Movin' On Down!
So, after my first week of Weight Watchers, I lost 1.8 pounds…exciting right? Why do I feel so bad? I’ve been watching Biggest Loser! HA! Anyone else ever feel that way or is just me…Hubby lost 2.2 pounds. He was really upset, because he has been very strict on what he eats. Poor guy.
I have decided that I really need to MOVE! That will make such a huge difference in the weight loss battle. My goal in the next week is to do at least 30 minutes of something every day! That should be easy enough. Water…that’s another biggie, I love Dr. Pepper.
I got a job…so that’s one thing I can mark off my list! I’m working at Cumulus Media, the second largest broadcasting company in the US! It’s not as high paying as I would like, but it pays, and there is so much room for advancement. The position I am in is just starting out, so I am my own dept head and boss for the most part. Cool huh?
Tootles for now
Unpleasent weigh-in
So, the first trip to WW…That was a huge dose of reality! My scale here at home has been weighing me in at 185. Well, their scale, not so generous. How about 190.6! Yikes! I am still in total awe that I didn’t cry! Hubby weighed more than I thought he did, but he wasn’t at all surprised about his weight. My wonderful aunt and uncle will be joining us on this as well, so that gives me two extra accountability partners!
Yesterday was really rough, as I chose to go the points route and most of the items in our home were high in points. It was very cold and rainy and I didn’t want to drag the boys out in it, so I went to the store today and got lots of healthy snacks. I’m discovering a lot of what I have going on is habit. So, that’s a little something extra I will have to work on. I positive though!
Today starts WW
So, it’s been 17 days since my last post! Yep! I’ve been totally swamped with life and everything that comes with it. I began a major job search last week and have since had lots of calls and interviews! I really think that going back to work will help me with my motivation. It will for sure make me more active.
Tonight at 6 pm eastern time, I will be going to my first WW meeting in 4 years!! I’m so excited! The icing on the cake…my hubby is going with me! How awesome is that! He’s totally pumped as well! Finally…this is a family affair.
I’m on track with a few of my goals, so here’s to being “great in ’08!”
-
Regaining My Place in this World!!
Can I really be serious? This is the third time that I have attempted this! Wow! I’ve totally lost control of myself and my place in this world. The last few weeks, I have come to feel as though I no longer truly have my place.
Last December, when my father passed away, my husband and I moved into my mother’s home to help her out. After Landon was born in May, and since then I just feel as though I really have no “control.” I left my job, for many reasons, but now it’s come time to rejoin the work force. So, here are my “I’m going to be GREAT in 2008 Goals,” yes I said goal and not resolution!
- Lose 40 pounds by July 1, 2008.
- Have a good job by February 1, 2008
- Be leaving in our own house by July 1, 2008.
- Launch my side jewelry business by March 1, 2008.
So those are my goals and that is just for the first half of the year. I thought to keep myself from becoming too overwhelmed I would set goal for the first half of the year and then in June, I‘ll set more for the last half of the year!
So here’s to us!
Falling Off
Falling Off... that's what I seem to do lately. It's been 2 months since I came to this site, and what have I done...nothing. I find all the reasons not to do something with all the greatest reasons why I'm not doing something. Yet, I look at two beautiful boys sitting right and front of me, and what am I doing to make sure I live to see their babies? (wow, that's a scary thought)
Perhaps, it's been the fact I felt like I was doing this all alone, with no one to help me. Well, I've got my husband on the band wagon with me. I've got EP as useful tool, but I fail to use it.
So, today...I'm starting new...again! This time, it's for LIFE! As a matter of fact, today...I clean out the frige and go to the grocery store!
A New Start
So, today is a new start. I now have a 20 month old and an 8 week old. Losing weight after Dawson's birh was easy, maybe too easy it just fell right off. I was so happy that I was 30 pounds lighter than I was when I got pregnant with him. That was the smallest I had been in about 4 years. So when I got pregnant with my second I thought oh this is going to rock! I gained 22 pounds wih him and still have 8 of that to lose.
All my life I have struggled with my weght, never feeling that I had that perfect body and really, I didn't! After my dad's sudden death in December (I was 5 months pregnant) I found that I find my hand dipping in to the pantry a little more often. Funny thing is it's not have sweets, nope it's mostly pretzels or something salty! I guess that's my down fall!
That's all behind me now, because I want to be that healthy person that is in me dying to get out! I want to be a mom that my boys are proud of and not embarrassed of! I want to be ME!
