i did something right

-
I personally find it funny that after 16 weeks on weight watchers I still don't fell like I have had a good week. Even today I went in and just didn't feel great about the week. I even took my socks off at the meeting to weigh, and then I took my shirt off too, no worries I was wearing a sports bra. It ended up being okay, I lost 2.2 lbs. And I am thrilled with 2.2, that a full kilogram, yes I would love to have more in a week, but a loss is a loss. I just wish for once that I would go in to weigh in and at least feel good about it.
So I must have done something right this week. Maybe it was the 43 activity points I earned with all the cleaning over the weekend. Cause I will admit, it wasn't cause I stayed perfectly on plan with the food. I diffenately have some oom to improve there. But I got some soup mix I am gonna make up and portion it out into indivual servings instead of having it all in one big bowl.


To all my Biggest Loser friends out there, I am watching week 4 as I write this. Curtis Stone was on at the beggining of the episode to show them how to make these 100 calorie cupcakes (which by the way looked amazing, anyone wanna come over and try them with me), and he said something that I heard on tuesday, heard again tonight and is still ringing through me head. "Surrond yourself with Positive Temptation". Positive temptation, who ever uses those two words together? But it actually make sense. We all know that the more you say 'no, not at all" the more you want until eventually you cave. But if you allow yourself something you know is "safe" something that can be good for you and still be an indulgence.

okay off to go boil some water to make soup.

Welcome Back and Hip Surgery updates.

It's been a "little" while. As in a long while. And while so much happened in nearly 4 years since my last post, I will save all that catching up for another day. One of the biggest things though is that I had hip surgery earlier this year. I've gone through a lot and I have learned a lot too. In the coming weeks I will be sharing more details about the diagnosis and surgery itself, as well as some tips and tricks I learned surviving the time at home while living alone. For now, however, I just wanted to say "Hi, I'm Back, I've missed this",  and share my week-by-week updates from weeks 1 through 10.  January 20 :  I am HOME! It was a super early morning full of anxiety and nerves. Things rolled super smoothly once there. Pre-Op nurse got the IV started. Surgeon in and reviewed the planned surgery and left his initials on my hip. Anesthesia came in and cleared my airway and went over her part. OR Nurse walked me back to the OR, got me all settled on ...

5% and Goals

-
I am sitting here feeling the urge to blog but not really having any idea what I wanted to blog about. So I came up with 2 things and now I am gonna share them with you. So when you join weight watchers they have all these goals for you. First 5%, 20%, 16 weeks, 25 pound medallions. And your ultimate goal weight. It took me a while to get to those 5 and 10%. and I still haven't quite gotten to my 25 pound marker. But I know that I need to keep my goals small. So I am just going from 5% to 5%. Of couse each time that becomes a differant number, but that is my goal. You also are supposed to set an ultimate weight loss goal sometime with them, I haven't yet. And I am okay with that really. Because I ahve a goal but I don't. I have a number that is right in the range of all the charts and graphs and guidelines. But I don't want to focus on that number, not yet, adn maybe not all. To don't wanna get so focused on it that I lose sight of the bigger picture, my health. And...

Doors and Bootcamp

-
For starters, Where have I been? Obviously not blogging that is for sure. I would try to catch you all up, but it has been way to long. So I will just tell you a couple stories from the past couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, yours truly managed to walk right into a door as it was being opened into the hallway. Caught my arm on it (thankfully not my face/head), shook me so hard I had a headache almost immediately. Dealt with the headache for several days (including a trip to the docs for a shot of pain meds), and then the neck pain started. I've had my neck adjusted twice so far by a chiropractor and I might me doing that for a while. Yes it has been an adventure. I started boot-camp at the gym again. It is so much different than a year ago. For starters there are only 3 of us in the class this time. Myself, my friend Jessica and a gal named Stacy. They were both in the class I did last year.  I haven't felt like it was gonna kill me, yet. I did have a little episode of feelin...
