Weekly Update From 1/21-1/29

This week has been a very busy one for me. Simply because Friday, I worked all day (11 + hours) as it was my last day before I had to fly to San Francisco for a business trip that started on Saturday. Saturday morning, I watched what I ate, and was tracking everything I ate, good or bad. By Monday I had stop tracking as the menu are preset at these conferences that I had to attend. The food was becoming very hard to judge, and know what things were cooked in.

With that said, I tracked what I ate when I got home on Thursday and Friday. I knew that I had gained some weight and was hoping that I didn't gain like 3 to 4 pounds. After today's weigh in I had gained 2.8 lbs bringing me back to 372.4. I can't be surprised as the food I ate, all the alcohol that I consumed during my visit in California that I would have gained 2.8lbs.

I know next week that I will have no problem loosing this weight, as I'm back on plan.

I hope you all had a great week for weight loss.

See you within the week.

New Year and a New ME!

Well here it is another year and it is still me in this body that I hate so much. I can't stand to be in this body, but yet I don't stick to the WW plan. Seriously what is wrong with me! Why can't I do this? Why is it that I can wake up every morning and wash, dress, and go to work, but I can't keep on WW.

Well this year no matter how bad it goes or how well it goes, my goal is to be on plan through out the year. This is a lifestyle not some get skinny scheme. I need to stay on target, and if I have a bad week, okay. Get on it next week and keep going. Don't just give up and go away from the program.

I know I do much better on WW when I write on my blog, but I always find a reason not to have time to write on this. But the real reason I find that I don't write on here as much as I should is seriously very simple. Are you ready for the answer.......well it is that I have to hold myself accountable for my actions. Who wants to be accountable for not be on plan. I know I don't.

That is why I'm making a dedication this year to write on here, at least once a week. This way I can update you all on weight loss, and how the journey is going.

So far I joined weight watchers for the third time on January 8th, 2011. In my first week I lost 11 lbs.

Then I have to travel for business this weekend to San Fransico for the part of the week. This forced me to go to an earlier meeting this week, so that I could do my weigh in, and hold myself accountable for the week. This week I lost 1.6 lbs. This means in less than 2 weeks I've lost 12.6 lbs, which is a great start!

I hope all of you are on target, and working towards you life goals.

Cheers to a healthy living!

November 30, 2010

This morning woke up a bit tired. Not sure exactly why as I thought I slept pretty well. Except when I woke up to the cat playing with our full length mirror. Other than that I slept fine.

Moving on....for breakfast I did really well as I had an apple, yogurt, and a water.

Then I had to go to a unexpected luncheon. I ended up eating a salad with Balsamic Vinegar and a Chicken Pesto Sandwhich. Cheese and Ciabatta bread were the real killer here.

Italian Sausage, Suddenly Salad, Tomatoe & Cucumber with FF Dressing. 9 oz Italian Sausage (2 links) were 22 points, holy moly Batman! Couldn't believe it.

Anyway I finished 1 Point Plus Value over my daily total today. Yesterday I was almost 20 under so I guess I'm not doing to bad.

Other than that I had a great day, so tiredness during the middle of the day.

Hope you have a great evening.

Off to a healthier tomorrow!

Back at it again

Yes last Thursday on November 18, 2010 I decided to get back on the wagon. I decided that at my highest weight ever of 385 lbs that it is time to do something, once and for all. Time to stick with it for the long haul, no matter what. I can't keep affording to go on it and then four months later just fall off. I have to stay focused and keep going in the right direction.

I have see the Dr. and got my sleep apnea machine which was something that was affecting my level of energy, which meant after work, I had nothing I wanted to do after that. With that said, I'm back on track.

After my first week I lost 9 lbs. Not bad, but I'm hoping that week 2 I can continue with a weight loss, even it that means, it isn't as much. Thursday is my weigh in.

Biggest challenge is that I love all food, and I like to eat food. It is an emotional thing, along with a thing of enjoyment. The other day I heard someone say at a shopping establishment. If someone had a chance to purchase a craft or a big slice of cake, a lot of people choose the cake, because of instant satisfaction! Sad but absolutely true in my life. I love to eat and get immediate satisfaction. How do I know this.....well I had an option to buy a craft, and chose to purchase a freshly baked slice of carrot cake loaded with cream cheese frosting, and boy was it GOOD!

Who has been on Weight Watchers website today? What is with the new Point Plus program? Boy I went from having 44 points to 71 points. Before you envy me, do you know how hard it is to eat 71 points. I'm a bit leary of the 71 points, so I don't know if I will be eating 71 points until I see how it effects my weight loss.

What are your feelings about the new program? Leave a comment and let me know.

Well today in brief this is what I had:

Breakfast

Fresh Strawberry Sugar Free Pudding Smoothie

Lunch

Ham & WW FF Cheese Sandwhich
Tomatoe & Cucumber Salad
HC Chicken & Rice Soup

Dinner

Turkey Noodle Casserole

Anytime

Toasted 100 Calorie Bagel
Apple
Cottage Cheese Double


Anyway this was my day. I hope you had a GREAT one!

June 1 2010

Well I lost 10lbs in my first week. Today was a decent day, and I did very well with keeping within my points. I had to work late tonight at work so I had my fiance stop and get me a subway sub so I could stay within my points. Overall today was a successful day.

Hope yours was too!

May 31, 2010

Well as many of you know I have been away for about oh 8 months, and since then I have gained about 52.2 lbs. With that being said I joined The Biggest Loser Club, and to be honest.....not the biggest fan of the website. Will most likely go back to Weight Watchers. I'm still counting points. I think the key to my success is the weighing and counting. This way it keeps me accountable for what I eat.

I started back at 37olbs and after one week I lost 10lbs so I'm back on track, and doing well during this Memorial Weekend!

Let's just eat healthy!

Headed to the gym

Well I decided today I would go to the gym. I haven't been there since I had trouble there and almost fainted. Scary moment to say the least. But today is a new day and I'm off to the gym.  Enjoy your day

September 14 2009

I had a pretty decent day! I ate within my points even though Patrick Swayze died.

I ate some leftovers and worked on office work so I was up late, but I was able to stop eating after I made dinner and had a snack!

Just wanted everyone to know I had a good day!

September 12 2009

Good morning everyone,

I'm going to reflect on yesterday. Really didn't do much, except I did some necessary laundry, which I will need to finish later today.

I made breakfast out of some meals I made last week, that need to be eaten up.

Then for lunch I had some ww meatloaf I made.

For dinner, I really wanted pizza, so I got one. I had some slices last night, and only went over into my WPA's for 4 of them. I ate 2 slices this morning, because I love cold pizza. I'm throwing the rest away, as to be honest I have never done that before. NSV

I watched football yesterday and Notre Dame got beat by Michigan last minute to lose. Anyways today is a new day, and we will see how it goes. I'm already 12 points down for the day!

Well I hope you all have a GREAT one!

Let's eat and be healthy!
