Da Bears! And loosing weight

Well,  I gotta say, I am loving the weight watchers way! Friends who have done have said, there will be weeks you feel you did great and find you gain and weeks you feel you did poorly and yet you lose. That is so true! I am not down 10.2 pounds! Still going! So I am motivated to keep it up. trying to get more walking worked in. And more work outs sometime soon.

I have to tell you, the other night Jon and I went to the Bears/Packers game. Amazing! I know! He got invited by a company he uses for work. And we were just stunned we were there, sitting is a skybox at an awesome game! But here is the hard part, it was stocked full of food and goodies. I thought there is no way I will "not" gain as my weigh was the next day! I thought, I may have completely blown in! Then, it got "worse" at the end of the game. There was a knock on the door and a voice that said "dessert cart"...I went out to see...wow. The card was huge and had every kind of chocolate dessert you could see! I wanted one of everything...but then thought...I wonder if this is a "weight watchers" test! Maybe my WW leader was there hiding behind the dessert cart waiting to see what I would do and jump out and say "Weez! Stop! Put that down! Track your points!". So I went for at least a fruit dessert. Man it was amazing! What a "dream night". My weigh in the next day, of course my big concern...found out I had lost 2oz! That is pretty amazing...I had to take my shoes off to get the right weight!

So I am hoping for a great week!

Go Bears!!!

Frustrated...

So last week I went to my meeting, only to find I lost .4 oz. Really? After all that counting and watching what I eat? Glad to have found I was not alone. But I feel like I am at a stand still. Kinda frustrating. But I know I just gotta keep on counting points and eating correctly right? Sometimes I feel like in the winter that I am filling up on food that is not going anywhere, as if my body is going into "hibernation mode". So if you see stuffing food in my cheeks, totally kidding! I did get some great ideas for low point quick snacks at the meeting though! Trader Joe's has these chicken cilantro wantons. 5-6 of them are only  1 point! And I found some rice snacks there too that are pretty good! So that is groovy!


Well I hope to say that weight loss is on the way for me!


Have a great day!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

What is it about this time of year that seems to make you so tired?? I just feel exhausted all the time! I think it is getting back into the groove of school and fall in general. So even getting the time and motivation to write well has been a task on its own!


But hey, good news...last week at weight watchers weigh in I found out I had lost 3.8 pounds! That is pretty amazing coming out of the Labor day weekend! Although honestly I almost had to run away from all the food that was out at the family reunion cookout! I had one serving and would have eaten more had I not stopped and asked myself if I really needed that extra burger! So all went well!


Now for this week...well I will wait and see how I do. I gotta tell you, I know some think the idea of counting points as time consuming, and I would have been one of those people. But it is so easy! I don't have to think about it too much anymore. Simple way. I love that I can eat what I want when I want it but to remember everything has a point value. So it's all good in my book.


Now..I think I may sneak in a nap, this has made me tired again! LOL!

Put down the Zingers!

So I had gained a little according to the meeting the other night. Discouraged? Yep! You saw as I wrote about that. Yesterday I was walking by this big box of Zingers...without thinking I went to the box to get one and start eating! I stopped myself, thought about those Zingers for along time! THen I saw my friend Cheryl had sent me an email. She is doing WW too. She encouraged me (as did many others on facebook, man that helps!) She said dont eat sweets! IT was good timing too! Kinda funny. You may be wondering "Weez why then do you have Zingers in the house?" well I have a teenage son. So well he likes em in his lunch. I feel much better today. Going to use my lunch break to walk with my friend who is also doing WW. Well, good reminder, you can't do it alone! Thanks guys...and I will walk away from the Zingers, in fact I have a picture in my head of someone standing in my kitchen with a big megaphone "Weez! Put down the Zingers! Walk away from the Zingers now and no one gets Hurt"...Pretty funny picture! Whatever works right?
