I Joined Again

For weeks I have talked about re-joining Weight Watchers. I have put it off and put it off because I have been lazy and I have also been enjoying food that I shouldn't eat so much of. I finall went last night. I really nervous about joining again because I don't want to fail again.

Last month I weighed myself at home and I weight 238 and last night when I weighed in at WW I weighed in at 245.2. That's a lot of weight in one month, HOLY COW! I forgot to weight myself at home last night so I could compare the scales, but I will as soon as I get home today.

My goals today are:

• Keep track of my points in my journal
• Drink 6 glasses of liquid

I'll start small today, but I also hope to stay within my points. Keeping track is a big thing for me so I will focus on that today.

Wish me luck!

1 Point Bagels

Western Bagels: The Alternative Bagel is only 1 point. The bagels are a little smaller and really good. If you use WW 1 point cream cheese it's a perfect addition to breakfast or a great snack. So far I've only located these bagels at Walmart.

0 Point Fudge Bars

Blue Bunny Health Smart Fudge & Vanilla Fudge Bars are 0 points and they are so yummy. It's a perfect treat when you have a sweet tooth.

Sunday Outlook

My goal this past month and week to was at least exercise and I didn't. Well I did one day but that's it. Depressing. I have been thinking about starting back on Weight Watcher this week adn wondering if I should sign up in the program or just try it by myself with the information I know. Sometimes, it's so challenging to make it to the meetings between the kids activies, my church calling and life but the meetings help with information and support.

Friday I talked to my sister Kris and her and her husband Shawn have been doing Weight Watchers this past month. She has lost 8 pounds (and she didn't need to lose any) and Shawn has lost 18 pounds. After talking to Kris I was more motivated that I could do this.

January 18th

I haven't done anything this week to be healthier. I did exercise one day, but that's it. I haven't made heathlier food choices and I haven't been drinking my water like I should. It's discouraging but I won't give up. I will cut myself some slack since it's the Film Festival and my life is crazy for the next week.

Monday Goals

Yay! I exercised this morning although is was for 25 minutes instead of 30 minutes but I'm happy I have a treadmill. My other goals today are:

• drink 6 glasses of water
• make healthy food choices
• don't eat after 7:00pm

Sunday Something

I haven't really used this blog since May of last year. I updated a few things and have decided to start using again so I can chart my weight loss goals. For now I will keep it private and hope I don't disappoint myself.

I need to start exercising again and eating healthy. It was so hard for me last year to stick to the healthy eating and I even eventually stopped the exercising. I felt like a failure and I don't want to set myself up for failure now but I need to make some lifestyle changes.

Work has been really busy this past week and will continue to be stressful until the end of the month. My goal for the remainder of the month is to exercise 5 days a week, drink more water and make some healthier food choices. I'm not going to concentrate on the food as much until the end of the month. I have been considering joining Weight Watchers again for help and support.
