Weigh In Day

I am only going to Weight Watcher's once a month now and today was my weigh in day for October. I lost 6 pounds and am down a total of 25 pounds. Only 15 more to go to goal. My pants are getting looser and looser.

Weigh In Day

Whoo-hoo! I have lost 20 pounds and am half way to my goal weight. It has taken me 12 weeks to get here and if I continue the average of 1.6 pounds per week I will be at my goal before Christmas. Yeah!

Weigh In Day

Woo Hoo! I have officially lost another 3.4 pounds for a total of 17.8. Yeah me!

I went through all my pants last night and had to get rid of about 3/4 of them since they are now too big. It is certainly a better feeling to put pants on that are too big than ones that are too small. I fortunately found a box of smaller clothes and there were some smaller size pants in that box.

Weigh In Day

Well, today is Monday and weigh in day but it is also Labor Day and that means no Weight Watchers. So, I got a digital scale from the store last week and it is easier for me to get a more accurate reading on the scale with the digital. So, unofficially I have lost another 2.5 pounds this week. Must be all the climbing up and down the stairs.

Weigh In Day and Reconnecting

Well, today was weigh in day and I am a much happier camper today than the past two weeks. I lost 1.4 pound for a total of 14! Yeah!

After weigh in I got to spend a great hour and a half with my buddy Susan. We haven't seen each other in ages so we had lots to catch up on. We have some crazy memories! And we have promised each other we will get together more often.
Then to make a great day even better I got to spend the afternoon with Brandon and Bailey. I had Brandon take some pictures but they all turned out blurry. I gave Boo Bear a bath, she sat on the potty, we had a snack, read a book, played with the toys and watched some tv. A fun afternoon.

Weigh In Day and New Recipes

Yesterday was weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I lost .2 pounds. Not as much as I had hoped for but at least it's a loss. With my Mom being here we have eaten out more and I even had McDonald's once this week. So, I am back on track, walking a couple of times a week and ready to see the scale move down next Monday.

Last night I was wanting to fix Snook for dinner. I found a recipe on line at Weight Watchers called Cajun fish. Basically you coat the fish with flour and cajun spice mixed together and fry it in a bit of olive oil. It was fabulous! I also boiled cubed potatoes, drained them, and then poured low fat Italian dressing on them. Yum! And I baked some acorn squash with a bit of butter and brown sugar. The meal was awesome. Brent ate three pieces of the fish so I call this recipe a huge hit!

After dinner my Mom and I went to Vineyards Park and walked around the lake four times. It takes about 45 minutes to walk around it four times. I am hoping to walk again tonight if my class gets out in time.

Weigh In Day

Well, today was weigh in and I am not happy. I did great all week and gained .4 pounds. Hopefully it will be gone next week!

Weigh In Day

Today was weigh in day at Weight Watchers. Lost another 2.2 pounds for a total of 13.2. Yeah!

A Little Something to Brag About

So, I started going to Weight Watchers to start eating healthier and get my BP and cholesterol into the normal range. The added benefit is I am loosing weight. Earlier this week I had to put a belt on from the store to keep my jeans up and today when I went to get dressed, I tried on two pair of jeans that were too big. Now that is a huge change, usually I take off clothes because they are too small. I found another pair of jeans at the store that are a size smaller than the jeans in my closet and they fit. I was very excited about the noticiable change. Helps to keep me motivated to make healthy food choices too!

Weigh In Day

Yesterday was weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I lost another 2.4 pounds for a total of 11. Yahoo! My pants are looser, I can wear rings I haven't been able to wear in years and I am psyched about being healthy and loosing weight. I have lost over 25% of the weight I want to loose. Yeah me!

Weigh In Day and A Gift

Today was weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I lost another 3.2 pounds, down 8.6 total. I am happy about that!

Yesterday I did some work on Photoshop on some pictures of Bailey with various family members, sent them to Walgreen's and put them in this cool Who Loves Baby? album. It brought tears to my eyes to work on this project but I am hoping Bailey will love it. I am putting together a box to send her for her birthday on Friday.

Yeah!

Well, yesterday was the big day. I went back to the doctor's after being on five different medications for a month to see how they were helping my high blood pressure and my cholesterol. Good news all around! I have lost 5.4 pounds, my blood pressure went from 154/101 to 111/69 and my total cholesterol went from 440 to 160. Now the only thing I need to work on is my blood sugar which is 104 and needs to be down below 99. Less sugar, more activity. Ugh! The doctor also modified my meds and there is only one that I will be taking twice a day instead of three. Here's to good health and long life.

Weight Watchers Week 2

Today was weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I lost four pounds. I am excited about the loss but will even be more interested in seeing if my cholesterol has come down any in two weeks when I go back to the doctors.

Curves Update

I have been going to Curves for a month now. I knew I hadn't lost any weight. It has been a stressful month and I have been eating too much! So in a month of working out I worked out 20 days, gained 1.25 pounds, lost a total of 2.5 inches and my body fat % went down .5. The day before I started Curves I took my blood pressure and it was 159/98. Today it was 117/101. The systolic is much improved, the diastolic has a ways to go. But, all in all I think the program is worth it.

Today I am starting to take the weight loss pills from Arbonne. I will take one about a 1/2 hour before dinner and we'll see if they help.
