Week 4, Day 28 - My First Real Bump in the Road

So, last night my hubby and I went to a fundraiser called "Soups-N-Suds" where many local businesses (restaurants, taverns, liquor distributors, etc.) provided tasty treats and yummy beverages all in the name of charity. My hubby and I tagged along with another couple and really had a great night. So, where's the bump you might ask? Well, if you scroll down to my post on Day 15, you'll note that I talk about writing down everything including my alcohol consumption. Well...last night was really hard. First, we ate a variety of "little" things (small cups of soup, little snackies, etc.) and drank a lot of little beers. Unfortunately {here is where I hang my head in shame} I did overindulge in the Suds part of the night and I'm not quite sure how to track it. So...what I ended up doing was taking my remaining PointsPlus for the day and the remaining weekly balance and put them down as my total intake for the event. Well, that number was 52, so I'm really hoping I didn't go over that!! :) We'll see tomorrow at weigh in...Yikes!!!

WW...still and again!

Here we go...again. I've tried WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) over and over and over again. July 28, 2018 I committed to starting again and taking it seriously. By January 1, 2019, I was down 15 lbs. from July and 20 lbs. over all. I made it through the holidays but unfortunately, I didn't make it through the new year. My will came crashing down and the weight is slowly going back on. Well, I've decided to take to blogging again hoping to find my will and motivation and get back up again. Here I go!!!

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...

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...
