Day 1

Okay, so the move is over (the unpacking is not), and as planned, we have started Weight Watchers. I started today, not sure if Gavin did. Here's what I can tell you ... I'm hungry! This morning was fine, but lunch was not satisfying, and now I want to snack, but I am trying to be good. On the upside, I have found a few low-point snacks: dried cherries and shredded wheat mini-bites. All said, two "full-size servings" of those is only 5 points, so it's not like I spent all my points on snacks!! :-)

Biggest Loser Club

So, our church is having a Biggest Loser Club this summer. Is that perfect timing or what? The first weigh-in is this weekend ... what a great gift to all the fathers out there ... make them get on a scale! I find it kind of funny. However, I'm guessing most of the guys probably don't care. I would just like to recommend to NEVER start a Biggest Loser Club on Mother's Day!!

Getting Excited

I've talked to a few more people who are losing weight with Weight Watchers, so I'm getting excited about it.

Not Working

I'm feeling a bit discouraged about the whole one-year goal ... at last check I was still up a few pounds, and the stress in my life is rather high. So, I'm probably going to take a break from blogging about this until we get moved. In the meantime, I am going to commit to drinking more water, less pop and exercising as much as possible, without sacrificing my "to do" list and taking care of my kids and me.

Last night, I went for a 30 minute walk with the Twins. It felt good, but told me I am not in great shape. I need to get it together.

I will probably also pack up the scale. I was actually feeling pretty good about how I was looking and how my clothes were fitting, but the scale was EVIL. So, I think I will pack up the scale until it has learned it's lesson and is no longer feeling evil.

Okay ... I might be back in the next few weeks, and I might not be. However, in July I think Husby and I are going to start Weight Watchers Online, and I will have to go for walks to learn my new neighborhood, so I'll be back then for sure!

Check-In

So, it's been a busy couple of weeks. However, when I got on the scale, I seem to be about the same ... up three pounds. I am trying to exercise a little more and reduce late-night eating, so we'll see how it goes. Also, Husby and I are planning to start Weight Watchers after the big move. The last time we did that, we both had great results, but then I got pregnant with Pearl, so we stopped.

blah

Up again ... total net gain/loss ... plus 3 pounds right now. I'm thinking of throwing away my scale. Oh, I know, I'll pack it up for a few weeks. :-)

Working three overnights a week is not good for my overall health, so I try not to do it very often, but have done it last week and this week. ARGGG!

Thursday

I did my weigh-in today ... the same as last week. ARGG!
