Weight Watchers:: Week 5

I'm saying today's weigh in was by the grace of God, truly, that I lost and did not gain.  I lost a pound, not sure how at all... I decided with my friends coming into town this weekend, that I wasn't counting points.  I also got pretty sick last Wednesday and had to go to urgent care and get a few shots, so that day once I started feeling better, I treated myself to Bojangles:)  I am 100% and committed again, and I had a salad last night for dinner, so we are good now.  Only have seven more weeks of my initial committment and swimsuit time is right around the corner.  My stomach is definitely not where I want it, but I am a continual work in progress in many areas of my life, so I will still work at it and not give up:)  Quick fit was brutal this morning and tonight I will do pilates before the girls and I get together for the Bachelor.

Happy Monday!!!

Weight Watchers:: Week 4

This post is late, because I didn't want to post, but the truth is I didn't lose or gain, stayed the same.  I know there will be weeks like this, as it is hard to lose weight when you are already in your range of weight for your height.  I feel like one of those people on the biggest loser when they didn't lose and people just stare and can't believe, haha.  Truth is though, I had mexican on Valentine's day with some friends and it was freaking awesome:)  I am okay with these results and I still worked out just as hard. 

This week may not be good either, as I have my best friends from college coming to town and we are going to enjoy a girl's weekend.  In addition, I am dating and guys want to treat me to nice meals, so goodness, if I say, no to alcohol and just eat like a rabbit, they think I am weird or have an eating disorder, haha.  I will figure it out and balance, my goal is to lose 25 pounds total, so I CAN do this.

Weight Watchers:: Week 3

Full disclosure, we are not always going to be perfect, haha.  This week I had lasik eye surgery, which for the record was awesome, but these dry eyes they talk about are for the birds... but I am trying to be "aggressive" as they say with the drops.  I am a rule follower, like whoa, so I am hoping that at my one week post check up that all of the concerns I am having will be "normal."  Yesterday I had blurry vision in my right eye that was terrible, and today I can barely keep my eyes open or enough drops in them they are so dry, yikes... but this too will pass, right:)

I went on a retreat with my church, that was amazing (it will get a post to itself) when I get five seconds of free time, but for now, I will say that I had Bojangles on my way home, and it was delicious.  I will say I still counted it and just didn't eat the biscuit, but those french fries tasted WONDERFUL:)  it is so great that you don't have to deprive yourself.  i wasn't allowed to work out for 72 hours, which I thought was nuts, but the rest was good.

So, for Week 3, I still lost, which was great, but only 1.2 pounds.  So, that brings my total weight loss to 5.2% from the start... I'll take it... I have lost a total of 8.6 pounds in three weeks:)  I think this is a healthy way to do it:)

Thanks for all the encouragement:)

Weight Watchers:: Week 2

Yall, this works:)  So, this week it got a little harder, but seeing that this program works is totally worth it!!!  I know that I am developing healthy habits that will stick with me.  The thing is I am watching portion control and learning that you can't just snack (unhealthy) all the time.  When you are bored, you can't just eat.  I need to learn to drink more water. 

So, I am also learning that I have to use my time wisely.  exercise when I can.  I love pilates and my goal is get rid of these love handles and this muffin top (sounds disgusting typing it or saying it, so this is my goal).  I am trying hard not to obssess. 

If someone has any suggestions on how to get me to like veggies more or to enjoy cooking that would be great, because no lie, I hate cooking.  I'd love for my future husband to love to cook, I don't mind cleaning... I am terrible at it.  I even tried to make healthy smoothies recently, but I failed at that, haha. 

So, results for this week... I lost 2.6 pounds... oh yes, that makes a total of 7.4 pounds in 2 weeks:)  Percentage of body weight lost... 4.5% so far:)
