Weigh In....

I had a great meeting today! I'm down 26.5 lbs! I got my 10% goal key chain and my 25lb chip today. It felt great. I also have some interesting stuff to put out there that I learned in my meeting today! It will be in the next post!

When you get your awards at the meetings they always ask what your tips are. I guess mine is being present all the time. It's so easy after a long day of work to come home and just eat whatever is there. I have found that since I started W2 I am more likely to plan out what I eat, and make dates for eating my favorite high-point foods. I also make time to eat during the day. There were times in the past where I wouldn't eat for some reason and then get home and house three servings of diner. I've stopped that. I'm planning dinner, lunch, etc. I'm making the effort.

I also think that my time at the gym has been really helping. There are always days where you don't feel like going. I go early in the morning and sometimes its hard to get up and get moving. I'm tired, I'm cold and I just don't want to wake up and go. I do it, I make myself. Sure there are some days that I don't do it, that I wait and go after work. BUT I DO IT.

I'm lucky. I don't have kids that need to be picked up from school and then dropped off at dance lessons. I have a dog. I have a supportive partner. I'm busy to, but I can make the time. If it wasn't for Joe taking care of the dog every morning I probably wouldn't be able to make it to the gym. But he does and I can.

Anyway, go me! I did really well this week. Now I have a friend who didn't lose anything this week. She didn't gain and she didn't lose. She was bummed. It happens, if it hasn't it will. She has lost so much weight and hasn't even been exercising. So stay the course and realize that even if you gained that tomorrow begins now!
