Having a bad week..
Between Father's Day and going to the water park, I haven't made the best choices this week when it came to eating! It's time to get back on the wagon and get serious with my weight loss efforts... and remember that we're going out of town this weekend and I must keep my wits about me when it comes to eating.
Here is a picture of me taken yesterday... I really like it, but want to see it getting smaller and smaller.
Time to get refocused!

WW Week 3- Keep on Moving...
I'm down 10.4 lbs. in body and hundreds of pounds in spirit and close to my first goal of 15 lbs. down.... which is 5 percent of my original weight. I hope that I can achieve that goal by Aug. 1 and am not going to beat myself up to make it come any sooner.
I've had a lot going on in my personal life, but have tried not to let that affect my weight loss efforts... and that's a big step for someone that eats to make myself feel better or to "choke" my emotions.
On to Week 4... next week I'm going to be weighing in Virginia Beach as we'll be visiting my in-laws for the weekend. I hope the scales there will be kind to me also.

Weigh-in - Week 2 on Weight Watchers
Wow, it's been a stressful week for me that started out with a whirlwind trip to Virginia Beach and Stafford and then ending with the anniversary of my Daddy's death. There has also been some family drama to add into the mix just to keep it interesting.
Plus, I have the infamous uncle visiting for the first time since Julius was born... ah, the joys of pregnancy and what you miss... NOT!
So I was really just hoping to maintain my initial weight loss and not lose any weight so imagine my surprise when I got on the scales and had dropped TWO MORE POUNDS!
WOO HOO! I have now lost 8.6 lbs. since starting WW.
I've been really good about eating this week and didn't run to the kitchen when I got stressed or upset, but I haven't tracked everything like I should.
That will stop as I go back to my tracking and keep myself on track.
