Well, it's been a good week weight-wise. I lost 3.2 lbs this week which made me pretty happy! Still waiting on the working out, the coughing just won't stop. I really wish I could just get over this already so I can get on with getting back into some sort of workout routine. WW is still going really well. It really doesn't seem like too big of a deal, I just have to think more about what I choose to eat (which is a good thing anyway). So, we'll see what this next week brings!

Wow, what a week this has been! First off, I'm sick again (or still, whatever). Tues, Wed, and Thurs I coughed so much and so hard I thought I almost wished to die. Friday I went to the doctor and was told that, of course, it's viral and there is nothing to be done. The doctor said that I probably caught this round while I was still recovering from the last... awesome... I did have a really good week on the diet side. WW is still going really well and this week I lost 2.8 lbs! Probably all the coughing counted as "working out". So, that part of the week made me pretty happy! I'm now down 10.8 lbs and trying not to look too far forward. ...it's a journey, not a race...

March...how is it March already??? I have been doing WW for 6 weeks now and really the time has gone by so fast and really, it's been pretty easy. Sure I would like to have lost more than the 8 lbs I've lost so far but, it's 8 pounds less than I would be if I hadn't started and really, isn't that the point? This week I lost .4 lbs. The .4 lbs that I gained last week. Also, this week was shortened by 2 days so I actually lost it in 5 days instead of 7. I decided to do my weigh-ins on Friday morning instead of Sunday. Our family eats out on Friday night and I found myself up a little on Saturday morning and it was causing me too much stress and frustration. I want to enjoy being Friday nights with my family, not stress about them! So, well see how that goes this next week. Oh, and big surprise...I didn't work out this week...

So, I gained this week. I kind of freaked out about it a little but then I got a message from WW telling me that a gain on occasion is normal. I only gained .4 lbs so I'm keeping that in perspective. It's so frustrating to gain when I feel like I have to fight for every ounce of weight loss. I didn't work out AGAIN this week. I've got to get up earlier or something...and find a way to get my head on straight about it. I will choose to look forward and not back because it's a journey, not a race!

Well, this was the week that wasn't. Wasn't good for exercising (I did none. I'm still coughing and using that as an excuse), wasn't good for eating (I had 2 pepsis, gooey chocolate/coconut bars and chocolate chip cookies), wasn't good for losing weight (I only lost .2 lb this week). But, it WAS a week that I did log everything I ate, stayed within my points for the week and DID lose some weight. This week I'm determined to stop making excuses and get my butt on the treadmill at least! It's a journey, not a race!!!

2/13/11

Well, it's been an ok week. I'm still fighting off this cold that has been hanging on so I didn't work out this week. WW is going good. I'm still constantly having to remind myself that it's ok to lose this slowly. Every pound is one closer to my goal and I lost 1.8 lbs this week. Repeating my mantra...It's a journey, not a race...

2/6/11

Well, it was an interesting week. Sunday night I started getting a sore throat which turned into me being sick for the WHOLE week! All I did all week was sit/lay around reading/watching TV/computer. So, so much for my big plans to really work out this week. I did keep up with WW and even with no exercise I managed to lose 2.2 lbs. I have to say, with all my hesitation about starting it, I really am happy to be doing it. It's so easy to figure out and enter the points and now that all fruit has no points, it makes it even easier. I did have a serious talk with myself about unrealistic expectations. I, of course, want to lose this weight fast. But, I'm trying to remember that no matter how little I lose or how slowly it comes off, I'm still going to weigh less than now. My new motto: It's a journey, not a race!
