Weigh-in

Well I am down 2.4 lbs. I think it would have been another lb if I had actually stuck to drinking some water this weekend. I also ate out twice and didnt make the best choices ever.

but 2.6 is something to be proud of.

I was in a funk all weekend...and it crept into today. I think I am PMSing, but since I have the IUD I dont get AF anymore, so its hard to tell. I hope thats all it is though..probably a combo of that and not eating like I should have been.

I am walking today at lunch and going to try and do some sort of workout on Fit Tv tonight. I vowed I would start working out this week so I HAVE TO!!!!

The weekend ahead

So I had some coffee at Starbucks last night...a Grande even....8pts, but I was still under for the day. It was delish!!

I am feeling thinner....not so bloated and it doesnt hurt to suck in my stomach anymore!

This weekend I have to STAY STRONG. Its always harder being home and not on a normal 8-5 schedule for eating. I dont seem to want to eat breakfast but I know that helps keep my metabolism going so I will VOW to eat breakfast both days. No Starbucks at church...that my weekly thing...and definitly no gooey maple bar. They are probably easily 15pts for one donut.

I am excited for Mondays weigh-in, hoping for another 3lbs!!

180lbs here I come!!! Once I hit that goal my next will be 160....then anything below that is uncharted territory for me. Well I did get around 156 RIGHT before I got prego with Jams and then gained 45lbs while prego with her...DANG eating for two theory.

Heres hoping you all stay strong and dont give in to temptation over the weekend!!!

I survived!!!

a craving....

Today I wanted to have something "out" since I have been eating my frozen meals all week for lunch. My old stand bys Chipotle and Togos are to far away. I look up taco bell 15pts, mcdonalds, 11pts, KFC 9pts with no dressing....WAHH No wonder I am fat!!

Then she did it...

my co-worker walks in with freaking McDonalds...Big Mac and Large Fries. How dare she!!! I gave her crap for bringing it in here in all its glory and she offers me some. UM NO THANKS!!! I am normally not a big fan of McDons but when I am having a moment and its in my face man oh man its smeeeeelllls good!!!

I settle on Subway, which is not my favorite....but I can get a sandwich for 6pts. Then I remember I had my taco soup in the fridge!! 2pts!! So I am eating that now with a diet A&W.

Jen 1 Fast Food 0

Tonight I am saving points for some starbucks. Me and some girlfriends get together once a month and have coffee and talk. So will it be 6pts for a small (WAHH I LOVE VENTI) non-fat white choc mocha and sip it slooooow...or should I bring my own coffee with my pack of hot chocolate for 2pts??

Another day

I am feeling so much more in control of at least my eating. Its amazing what a little tiny bit of willpower will do. I tried weight watchers in the past but didn't keep great track of my eating and also would say well I have 24 pts today, let eat a huge slice of 10pt cake instead of knowing that would throw off my whole day in a BIG way.

I am feeling closer to God....praying daily that He helps me get stronger and fight the urge to cheat and I notice that the things I used to want and used to cheat on I am fighting off. **cough Starbucks cough** I love feeling in control. I love feeling stronger and each craving I fight off I feel empowered. That may sound silly, but its true.

here is to STRONG EMPOWERED WOMEN getting SKINNY!!

Shout out to my girls on the diet wagon!!!

Michelle....Lindsay....Katie....Sheri....Angela.....Deanne..... girls each one of you are helping me on this journey and I am grateful for your kind words and encouragement!!

Weigh In

I am down 3lbs this week. I am very happy and very proud I have stuck to something for an entire week LOL! I am moving down to 24pts this week which is 2 points lower, but since I broke the 200lbs mark I have to. I also REALLY need to get moving this week even if its just walking at lunch to start.

My weekend went decent. I did have a starbucks, but I added it into my points and only went over by 2 on that day. I do get 35 flex points to use where ever I need them throughout the week, but I try and not use them to lose faster.

Me and the Marvelous Michelle did a ton of texting to keep each other accountable and both made some taco soup (2pt's)

Day 5

Praying for strength: CHECK
Eating better: CHECK
Losing each day: CHECK
Feeling better: CHECK

And...my pimples are going away LOL! AHH who knew not eating crap and grease could also clear up my skin.

So anyone doing WW that has any good meals, recipes, snacks that work for them...leave me a comment and let me know! (you like how I assume someone else reads this LOL)

2nd chance..or was is 10th?

well here I am again...New Year, New Try!!

I started again on Monday the 5th, with my friend Michelle (who I have to come up with a catchy nickname for LOL) to do weight watchers.

202.4 was my high.

so no blogging about how things used to be anymore...or how I am now... I want to focus on who I am going to be next week, next month, next summer (when I wear a bathing suit)

GOD give me the strength to fight this battle EVERY minute of every day...and when I fall be there to pick me up and shove a carrot in my mouth!!
