I am starting over this week.  I needed a re-do (thanks Elle) but I am keeping the weight I alreadly lost as part of my 10 lb prize (thanks Cathy)  I am down 4 lbs.  (I gained another pound) but I was expecting it which is why I am starting over.   When I get down 10 lbs, I am buying myself a pair of shoes.  I love shoes.

At the meeting we were talking about how to prevent eating out of boredom/stress/depression  whatever when you are home.   I eat out of boredom which I know.  Which is why I don’t keep crap in the house.   If it’s here I will eat it.

A friend of mine read on the WW website that most people eat in their happy place.  All of us thought immediately of the “in theory” happy place.  They meant that most people have a same seat that they watch tv from, read, eat in.  For me, on the loveseat in front of the tv.  It said not to eat there.  Because that’s where you are comfortable so you don’t pay attention to what you are eating or doing.  Which is true.     I eat all meals in front of the tv.  I live alone…sitting at a table by myself is just sad.   But, if you eat at a table with no distractions, you get full faster and don’t realize it.  And you will supposedly prevent snacking.   We will see about that.  I was challenged to eat at the table.   I am going to try it.  I will put my radio on, otherwise to quite and sad, grab a book (which is a no no bye the way, but I have to do something, reading actually slows down my eating)  I am ok this weekend as my sister and niece will be here it’s the normal days when I get home and just am by myself.
I will see.   tonite is nite one.  I am going to put my laundry in the dryer, vaccuum, make the bed for my sister and pull out the crib for the princess, and eat.

Go me.  Wish me luck

Okay ladies, I’m calling for a roll call. I know that many of you have difficulty getting all of your water in each day. To figure how much water I plan to drink each day I take my current weight and divide it by 2 and use that number in ounces.

Today is Wednesday and it’s 4:47pm my time. I’ve had 96 oz of water so far today. And I’m not done yet.

How much water have you had so far today?

Ammie: -24 lbs and 146 lbs 2 go.

My official Wednesday weigh-in this morning shows a total loss of 1.5lbs since last week.  I’ll take it!  That’s 10.5lbs lost.

I’m not surprised it’s not more — I discovered a couple more “ooopsies” last night!  (1) I baked a blueberry buckle for dessert last night.  In an 8×8″ pan, I cut it into nine even pieces, each one quite small.  Well, each one of those pieces has >300 calories and I HAD TWO!  :bawling:   And (2) I had a Cup of Soup (mushroom) last evening instead of something more evil (like another piece of the cake!).  Cup of Soup is low in calories … but it has 750mg of sodium!  :shocked:  So, two more lessons learned.

I know, I know — you’d think I’d know by now that dessert is just a BAD idea, plain and simple.  But you know how it is, you think, those pieces are so small…

P2G:  57.5 [-10.5] 

I haven’t posted in several days. I’ve been waiting to be able to announce that I’m at 10 pounds lost.

But alas, I’m still not there. UGH!! Weight loss has started slowing down for me. The first 8-9 pounds came off fairly easy. Then everything grinded to a halt. Guess my body is thinking, “what the heck is she doing?!” The past week the scale has been bouncing back and forth between two numbers, refusing to go any lower. Only one more pound to go till I’ve lost 10… but it’s taking forever.

No worries, I am not giving up though. I’ve set myself a goal that once I make it to 15 pounds, I get to buy myself a purse in one of the new Vera Bradley patterns. If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is!

Elle called a Re-do.   I want one too.   I wasn’t going to get weighed today and just re-start being “good” (I hate that term)  Not that I wasn’t being good but I could have been better.  So I took yesterday off, but not really.   Then I realized (this morning) if I want a re-do and am restarting WW.  Then today is the first day instead of whatever week I am on (6 I think)   So, I am going, taking my lumps and making this week 1 and just gonna go for it.
