Well I went to Weight Watchers tonight and I’m down 2.6 lbs. What is wrong with me that I am disappointed that it’s not more? Before anyone says it I know that is a good weightloss. I guess I just had it in my head that because I had lost upwards of 6 lbs the first week of my diets in the past that I would this time too.

I think I might be PMSing. Why else would I be so down about this?

I had such a great day yesterday. I visited my doctor who I saw right before Thanksgiving and found out I had lost 10 lbs since then.  I geared myself up for a good portion of that to have been from my first week of  Weight Watchers this past week. Turns out it wasn’t. I guess what they say about turning thirty and your metabolism slowing drastically is true.

It doesn’t help that ONCE AGAIN I’m sick. Sore throat, congested. I just don’t feel good and I’m so sick of being sick this winter. It started in when the kids began school back in August and we only seem to be able to manage a week here and there in between illnesses when everyone in the house is healthy.

So anyway, I have 2.6lbs gone and 147.4 to go.

Tomorrow is a new day. Begin again Finnagin.

Just having a blah day, but I wanted to check in and say hi and see how everyone else is doing!

An interesting and informative article from the Canadian Reader’s Digest. 

I understand totally the slowly sloth post that went out recently on this blog. My weight is coming off, but it is not in big chunks. This week, I lost 1.2 pounds.

But, i still consider this a victory. Some is better than none and definitely better than a gain. I switched meeting locations and had to weigh midday AND it was a short week because it was on Thursday instead of Saturday. So, I expected a gain or to stay the same this week. I can’t complain with a pound lost.

I am now starting week six with the Weight Watchers materials and I have lost 6.2 pounds. A pound a week…at this rate, it will take me a long time to get to my goal, but at least I’m making progress, inch by inch, little by little.

Weight loss to date: 6.2 pounds; Pounds 2 Go: 23.8

Okay, so it doesn’t take much to excite me. You’ve probably been able to buy this for a while now in the US, but fat-free Miracle Whip is new on our grocery shelves! Here in Canada, it has a green lid, but it’s the same product! I am now able to have a toasted, tuna salad sandwich for less than 200 calories when made with WW bread. Yay! :dance:

That’s how I feel about my weight loss progress! I’m down 2.5 pounds from my start 3 weeks ago. I’ve also lost 2.5 inches off my waist and 1.5 inches off my thigh. It seems my rear end is staying put however. It certainly isn’t coming off as fast as I would like and 2.5 pounds doesn’t seem like much for three weeks, but its still coming off. I also broke one of the zero numbers today so I feel good about that. I’ve had to put away my treadmill because we’ve started framing walls to finish our basement. Instead I bought two videos that I’ve been doing and have enjoyed and my knees don’t hurt as bad either. (Pilates and Fat Burning for Dummies available at Target for $12.99 ea) It’s for those of us that are a bit clumsy and not so good at moving front, back, side to side and breathing all at once without falling down. I’ve been drinking my water and I know I need to still pay more attention to what I’m eating and that is my goal for the next week. I’ve also decided that I will likely only be checking in here once a week. Working, homework, getting my son caught up on phonics and the upcoming science fair projects are keeping us all busy. If it comes down to working out or checking in here I’m working out. Hope all of you are having a great day! Work out and have fun!

Pounds2go – 20!
