Bowling with WW Friends

Our Friday morning Weight Watchers group decided to get together and go bowling.  We had so much fun.  It was funny that we got together to go DO something, not just go out to eat dinner.  You can plan an activity that does not revolve around food.

Who would have thought back  in December when I was so scared to walk into that meeting that I would find such sweet friends that are a great encouragement to me.

New Clothes

I have REALLY struggled the past few weeks, up - down - maintain. At todays WI, I was up - AGAIN!!!! Ughh! I decided that instead of getting down on myself, that I would look at how far I have come and i WILL finish this journey. I decided to take the birthday money daddy gave me and pick up some clothes and scrubs that actually fit. I was pleasantly surprised at the size :O) It seems funny to reward myself on a week that I had a gain, but really what I am trying to do is get my head back in the game. I am not a failure because I have struggled the past few weeks. I am totally worth it. I have rocked it for almost 9 months and it is time to push myself back where I know I need to be. This is me in December 2015 and then today. Down 60 pounds.

Gotta get back on track

Missed my weigh in today, I was feeling poorly, but plan to go weigh in tomorrow morning.  I have had a tough week staying on program with us going out of town last weekend and hosting 2 retirement receptions at work, then this weekend is my grandson's birthday and then my birthday dinner as well.  I have gotten my "carbohydrate addict" self into high gear.  Isn't it funny, after not having really very much sweet, or very rich for so long, how quickly those cravings come right on back once we indulge????  I tried to track every day this past week, even when I went over my allotted points, but when I went over my weekly's, I just quit tracking.  I have got to get it together!!!!  I have come too far.

For my birthday, we are having family and friends meet at an Italian restaurant for dinner, not exactly where I would choose, point wise for a weight watcher, but our daughter is a waitress there and wants the tip money from the family...ha!!!  So I will have a grilled chicken salad, and skip the rolls.  My husband ordered cupcakes so at least they are portion controlled.  They are my favorite.  I know they are 23 points and that is OK.  I will savor every morsel. Hey, I only turn 50 once.

Here's hoping that I fare well this week and after the birthday festivities that things will get back to normal.

NSV at my daughter's school registration

Went with my daughter to register her for school. I had to, once again, sit in the dreaded school desk. Guess what I fit and there was room to spare. Yea!!!!! Plus I was able to walk up and down the stairs and up and down all of those halls while she found her classes, AND I was not embarrassed by how I looked, so hopefully, she was not embarrassed either.
