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!)

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...

Clean Slate!

I have a clean slate! Well, kind of. Yesterday I walked back through the doors of Weight Watchers and decided to ask for a clean slate. I missed the last three weekends and decided that yesterday was going to be a very sad day for me in terms of weighing in. So, I walked in, told the receptionist that I was "starting over" and that is what I did! She deleted my previous history from the computer and I'm acting like a new member. So...my new starting weight is 161.6 lbs. and I'm going forward from there. I can do this. I have a good feeling about this. It's all on my shoulders but I really need to lose some weight this summer and I'd love to see goal by September 5th. Technically, it's "only" 20.6 lbs. but back when I was about 5 lbs. from goal, I thought I had it. Apparently I did not. (Insert sad face here.) There are 15 weeks between now and September 5th. There is a holiday on Monday (cookout at home...I've got this!) and a holiday July 4t...
