Feeling Frustrated Today!

This has been a rough weekend. I feel like I'm PMSing (but I'm not!) and no matter what I eat, I cannot seem to feel full or satisfied. I want junk food and I want it now! I'm burning through my WW points and my extra points and I'm going to be out of luck for the rest of the week. What is my problem?! I'm stressing out and this isn't helping!!! UGH!! I messaged a gal via Facebook {see her blog here: The Daily Mel} who I follow and adore, and her advice to me was to write a list of what will happen if I give up and stop trying. She is right! So here that list goes:

  1. I will gain back the 15 lbs. I have already lost 
  2. I will not get into that size 6 bathing suit I want to wear to Vegas this summer
  3. I will continue to look at the scale as the enemy
  4. I will not smile at myself in the mirror because I will know that I gave up
  5. I will not see a better cholesterol level this summer (this should really be #1)
Those are my top 5 things that will happen if I give up and stop trying. Now, some reminders as to why I'm doing this to begin with (a couple of these will be similar to those above!):
  1. I want to lower my cholesterol level by my HRA this summer
  2. I want to wear a size 6 bathing suit in Vegas this summer (and shorts, and pants, and a dress!)
  3. I want to feel better about myself and be able to smile at me in the mirror
  4. I want my daughters to grow up knowing how to eat healthy and make good choices
  5. I want to see my daughters grow up.
So there, that should help make me feel better. I want this. I need this. I can do this.

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...

Shopping, Cooking, and Facebook...Oh My!!

Woohoo! Today I hit the grocery store and stocked up on some WW Power Foods! I am set for breakfasts, lunches and snacks!! Dinners may be a little tougher but I think I'll be fine. :) For lunch this week, I made a delicious Taco Soup that I found on Brooke: Not On A Diet . She had FABULOUS success on Weight Watchers and I now consider her one of my heroes!! My only change to the soup was that I added a pound of ground turkey so it looks more like a chili than a soup. Nonetheless it is soup-er yummy and I highly recommend that you scoot over to Brooke's site and try it out!! For the rest of my meals and snacks, I purchased some lite breads, 94% fat free popcorn, frozen fruits, yogurt, etc. So excited to be able to eat without counting points!! I think I actually ate less the last two days than I normally would! Woot! Woot! So...Facebook. I have a private, personal account that I use to keep up with old and new friends. I love to follow other bloggers and finally decided ...
