing my WW materials to get motivated. I slacked off on journaling for the last few weeks so this is my first day back to square one.
I am also going to review one of the WW quick cookbooks as my life is about to start getting busier and I will need some quick meal ideas.
The good news is that my dance class starts up again on the 14th so I will be getting more exercise.
I guess we are all going through the same thing. I find when you lose your motivation it's really hard trying to get back OP.
I had a couple of times this week when I felt like saying screw this and wanting the biggest plate of fries I could get my hands on. All anyone had to say was come on and I would have eaten it. Luckly, Duane, my significant other, took control and I ate healthy and stayed within my points. Gotta love him for that. I may just be down again this week for that. I will ahve to reward him for it
Anyway I better be getting for my walk now because I have to work again tonight so I'm running out of time.
Not long back from my weigh in and I'm down another 5.6 pounds.
That's a total now of 11.4 pounds in two weeks. It seems like alot for two weeks but it will slow down alot now. That seems to be the way my body works.
I managed to keep my journal over the weekend which is a huge accomplishment for me.
I seem to be able to do well during the week and then it all goes out the window come Friday night
I know I could do so much better with my weight loss if only I could get the weekends under control.
I have that weekend journalling problem, too. For me, it's because I slack off on the weekends a little and even though I generally have enough flex points to accomodate it, I feel like I've failed and I don't want to see all that failure in my journal.
sister- eep! when you put it that way I can totally understand
My problem is that I get too busy running errands, socializing etc and then I forget. Then by Sunday I have completely forgotten what I had so then I don't bother...this is a habit I am trying hard to break.
