I really want to participate, but I also write about my weight loss in my own blog, so if you don’t mind, I am going to cut and paste, and then tweak a little. 

Ever have those mornings where you wake up and you feel like a fat, ugly blob? Or you wake up and you just feel so thin and beautiful, even though your rather large pants don’t slide to your ankles? Well, I woke up feeling thin and beautiful this morning. I exercised last Sunday by walking Nikki, and I moved my treadmill so I can use it on Thursday evening. After dinner, I didn’t really have time to walk on it though because it was after 10 p.m.

When I got to Weight Watchers today, though, the scale didn’t say I magically lost 55 lbs. It said I gained. I gained 0.6 lbs. The same 0.6 lbs I lost last week. My dad is ahead. (We are having a weight loss challenge.) But I don’t know how he did this week.

I usually go to Starbuck’s as a reward. This is something my dad suggested. I didn’t go today. I also have been thinking of using something else as a reward besides Starbucks. First of all, my husband and I always end up going to Starbucks during the week so that we have one hour where we can be together. It seems like every time we meet at his job, someone seeks him out. Like they don’t have 8 other hours they can find my husband and talk to him. Anyway, I haven’t figured out what to reward myself with yet, except a nap, but next week I think I will buy the new one skillet cookbook Weight Watchers has.

This week’s meeting was interesting. We talked about the things that help us with our Weight Watchers, such as portion size, water, activity, support. Then we talked about the tools we have to help us on our weight loss journey - water cups, measuring spoons, the etools and the 12-week materials. (The last two are my contribution.) The he talked about Thinspiration. This was what thin people do that really annoy us that our on Weight Watchers, but are probably what we should be doing anyway - not stress eating, taking only one bite of food, stopping when they are full, being active. I started thinking in that meeting that I should go over my materials again.

My leader always says, "Have a good week. It is only 7 days long. You can do this for 7 more days!" Yes, I can! I can do better than I have been.

I also am going to aim for some goals this week. I haven’t put them up for a while. So, this week, I aim to:

• Walk on the treadmill twice this week.
• Journal at least two days or more. (I have been slacking on this and I am going to do what my leader suggested.)
• Read over my 12 week materials.
