I was really hoping...

I was really hoping to have lost my first 10% by now. But alas. septemeber was not a good month at all, and i felt i was getting back on track. Until monday when I twisted my ankle and couldn't even stand on it, much less actually go to the gym and work out. So i really wasn't expecting much at weigh in this week, but thankfully I weighed exactly the same as last week. At least it wasn't a gain. And now that the ankle is feeling better, a gym going i will be tomorrow.

And I got a BRAVO sticker at the meeting! I love getting bravos. It was for having to buy produce 2 in a week. It wasn't cause the stuff went bad (like it normally does in my house) but because I actually at it all and wanted more. I am pretty sure green peppers are my new favorite raw vegetable, over celery and over carrots, I love green bell peppers.

And when you are fat and lose weight slowly you hit the 16 week milestone before you making it to 10% milestone. WW likes to celebrate certain milestones. 10% weight loss you get a key chain, 16 weeks "stay and succeed" you get a charm that goes on the previously mentioned key chain. But since i just passed 16 weeks and still have only lost 5%, i have a charm with no key chain. I am seeing a necklace in my future. Which may be better, cause then I have ti right there on my to remind me of how far I have come.

    Oh Sandy, you will so get there. It just will take a little more time. (It's a journey, it's a marathon not a sprint, blah, blah, blah)

    Now that you have me to keep you motivated (and you to keep me motivated)you'll get there soon! Hopefully, we'll celebrate our 10% together! By the way, Bernie came back this week, yay!

    PS - How'd you sprain your ankle?

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

victory?

It's the little victories right? You know the ones where you get to the gym and realize everything is in your gym bag except your...sports bar. And yet you decide to put in a 20 minute workout anyway. Yes it's true I could have just gone home and changed there and gone back, but I was so tired that if i had done that i wouldn't have gone back at all. So I stayed and worked out in my normal bra, choose to get on the recumbant bike so I wasn't bouncing around. But yay me I had packed a gym bag the night before and actually remembered to have it in the car!!! So tomorrow would be my normal weigh in at weight watchers day. But since this week I am working day shift on thursday I have the opprotunity to go to the thursday meeting with Jenn! I like going to meeting with friends. It makes it way more enjoyable. I am so honored that I was the catalyst to get Jenn to join but at the same time she continues to push and motivate me. As does the Biggest Loser weigh in I am watching

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
