Weigh in #28

At home weight: 136.2
Weight Watchers: 137.4
-3.8 from 2 weeks ago

I have to wait until 11am to weigh in because that's when they open on Tuesday. I like the ladies today 100x better. Plus there is one lady that still leads meetings from the first time. She loves E and will hold her - even when E doesn't want her to. Haha. Anyways I will drink some water and eat egg whites because I can't go that long without eating.

After I left I tried to decide what I'd splurge on. I decided Carl's Jr. I love their fries and famous burger. Mmmm. Last year, a month or so after E was born I went through the drive though and the girl working was someone I knew from somewhere else. She asked if I was pregnant! Ugh. That hurt. So for a long time I didn't go there. I went a few times in between but always held my breath hoping she wasn't working. I never saw her ... until today. On a side note I have a thing about places I shop not knowing me. I like to be anonymous. So yeah, she was working. Bleh. I sucked in the whole time we interacted. Ha. Maybe I redeemed myself?! I am 30lbs lighter. I also know I won't be going back there for a whole again. Haha. Call me anonymous.

I walked 6.5 miles today. E fell asleep so we were able to go farther. I also walked 20,500 steps today! Woot. Even with my splurge I stayed in my points. Yay! On to the next week.

Pictures and Measurements

I really didn't want to do this. I hate seeing number go up and I do not like recording them. But I still did it. It's been an emotional week that made me eat more than I wanted on a few days. I wanted to be down more today but we went out to eat at my favorite restaurant so it's hard not to eat less. We haven't been eating out as much so I kinda splurged.

I want to add something. Hubby and I went for a physical for work health insurance. If we passed certain tests we get X amount off our premium each year. We both passed all 5...yay! But when they measured my waist it was higher up than I measure. I measure at the thickest part of my midsection. So my 'waist' measurement is a bit more than my natural waist.

Weight: 137.9 lbs
Waist: 35.75 in
Hips: 37.75 in
Bust: 39 in
Right Arm: 10.25 in
Left Arm: 10.5 in
Right thigh: 21 in
Left thigh: 21 in

L: 4/17/13    R: 2/17/13

And this was me 1 year ago today! hehe I was still 6 days from having E!

I didn't weigh in this week

I didn't weigh in this week because Tuesday they shut down DFW because of the ice. I was at home with the kids and hubby said that it wasn't a good idea to drive. The normal roads were fine but the bridges were iced over. I was disappointed to not be able to weigh in but I can only do what I can do.

Baby E is sick along with hubby so it's been a long week. I started off last Tuesday at 141.0 on my scale. I weighed myself Tuesday morning and it was 137.0!! Woot! I was pretty excited. It will be a good weigh in on Tuesday if I keep this up. This morning I was 136.6. I love seeing the scale go down.

I only over ate on Sunday. I was kind of upset with myself but through out the week I stayed in my extra weekly allotted points. I think I had 13 left over from the 49. I found out today that my favorite chocolates are 7 points plus for 3! Ugh! I love them. I usually eat a couple a day. So yeah, boo.

I am in a weird place with points though. I am still nursing E (and plan to keep nursing her for another year) and with her being sick she hasn't eaten that much food. She has been nursing like a newborn so I think with me having 33 points (opposed to the 40 when you are exclusively nursing) it's probably helping my weight loss. She hasn't showed any signs of not getting enough milk so I am not worried.

I am trying to decide if I will do pictures/measurement on the 17th. I haven't done it in a few months, so I probably should since I am doing WW again. I guess we'll see!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Long time, no post

I have no idea if anyone actually reads this blog or not. I'll update/post anyways. :)

I feel off the Weight Watchers bandwagon after my last post. It was right around Thanksgiving. I had been sick and I was kind of tired of doing it after 7 months. At that point I had lost 27.4lbs. Yay me.

I stopped weighing in and it then I stopped tracking...so you get it. I slowly gained back 7.4lbs over the course of Thanksgiving, Christmas and the cold weather until now...early February. Excuses but whatever. I do better when I have accountability outside of my home.

I said to the hubby this morning "I need to get back to Weight Watchers." He unhesitatingly said "Yes, you do." I did a quick head turn and said "What?". I was expecting a "We don't have the money" or him ignoring me with a yeah okay sure. I was no expecting that. He said "Not because you have gained a lot of weight back, but because you just ate healthier when you were on it.

My original goal was to be 130 by the time E turned one. Which is February 23rd. That is not going to happen, but it's my own fault. I am not mad at myself and I am not stressed over it, but I am happier with my weight than I thought I would be if I didn't meet my personal goal.

I am ready for the weather to get warm again so I can walk again. I have kept fairly active. I walked 6.5 miles a few weeks ago. I am still breastfeeding but E also eats food so I get 33 points this time instead of 40.

I am nervous and excited about starting again but I am also dreading it. I know what it takes and I know it's hard but I really don't want to gain all that weight back. I don't want to pull out my old jeans because I was lazy. That is unacceptable to me. So here my journey begins again.

STARTING WEIGHT: 141.2
5% Weight: 134.1
GOAL WEIGHT: 130

WOW

I can not believe my weigh in today! I have been doing pretty well with my 36 points. Staying within a few points less or more since Saturday. Well it paid off! ACK!

At home weight: 133
Weight Watchers Weight: 133.8
Weekly loss: -1.2
Total Loss: -27.4

When I got on the scale this morning it said 133.0. I stepped on and off 3 more times! I could not believe it. I haven't seen that in YEARS! That means I have officially lost off my pregnancy weight that I gained with C, my second! haha. Here is to another good week. Let's just hope I can make it through the holidays!

I am high...

...on endorphin's. I always forget how great walking makes me feel. I feel lighter and skinner. I come home and clean up the house. I get stuff done when I have walked. The only negative is feeling gross...like dirty and sweaty...afterwards.

I am hoping to have a good weight loss this week. I have been sticking to my points since Saturday. I feel like I am getting on track again.

Plateau

I have hit a plateau. No doubt about it. But I think part of it is that I haven't followed the points very well the last month. My emotions have been all over the place and I am an admitted emotional eater. Between soccer and all kinds of life stuff I have not been great about sticking to the points.

I did lose this week though:
Weight Watchers Weight: 135.0
Weekly Loss: -.6
Total Loss: -26.2

I am 5lbs away from my goal. I want to hit that by February. At this point I don't know if that will happen. I know that is 3 months, but I need to buckle down and follow the plan. I will say it's been hard to know if the points are right for me. Since E is still nursing 95% of the time but some days she eats more solids I don't know if the 40 is too much. I have been playing around with the points so right now I am trying 36 per day. I am hoping this helps.

I changed my weigh in day to Wednesday. I don't really like the ladies that work Wednesday mornings at the meeting I go to but I don't have a choice right now since they don't open until 11 on Tuesday. One lady chastised me for not having my monthly pass card (which I've never used ever) because I need it for when the computers are down. Okay, yes, one more thing I need to carry that I never use. Plus it's all old ladies and they are either nice or mean.

Today is my monthly picture and measuring. I did not take a picture because there was no point. I haven't lost any significant weight or inches.

11/17/2013
Weight: 136.0 (-.2)
Waist: 36 (same)
Hips: 37 (-.5)
Bust: 39 (same)
Arms: 10.25 (.-25)

What annoys me is my scale at home. I know that the weight watchers weight is most accurate because it has the same variables each week but still. According to Weight Watchers weight I was 137.6 on 10/15 and this week I was 135. So that is -2.6. Obviously that is different than my home weight loss of .2!

I did cut down on Diet Coke again. I only drink Diet Coke, Water, and the occasional Dr. Pepper or Unsweet tea. I wish there was more I could drink that had no calories.
