Doctor Review on my ankle and my whole weight loss
My ankle - Well it's for sure my blood pressure meds. It's going to take a least 10 days to get my swellen down and back to normal. I have my annual blood work in September so we will try some other one then. This will be my 3rd attempt to finding a BP med. I seem to always get the side-effects. Since the last time I was in her office I show a lost of 9 pounds - she is extremely happy with me (that proves how much more weight I had on) and told me to keep it up. Even my BP wasn't terrible it was 135/70 and she was not as concerned as she had been in the past with my numbers. So now I'm on this strong Water Pill to get all the fluids out and she told me to drink water - well I do anyway so that is not a problem.
I had WW class today and the scale was 196 - that's is extremely good for me as I started back on-program Friday! I'm hoping to get closer to the 189 area.
This is a good start to losing the 71lbs.
:D

Exercised with bum ankle..
I was not going to let this swollen ankle prevent me from going to ab ball class today. I just didn't do the one foot balancing one putting a strain on it. I'm waiting till about 230 and I'm calling my GP... gosh I hate this! I know it's my med she is going to switch me again but I can't stand this either. I want to walk and get some cardio in but all I can do for that is bike.
Tomorrow is weigh in at Weight Watchers and I look forward to it as I know I lost some. budda bring me good luck.

aaaaa the weekend
I did good I stayed on track. Wanted something sweet last night so I had a 1 pt peanut mini bar from Weight Watchers. It took a long time to eat as it is chewy and I watched MY Antonio.... he is cute but why would anyone with his status need to go on a reality show for finding a love of his life. I will watch this as Hawaii is beautiful and it's always a nonsense type reality show all this match up stuff.
My ankle is still swollen not as bad but I will be calling my Doctor by Tuesday. Since i have Thursday off to take my daughter to College I can always make an appointment for the morning. Hopefully my doctor is in... oh boy - She will not be happy with my weight gain.
I got an interesting letter in the mail from my hubbies insurance it states that they will reimburse up to 150.00 a year for WW and some of a gym membership. I should call on the WW part? The gym - well I have a free one at work. I am thinking of taking up a water aerobic class once my DD is in college.
Well Weigh in on Tuesday and I'm still pucking along so I feel better.

Day 1 and my goals being set
So here I am again - a year later and a lot heavier I now have 71 pounds to lose. But I'm going to take this one day at a time. My goal is to be 179 - 175 by the Holidays. That is 26 weeks from now and about 1/2 to 2 lbs a week. Not a crazy goal. As long as I'm in the 170s range I'm happy!
Riding into work today I thought of all my downfalls and tried to recall when I was successful. Here is what I came up with... exercise is the key for me. Even just a daily walk helps. We have classes and a gym at work - use it! If WW class that day get up early use a DVD or walk the dog. Also I am famish by the time I get home and last week at WW a member made a comment that made sense to me. You eat lunch at 12 to 1 by the time you get home it's 6 or 7 and eat from 7 to 8 wow, that is over a 4 hour window without food. 1 o'clock to 8 o'clock?!. No wonder I grab chips or something. So what I am going to do is eat a snack at 330p - 400p to curb the hunger. What a great idea!
Another thing... no longer eating in the family room - I set a place at the table.
So onward to my journey and hoping for 2 lbs off by next Friday!
I can do this

RESTARTING
I have fallen off the wagon (again). I can't believe how terrible I feel I went from staying in the 190 range to 200 and I am soooooooo miserable. So I restarted and taking this a day at a time.
I haven't used this blog in almost a year and found it in my email folder. What a better way to start by blogging.
I'll be checking in daily!

Where am I? My Pattern need to be in control of me
So I’m sitting here disgusted with myself that I’m back to 192 pounds. It’s where I seem to always stabilize at, if I get lower to 188 I never seem to stick with that weight. Nor do I get lower the 186 in the last 3 years. Why is that? I have a pattern I truly need to break. I have no excuses now. Holidays are gone, all the major birthdays, mine, his. Valentine’s Day is nice but not a biggy for us. My DH doesn’t buy me a box of chocolates. If anything I get a card and maybe a candy bar – that’s not a sabotage for me I won’t go over board. I’m not as much as a sweet eater as a bulk food, snack eater. Plus I noticed I tend to stuff my face when I get home. I need to change that pattern. My challenge for this week, starting today is a few things.
1st Challenge
Not to snack before dinner. I need to make a cup of tea or broth instead of eating Low fat chips, hummus and crackers, cheese slices, etc. I tend to go for the high carbs before dinner. What good is that doing?
2nd Challenge
A better exercise routine – I need to up it. Working out at lunch is good but I need to work out at home as well. Even a WATP 15 min tape or bike for 20, something more. Mornings are better but after work is possible. Keep me from snacking, maybe?
3rd Challenge
Pick a recipe in WW book and make at least one a week. Try a new meal every week.
I feel I’m not in control of myself and I need to be. I also need to do this for me.
Plan Plan Plan
And
Focus Focus Focus
I can do this!
