October 28, 2010

I met my goal soon after February...but now it is now October and am sad to say...I HAVE GAINED 15 pounds! Here are the top 10 reasons why I have gained weight.

1. I stopped writing down my points.
2. Going to weigh in became unimportant.
3. Choosing wrong foods at meals.
4. Eating high calorie snacks.
5. Eating out almost every meal.
6. Telling myself I'll start on Monday.
7. Sugar...sugar...sugar.
8. Not planning my meals.
9. I thought I could eat what I wanted.
10. And the number 10....I stopped being smart!

S0...here it is! I am going to:

1. Write down my points.
2. Stop with the Sugar.
3. Plan...Plan...Plan
4. Go back to Weight Watchers to weigh in.
5. Be smart...and healthy!

Weight Watcher Weigh In

I went to my Weight Watcher meeting today...another pound GONE!!! I am ONE POUND FROM GOAL!!! I am so excited! It has been such a wonderful year! Success is a wonderful thing. Now...I have to work to keep it off. To continue eating healthy and not let my mind fool me into believing I can eat whatever and how much of it I want!! ;-)

Find of the Week! Went to visit my sister in law and brother this past week-end. They served me "flat tire" buns. WOW are they good. Take a look! One bun is ONE POINT! they are delicious!

ONE YEAR LATER

Last January 5th I made the life changing decision to join Weight Watchers. Well...a year later (as of yesterday) I am 70 pounds lighter!!! WOW!!! Just to say, "I have lost 70 pounds." seems like a dream.

The Top Ten Things I Recognize Now That I AM 70 Pounds Lighter:

10. Clothes are easier to find.
9. My shoes are too big. (who knew your feet would lose weight)
8. I don't mind that I have more wrinkles (since they aren't stretched out)
7. I don't snore (as bad! ;-0)
6. An apple tastes like a piece of candy.
5. It is a bit uncomfortable to sit in the bathtub...not as much padding!
4. I enjoy walking.
3. Charles is so proud of (and for) me.
2. I can pass up junk food I used to LIVE for.
1. AND THE NUMBER ONE...I don't want to go back!

At yesterday's weight watchers meeting, a recipe was shared. I haven't fixed it yet...but I plan to this week-end.
