bad good and GREAT

So the bad - I just couldnt get out of bed this morning so didnt make it to the gym before work this morning. Didnt get my weight workout in this evening either. By the time I got G to bed and settled it was almost 9pm and I hadnt eaten dinner yet so that won.

The good - my eating has been AWESOME today! I still have 3 points left for a small snack. I have stayed 100% on plan. I have carried my WW food journal thing in my back pocket and wrote down everything before it went into my mouth.

It feels so good (GREAT) to be getting back on track. I am very happy that I went back to WW. And I havent weighed myself today... Im going to give Rach my scale next time I see her so that Im not tempted. Im going to be a good girl and wait to be surprised during my meeting.

big step

SO today I took the big step. I realized that I need some more help. I need more structure. I need more support. Having been on a self caused plataeu for the past 8 weeks or so and going into the holiday schedule... IM SCARED. Scared enough that I am sucking up the $40/month and my limited time and headed back to WW today.

I was initially going to just go to open weigh in and fill out the paperwork, weigh in and leave. But nope, last minute decided I should start it right and went to a 930am meeting. I didnt really learn anything new but it was a great vibe by a great WW person.

Last time (well the last 5 times probually) that I went back to WW - I didnt really follow things. I didnt read the books they gave us, didnt take notes, barely stayed for meetings, didnt try to meet and mingle with the other members. Well I decided if Im going back - then Im going back. 100% and will be putting my all into it.

Got my workout in today - wasnt really feeling it but did it.

Im aiming for 545am spin class before work tomarrow - take 2 this week, monday didnt happen. Its going to be a LONG day. 45 min spin class in the am, shower and dress at the gym, work 12 hours, pick up my little man and get him into bed, then weight training. Wish me luck! Boy do I wish I didnt have to work... I love my job, dont get me wrong but my life would flow so much better without having to get my shifts in!

Hope everyone is having a good week!

back to weight watchers...

So technically I have been "following" the weight watcher plan. I know my point values. I know how to calculate them and I know how many I should get. But I didnt go to meetings or pay or anything.

Yea its not working for me. With only losing 1 lb in Oct total - I have been thinking about going back to meetings for a few weeks. Ithink today will be the day. I really dont have the spare money to spend on meetings or another bill but Ithink I need the group atmosphere. I need the accountability. Something.

I need to change something because Im starting a routine with losing, gaining, losing gaining the same 3-4 lbs, eatting horribly and ignoring my points values and feeling really bad about myself.

Knowing we are going into the holidays - I need help.

So today I will be going back to the WW place - tell them I failed on my own AGAIN (I have been there over and over) and hopefully its what I need.
