Weigh-In: Hiding My Face In Shame

So before work this morning, I sucked it up and went to Weight Watchers to weigh in. Let me tell you- it wasn't pretty. Drum-roll please...

I'm up 2 lbs. 

Current weight: 171.4. 

Total Weight Loss: -27 lbs

Current Mood: Irritated

Sign: Libra

You get the picture. I am frustrated with myself and my weight gain. I am supposed to be losing 2 lbs per week- not gaining it! Ahh! So back to basics. I am going to plan meals before I eat them, then record what I've eaten, and stick to my points allowances. I am going to avoid using weekly points for food. I will only use them for drinks on special occasions. Those were my rules when I started and it looks like they are going to have to be my rules again. UHG. 

So despite my frustration, I know that 2 lbs isn't the end of the world. Its just a number and another week. I just want to get back to the place where losing weight is my priority again. I've gotten kind of comfortable in my slightly pudgy, 170 lb, size 10 body. Its pretty far away from where I started around 200 and sz. 16. But the important thing for me is that its not far enough. I am training myself in life skills of weight-loss, exercise, and follow through for the long term and stopping here is not an option- if I act like that, I'll never run a marathon (which I am going to do). 

I'll post food for the rest of the day later. Just wanted to update you on the weigh in. 

All Work and No Play

Tuesday was business as usual. I felt mostly healed save for a few sore muscles and the now purple evidence of Sunday's excitement on my arms and legs. These bruises have got to go away in 2 weeks or Andy will kick me out of her wedding!


I got up pretty early and made biscuits for breakfast. I had one for 4pts. Trust me- these are not filling foods. I was hungry by 10 am!

Despite being hungry only an hour after getting to work, we had a lot of foot traffic in the morning so I managed to wait until noon for lunch. I had a ddp 0pts and a baked chili potato with cheese 8pts. I love it when I wake up early enough to make something for lunch.

We had a slow stent in the middle of the day while Dargan was talking to some brain trauma folk checking out the program. Then things picked up and I was busy busy for the rest of the day. I had planned on staying late and making some calls, but my brain was toast at the end of the day and I needed to get outta there. I wanted to talk to my family since my grandmother's funeral was in the morning and I couldn't go. 

I got to have a nice conversation with my dad about family and the funeral. He was riding around the lake in the golf cart while I was talking to him so he kept putting me on hold to talk to people who were out and about. I swear he knows everyone. It was nice to talk to the family. Grandma is in heaven- probably dancing or causing a ruckus- but we miss her for now.

To get out of the house for a bit, we went to Guad for some chips and queso. I probably had 24 chips 6pts and 1/4 cup queso and salsa 4pts.

I'll put the pic up later. My phone doesn't have service now.

I spent the rest of the night chilling with Matt and Little Bear and talking about Shelby's upcoming wedding with Ramjie. Can't wait to be in Memphis and see everyone!!! I didn't have dinner because the chips pretty much filled me up.

PS- I got my first student at LearningRx today- she's about my age so I am a little terrified....we start training Aug 3rd.
