Weigh-In This Week

Well, I went to my weigh in today to see the verdict now that I feel more on track. I'm down 5 pounds. Granted, 1.8 of that is weight that I gained while off track. But that still means that on top of losing that I have a significant loss. YAY!

It feels wonderful to be back on track again. I'm going to try to not get so far off track again. WW is easier when I'm "in my groove."

I have seen some significant numbers go as I've dropped pounds. Sorry - not sharing any specific numbers here. But it's been so wonderful and thrilling to see. I'm very happy with where I'm at now.

I don't know how much I've shared here, but one of my goals with this weight loss is to be at a healthy weight for my next pregnancy. It may seem weird to some to lose a bunch of weight only to put it back on with pregnancy weight. But it's not weird to me. Pregnancy is taxing on a woman's body...especially the back. Any weight that I can take off prior to putting that stress on my body would be wonderful. Not to mention, finding cute maternity clothes is hard enough without having to worry about finding something halfway cute in a larger size. Pregnant woman don't need more reasons to feel unattractive and having to wear stuff that you don't love doesn't help a woman to feel attractive!

Anyways, I pretty much dropped my baby weight with Boo immediately. There were a few pounds that came off more gradually after the pregnancy, but mostly the weight melted off when he was born. So I'm hoping to be that lucky again. The nice thing about weight watchers is that if I meet my goal weight prior to becoming pregnant I'm what they call a "lifetime member." I can go to meetings for free as long as I stay within a reasonable distance of my goal weight. I think it's within 2 lbs of my goal weight. Anyways, for pregnancy they give a woman so many weeks to get back down to their weight and then after that a woman would have to start paying if she hasn't gotten to her goal weight. That's a pretty great incentive to bust my arse after the pregnancy.

Anyhoo, this is long and rambly, but I'm glad to be back on track!

Back on the Weight Loss Train

I realize that it's been forever since I've posted on this blog. Oops. We had a week of constant cooking out. It was great fun and great food and I've been off track ever since then. Granted, I haven't gone hog wild. I just haven't been tracking my points. I did go and weigh in two weeks ago and found that I had gained 1.8 lbs...but that was after blowing off WW for 3 weeks. So I feel like that's pretty good actually. I got back off track after that weigh in and so didn't go to my weigh in this last Saturday. Bad bad bad - I know. Anyhoo, I'm having a great week so far and feel like I've finally hit my groove. I'm pretty sure that I've already lost that 1.8 lbs that I gained back, so we'll see how much of a loss I end up with at the end of this week. I can feel that I'm in my groove now though. I'm not sure why I was off track for so long. For some reason I was having a rough time feeling motivated to get back on track. I knew I wanted to, but my motivation would go right out the window as soon as I was presented with something scrumptious! I did have a lot of stress and change in the last month, so I'm sure that contributed to the problem.

So anyways, what's done is done and I'm moving on!
