WW Update – Week 15
September 15th, 2009
Pounds lost in week 15 : .2 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 17.4 pounds
My dear friend Beth will love to see that I do not have to curse her name. After her beautiful (and tasty food filled) wedding this weekend, I still managed to squeak out a .2 loss this week. That means I’m still in the hole for .6 pounds after my gain 2 weeks ago, but next week is gonna be my week!!! Kicking ass and losing weight!
Tonight, I also received my 16 week pin since today is officially the start of week 16. We all had a good laugh about how I’m going to be needing a few more of those 16 week pins before I hit a weight anywhere near my goal weight.
The Fall
September 10th, 2009
I love how you see ads for diet plans or diet pills and the people are like, “I lost 12 pounds and went down 2 dress sizes.” YEAH RIGHT! I say. I’ve now lost 22 pounds total and I’ve only moved down exactly 1 size. You know how I can officially tell I’ve lost enough weight to move down a size? My underwear is too big. Because my pants and underwear have been bagging and sagging for the past few weeks, I decided to head to the Avenue today to pick up a few in between pieces of clothing while I continue my diet journeys (and because they’ve had some great email coupons this week). I picked up some nice fall long sleeve tops, 2 pairs of shoes, some new underwear and a pair of jeans – all size 16 (some even 14/16). This made me very happy today. It helps me keep the faith that someday soon I WILL get back into my size 14s and maybe even my 12s.
WW Update – Week 14
September 7th, 2009
Pounds lost in week 14 : -.8 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 17.2 pounds
Damn you Sesame Place – why must you do me in every time??? Yesterday, we spent the day at Sesame Place with the kids and despite all of the exercise I got walking around and standing in line, I apparently still ate just enough crap to gain .8 of a pound. So much for healthy food at kids’ amusement parks! Though – I am a day earlier than usual for weigh-in. I wonder if I would have weighed in on my typical Monday rather than Sunday this week, if I could have recouped that .8 of a pound. Maybe, maybe not. Here’s to hoping that next week is better than this one. I’m starting to not like the fact the my weight loss is getting in line with the number of weeks I’ve been attending WW. A few weeks ago, I was way ahead of the game.
WW Update – Week 13
September 1st, 2009
Pounds lost in week 13 : 1.2 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 18 pounds
And I’m back in the game!!! After last weeks devastating gain (yes, any time I have to move the total weight lost down, it IS devastating), I vowed to remain good this week. And while I did have a Slenderita (God Bless Rita’s and their tasty, fat free ice cream treats!) and some desserts at a picnic, I tried to make up for this by eating less at other meals and actually moving my ass a little. Today, CheezWaster, the Destroyer and I ran races in the beautiful weather. I honestly had to haul ass to keep up with CheezWaster (he likes to think he is Pietro/Quicksilver from X-men), but I didn’t at all feel out of breath. I actually felt pretty damn good afterwards. So, there is hope for me in the exercise department after all. Maybe if it stays this cool/beautiful, this will be the motivation I needed to get out and start running. That – and a decent pair of running sneakers. Foot Locker, here I come!
