Day of Reckoning

I have to weigh in tomorrow, and I've been overindulging this week.  I packed a light lunch for work:  1/2 sandwich, a cucumber, some grapes and an orange.  I hope this will kick my body into "let's get rid of some junk so Stephanie can chalk up a loss for four weeks in a row" mode.

I'll be back.............

Going...

Quick update:  Lost 4.2 for a total of 10.4 in 3 weeks.  I really don't deprive myself, but I don't eat (and drink full calorie sodas and juices) as much as I did.  I've always known that portion-control is key, but weighing in and tracking points is really helping me stay focused.

Yay!

Go away!

I lost another 2.8 pounds!  That means 6.2 in two weeks.  To be fair, I have a *LOT* of weight to lose, so right now, it's just falling off without much more effort than making better choices and tracking what I'm eating.  Just imagine how much more I'll lose when I incorporate exercise.  :)

Week #1

Even though it was Thanksgiving and I ate some candy and chips during the week, I still lost 3.4 pounds!  Yay me!!!

I notice I feel markedly better when I don't eat junk food.  Luckily, most of it is gone from the house (after our junk-food shopping spree the week before).  Now if that pumpkin roll would just go away...

I did it!

I just signed up for Weight Watchers.  We get a discount through work, so it was an easier financial decision to make that way.  Although the price is still a bit steep, I am certain that I spend that much, and more, on junk I don't need every time I go to the store in a month's time.  I'm also going to register for Door-to-Door Organics for a fresh delivery of seasonal fruits and vegetables brought to my door every week.

It's been a *very* long time since I've seriously attempted to lose weight.  I'm not sure why, but it's high time that I do this for me.  I have a great outlook on life and a pretty positive attitude; it's about time my outside matches my inside!

So, my first meeting is Friday morning, then Athena and I are going to take a stroll around Wash Park afterward.  We'll be off like a herd of turtles!!!  Stay tuned for updates after the weekly meeting.  My schedule is usually pretty whacked out, but I'll make the concerted effort to go each week.  I'd only be doing a disservice to myself if I don't.
