Week 5, Day 36 - Has It Really Been This Long?

I was recently told but someone important to me {no, not my hubby!} that I lack follow through when it comes to stuff. Initially I was taken aback and completely offended, but after a little bit of time and some thought, I had to agree. I really, really suck at follow through. I have not miraculously become the follow through queen, but I am certainly getting better at it. I sit here tonight, er, this morning and reflect on the last 35 days of being on WW and I am really proud of myself and how I've handled this lifestyle change. Do I need improvement? Absolutely! But I'm gaining control over myself and what I put into my body. Follow through? I think so. Now to follow through on some other things in my life...

Oh! I almost forgot! I need rewards. Yep, I need rewards. Who doesn't?! So, here are my current rewards planned for weight loss goals met...

#1 - 5 lbs - met on 2/5/12 {gave myself a pat on the back for this one!}
#2 - 5% {8.5 lbs} - met on 2/12/12 {Got a Shellac manicure...love those!}
#3 - 10 lbs. - HOPEFULLY this is happening this weekend! Not sure what I'll reward myself with but should probably think of something quick!!
#4 - 10% {17 lbs} - New jeans, will probably need them by then!
#5 - 25 lbs. - {new Harveys bag!}
#6 - 125 lbs. {44.4 lbs lost} - Bikini (or new swimsuit) for Vegas?!
#7 - Goal! {50 lbs} - Would LOVE to get a tattoo on my foot before going to Vegas, but since I won't have met this goal by then (would be nice, but highly unlikely ~ or safe? ~ that this will happen by then!)

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming

Day 1 is Done!

Yesterday was another "day one" and in the past I may have patted myself on the back (or not) and moved on. Today I am going to evaluate how I did yesterday, here we go! I did not have my FitBit charged in advance so I lost about a 1/2 day of steps and ended my day with only 3,721 steps. I guess it is better than zero. I stuck to my meal plan! Woohoo!! Here is what I ate: Breakfast: Oatmeal w/1 tsp of turbinado sugar (0 PPV) Lunch: Whole Wheat flatbread pizza with FF shredded cheese (w/1 tsp EVOO), and no salt tomato sauce (w/1 tsp Italian seasoning). (0 PPV) Afternoon Snack: Starbucks Venti Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte (0 PPV - I LOVE Simply Filling!) Dinner: 93% Lean Ground Beef Burger on a Whole Wheat sandwich thin, FF sharp cheddar slice, homemade sweet potato fries (w/1 tsp EVOO). (0 PPV) Evening Snack: Flatout Fold It, FF ricotta cheese, frozen blueberries, 1 tsp turbinado sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon (0 PPV) I drank 75 oz. of water! Yay me! I did not earn my 2

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi
