Monday Weigh-In Report

Well, I just realized something that I have been forgetting.......The "Monday Weigh-In Report." Well, to tell you the truth it really has not been much to write home about. I have shared with you all that I have been STRUGGLING BIG TIME with my weight, my bad habits, and my food addiction. When I was sick a couple of weeks ago I "fell off the wagon" BIG TIME! I still don't know how much I gained as I didn't EVEN bother to look at the scale. I was pretty scared. I did weigh-in, but I just didn't look at the numbers and still haven't. :( I do know, however, that I ended up losing 7 pounds when I went and weighed in this past Sunday. YAY for me! I was quite pleased with that! Though, I'm sure it did not make up for the big gain I had the week before.

I have, again, been trying really hard this week and feel pretty good about it..... so far. I have reached out to a couple of fellow Weight Watchers, one of them who has gone through what I am going through. She too lost over 100 pounds and had the struggle that I am struggling with, and has got herself back on track after a couple of years. So, that has been very relieving. It has been a BIG weight lifted off of my shoulders to be able to talk to people that have been through what I am going through.

I am really excited because I ordered that Activity Watch a few weeks ago and I got in the mail this past week and I am going to put it to good use tomorrow. I plan on attending my very first Zumba class. :) I am a bit nervous, but very excited too. I can just see myself going all over the place. It is going to be something else. I am breaking the girdle out for this one.

Anyway, just wanted to fill you in on where I am at in this process, in case you were interested.

So, here's to having continued success........

Good luck and I hope you have AWESOME luck staying on plan!

The Life

Apparently, this is what you can look like after you go on a food binge.....

I shared with you the other day that it was Blakey's birthday. Well, that was the day that it snowed really really hard and it was CrAzY driving conditions outside. One of the things Blakey wanted to do for his birthday was go to Ben's Yogurt. My kids love his frozen yogurt. They just think it is the BEST. And, that is a plus for us because it is well within our Weight Watcher points budget. So, my husband got home really late that day and brought pizza home for the kiddos as, again, that is what Blakey wanted for dinner. He actually said that he wanted pizza for lunch and cake for dinner. :) Anyway, I made myself a couple of porkchops (more WW friendly) and my husband had some Garden Burgers. Anyway, we ate dinner, pretty quickly actually, so we could get out the door to Ben's before it started getting REALLY slick outside. It is habit to cleanup after dinner on an everyday basis, but today was different......We were in a hurry to get out and get back quickly. So, we decided to just leave the dinner dishes and the rest of the pizza on the table and leave. We would be back in less than an hour and we would clean up then.

Well, we left to Ben's. We get there and enjoy our frozen yogurt. (He had cake batter flavor....YUM) The kids get all of theirs and we stay there and eat it. Okay, well, now we are on our way home.....Things are good. Blakey is happy and the other kiddos are happy. We are all happy. We decide to come in the house through the back door. We did not want to drag a whole bunch of snow in the front door and the back door leads into the kitchen, so that is better for us. Well......the kids walk in, my husband walks in, and before I could walk in all I hear from each kid is "OH MY GOODNESS! SAAAADIE! OH MY GOSH! SAADIE!!"  Well by now I'm thinking she did something wrong because tore off like a bat out of hell downstairs. She ONLY does that when she has done something wrong. I come around the corner and it look like a tornado hit our dining room. The pizza box was on the floor, pizza was scattered from one end of the room to the other. I had left my open Snapple on the table that was now down on my chair and dumped over. The bone from the porkchop was now on the floor and licked clean. Well, amongst examining everything she got that little 20-pound butt up onto my dining room table and had a feast! She ate the topping off of four pieces of pizza, had a whole tomato, ate the rest of my porkchop, and whatever else my husband left on his plate!

She did get herself in big big doggie doodoo AND she got herself REALLY REALLY sick. Needless to say....without being too graphic.....she had one heck of an upset tummy, AND now she does not get to run free while we are gone, which she does not like too well.

On a side note, I can't help but think of how funny that must have looked to see her on top of my table just scarfin' down. :)

Just thought I would share.....

Thanks!
