Weigh-in Day

I have had a pretty good week. I didn't quite stick with logging everything on my Calorie Count page, but I still tried to watch what I was eating. I didn't do any exercise this week either and knowing me I won't until I start back with the Y Not Shrink It class at the YMCA the first week of October. Anyway, I am down a pound this week!! Funny how at Weight Watchers that would have seemed huge, but at home it's like, OK a pound, hmm. Anyway, it's a start!!

Today's weight: 174.5

So far so good

Being back on track is going OK. I am hungry. Which is kinda weird because part of my problem when I am being "bad" is that I don't eat enough, don't eat proper meals. Sometimes I don't eat at all until late in the afternoon (bad bad bad, I know). So it's interesting to me that on those days I can go without eating, but as soon as I have eaten something for breakfast, then I am starving all day. I am sure smart food people know why, probably something about metabolism or protein or something.

Anyway, I have been eating pretty well yesterday and today, staying around my calorie goal. Haven't exercised yet though.

Weigh-in Day

Dreams do come true!!! And apparently, so do nightmares.

I weighed in today and wouldn't you know it? I am up 12 pounds, just like in my "dream". Ugh. Now to be fair to myself, I am weighing in now on my home scale and not at Weight Watchers, so I don't really know how accurate it is and whether I *really* gained 12 pounds. But this is the scale I will be weighing in on, so it is what it is. And it said:

Today's weight: 175.5

Here I go again. Again.

Wow, what a summer it has been!! And I don't just mean how fast it went by, or how crappy the weather was (most of the time). I don't even mean all the good times we had as a family, and we had a fun summer!!

Nono, of course, I mean all the food I ate.

Yeppers, that's me - squashed under the wagon, again.

The last time I weighed in at Weight Watchers was July 18th. I *think* I was around 163. Still struggling around the 25 pound loss mark. Knowing I had a busy summer ahead of me and I would be away alot, I decided not to renew my membership until after the summer was over. Of course, in my mind that began to mean FREEDOM to eat whatever I wanted. It truly is a sickness eh? I swear I'd think "what should I eat/drink before I start again, get back on the wagon again, back on track again?". The answer was chips, chocolate, french fries, wine, coolers, desserts... Sick.

But, the kids went back to school today and on Thursday I will begin again. Again.

And I have decided to go it on my own. Eeeek. The last 6 months with Weigh Watchers wasn't working very well for me. I hit my 25 pounds lost in November 2008 and by June of 2009 I was still hovering around the same mark. That is not right and it's very frustrating. So I am going to see if I can do this on my own. I know I can!! I will track at Calorie Count and be better about my blog posts as a way to keep accountable. I will weigh in on Thursday and hope that a dream I had doesn't come true. A few weeks ago I dreamt I gained 12 pounds. Please no.

So wish me luck. Again.
