My Weight Loss Journey....

Well, as you can see, it's been almost a month exactly since my last
update. A failure at this again for sure!! The stress and
the mild depression that have set in since the move have
all but taken over.
 
I come home, and all I want to do is sleep,or sit here at
the PC and doodle in PSP. Not very active for a person
who knows they need to get their butt into gear and do
SOMETHING , ANYTHING about the situation she's in.
And nobody can do this but me. And 'll be damned if
I will ever see a "2" on the scale again. I'll starve
to death first!!!!
 
In the last month, I've gained 8lbs, and I have no one
to blame but myself!.. So why did I even waste
the time and money I put into losing it in the
first place???
 
Today a package arrived, the 6 Week Body Makeover
program. 6 weeks - it's not a long time for crying
out loud!.. I'm excited about it and will begin
the plan tomorrow. I plan to take advantage of
all the tools that come with the program.
 
We'll see.....

I got an unexpected surprise today - down 3 lbs.. woohoo!!.. first loss I've seen in months!
Although I've been maintaining all this time, maybe things have finally broken through
the plateau after all this time. Quite a shock considering my Saturday night out
with "the girls"! Had a wonderful weekend. I've made a wonderful friend in Angel
from Desktop Designs, and she happens to live right up the road from me, which is
totally cool!! She invited me out to dinner with her and some of her online friends,
and it was a great time!.. Just girls, sitting around, yakking, laughing and having
a good time. It felt so great to get out and meet new people after being here these
last few months basically being a veggie.
 
We did bring the bikes up with us on this last trip from California. We took a drive
around the area where the new house will be. Little did we know we are just blocks
away from a beautiful river with a great bike trail. If the weather holds up through
the weekend we are hoping to go try it out!
 
Got accepted by CFLW today and am really excited about the challenges and
the support and new friends!!

Well, as you can tell by the date of my last posting.. the only one, that I am not exactly doing
what I set out to do. Went back to CA for 2 weeks to pack up and get as much as we
could moved up here to get the house on the market. The stress of selling one house, closing on
another and grasping with finally saying goodbye, for good, to the dearest friend I'll ever
have, has only compounded things for me. I'm such an emotional person... and I am one who tends to look to food for comfort.. I know this. Luckily I've maintained all this time - but it's not
what I had in mind exactly. I'd much prefer to see a loss. Wouldn't we all!!
 
Applied to join another weight loss support group online today. One that offers
challenges and other fun things to get you motivated. Maybe that's what I need -
on top of knowing that I need to get my body moving again. Haven't joined
a Curves or anything yet since the move. I want to wait and get into a place
closer to the new house. It's going to be tough going without a buddy. I know
myself well enough that that is going to be a challenge for me in and of itself.
 
I've been looking at home exercise equipment, thinking that I would be more apt
to work out at home, alone, if I had something here. Target has something I want -
hubby said no - nowhere to put it with all this stuff in here right now. It's not
even terribly expensive, maybe next payday I'll just get it anyway!!..lol
It was a beautiful day yesterday - I asked to go for a bike ride, just a little one.
Hubby said no - he had 10 hours of work ahead of him. It's not like I wanted to ride around
the world - just a couple of blocks - just to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
Not that he's not supportive - we've both done the weight loss thing,
I just don't think he understands how much I know I need to do something,
ANYTHING that I think will get me motivated... then again, he knows me too.

After losing 33 pounds over the course of the last year and then putting back on
8lbs since my move to Washington, I've decided it's time to get back on track!
Around here we always say "Tomorrow We'll Go Back On Plan" .. but tomorrow
never seems to come. Being in a new area, not really knowing anyone, our hobby
has become finding the next "favorite" place to eat. And with so many restaurants
that our new to us, it's hard to say "NO!" I'm hoping that with the support of
others, and journaling again I'll be able to make my goals!
 
My official Weight Watcher's weigh in day is Monday's (I've been doing the online plan over a year)
 - so we'll see how I manage to survive this payday weekend and all the good eats in town!
 
Mini Goal: WATER WATER WATER!!! and JOURNALJOURNAL JOURNAL!!!
