I know...I am behind!

I am doing good.  I know I have not been posting.  Frankly I have not felt I had much to post.  I hit my 75 lb goal around the first of Nov.  I have been working on maintaining that.  I needed a bit of a break from trying to lose.  I have been successful at maintaining.  I have been staying between 196 and 194 pretty much every day.
Weight watchers just did a major overhaul of their program.  Everything has changed.  I dont have the mental energy right now to learn a new program.  I know the points of foods right now.  I dont want to learn a new point value for every food.  So that being said....I have stopped going to WW so I dont have my monday weigh in there.  I am a bit irritated that it has all changed.  I frankly feel they should have an option to stay with the old program.  I dont want to buy all new point guides and cookbooks.
Today I did decide I am ready to start moving in a negative (weight) direction again.  Of course as you can imagine it is getting harder and harder to lose.  My goal is to be in the mid 180's by the end of Jan.  I think I can do that!  I am going to Minneapolis for several weeks in Jan.  My sister has gotten me a gym membership to a really nice gym there.  My plan is to go every morning after I drop her kids off at school.  I'll let you know how that works out.  I am not going until Jan 4th.
the week of Christmas is traditionally a hard week to eat healthy.  I am working every day this week (although some days I am only there 4 hours) so I am hoping it will not be too hard.  I have been really good about keeping my hands out of the crap that always is around at work.

I appreciate everyone's support and love!
Hope your holidays are going great!

  1. Hey I just found your blog. You have done an AMAZING JOB!!! I really don't understand all of the WW stuff, but can't you just continue to do the program with the old system? If it works for you I would just keep doing it.

    Whatever you do...don't quit. You are so close to your goal. It may take a while, but a while will happen anyway, you might as well give it your all and get this done.

    You can do it!! Stay focused!!

  2. You know what works for you by now! Keep weighing yourself every week (at home, maybe) and stay accountable and you will succeed. You can go back to WW if you need it. I can see that you might want a break from it anyway. This has been about a lifestyle change more than about Weight Watchers. I am so proud of what you have accomplished! You are amazing! Love, Sarah
