10 Months

First of all, how did 10 months go by so quickly. It has been almost a month since I last left a Weigh Down report, also. I am excited to report that 62 pounds are gone...13 pounds to go to reach that 75 pound mark!! It has been such a successful journey getting here. But, I want a year from now to be able to report that it is STILL OFF!

I am gearing myself up to face the next few months which include HOLIDAYS!!! Food is such the center of all of the holiday festivities. I am going to plan some WW menus and finger foods that can satisfy my "need" to celebrate! Also, I am going to stay busy serving others instead of myself!

I have also been hearing alot about Couch to 5K I am reading up about it (that doesn't burn many calories) but I am hoping to convince myself to start this plan. I know in my heart that it would help me finish "the race" with WW's as well. Now...if I can convince my head!!!

Best Eat of the Week! With fall in the air and October here...I have fond childhood memories of hotdogs and Rice Krispie Treats! That was on the menu this past week-end!

One Advantage to School Starting

Although I love summer...it tends to be my busiest time at work and I travel quite a bit!!! WELL...school has started and I MADE IT!!!! I am grateful that I was able to have a hiccup in meeting attendance, yet still continue on my Path!!

I don't have any tips today...but I will share my goal for the week. I haven't tracked my points lately writing it down...so my goal??? WRITE IT DOWN! If anyone is reading and wants a suggestion on how to start...how to restart...or how to take it up a notch...WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU EAT this week and determine your points!

Thank you for walking along with me on this journey. Thanks WW for having a program that will motivate, guide, and cheer one on to their goal weight.

Still on it

I will be so glad when my schedule gets back to normal. BUT...I have learned something! I can go out of town, visit Washington, DC...work at different centers...eat out...and STILL LOSE WEIGHT!!!!

I'm not sure what week I am on. My WW journal is in my car. Will document correct week ASAP. Monday...July 20th I weighed in...LOST 3 POUNDS (now I have been absent two weeks!)

TOTAL LOSS: 55 POUNDS! WHOOO HOOOO!
