I went.  I weighed.  I lost.  If you don’t recall, last week I lost 6.4 pounds.  I went today and I lost another 3.6 pounds.  That, my friends, is a cool 10 pounds in 2 weeks!  I also lost another 1 1/2 inches off of my waist and another inch off of my hips for a total loss of 3 1/2 inches from my waist and 2 inches off of my hips!  I am so proud of myself for these accomplishments.  I have worked hard and I think it is paying off in many ways.  It makes me want to work out and keep going.  I love it.

Hey Kids…..What Time Is It?

If you said Lazy Daisy’s weekly trip into the Valley of Humiliation then you were right! It’s my weekly Weight Watchers meeting and once again I am abandoned by my friend who swore that we we see this thing through “Thick or Thin!”

So far I’m the thick and she is well on her way to thin…..Now I ask you does that seem fair? She is my “nutritional counselor, point counter, cheer leader and “butt kicker” and she’s not even here!

Bear in mind that I’m not the kind of girl who enjoys doing anything by myself, much less willingly going into “Miss Perky’s Palace of Positive Prattle” without a body guard. (For her protection, not mine!) Since neither one of us could afford my bail, she quickly heads me out the door in case of a likely verbal meltdown.

I’ve been doing fairly well as far as working out goes. I worked out most days this week. I lifted or ran almost every day. Last night I was sitting on the couch and I realized I could feel shoulder muscles! I told Mr. FLinger, “Feel this!!” and he gave the fake enthusiasm a supportive husband would give. “oohhh, la la!” “Shut up! I feel it!”

That was my motivation for doing it all over again today.

I said I was going to just do it and one day I’ll be motivated because there are results. I don’t SEE the results, but I can feel it. The scale is not moving unless, that is, you count the additional three pounds it read today. When I reflected on my eating I understand where I’m going wrong. I feel that this week I did well working out so next week I will ADD in the good eating part. My goal is still to lose down to 155 by the end of February, which is now two weeks and five pounds away (again) but at least I’ll have buff arms by June.

I wrote this entry in my “diet blog” last evening and it’s something I’m really going to try to put into practice.  It makes so much sense.

Much more sense than the two cheeseburgers I had for supper last night!  Oy!  And — big surprise — the scales were up a pound this morning.  Sometimes, I think stupid is my perpetual state of mind.

I’m having a great day today, and I hope you all are, too.  There’s nothing like being a bonehead to get me back on track again.  :D  Hang in there, gang!  Saturday is just another day.

So today was my Weight Watchers Weigh In. All went well I had an additional 5 pound loss according to their scales. That makes a 12 lb total with weight watchers. (This was my fourth meeting, third week.) At home I show a loss of 19 lbs and that is simply because I know what my overall highest weight was over the holidays–by my scale. I really need a new scale.

So I’m feeling pretty good.

Then the Meeting Leader starts talking about having the desire to lose weight and how we think about it and the kind of mindset it takes to reach your goals. Then she hit a nerve. She mentioned how there are people who believe they don’t deserve to lose weight. She asks if anyone in the room felt that they didn’t deserve to lose weight. And that’s when it all went to hell.
