Truethful Tuesday....

They say the scales don't lie. Sometimes I have to wonder though.....

Today was weigh in day at my Weight Watchers meeting (you actually weigh in at every meeting). I tried a new tactic this week. I kept track of all of my points. I wrote everything that went into my mouth down in my food journal. "If you bite it, write it" as they say. So that's exactly what I did.

I got my Subway kids meal before I went into the meeting. The meeting is on my lunch break and there's a Subway right next door. I swear, it's like they planned it that way or something. So, I walk in with my meal in my little turtle bag (LOVE it by the way) set the bag down, grab my stuff and the step on the scale.

I'm clamping my eyes shut so that I can't see what she writes on the paper. I hear the pen tap the paper then nothing. What?! No, "Good job," no, "Maybe next week". Finally I can stand it any longer. "How'd I do?" Well, I'll tell you how I did...I lost 2.4 pounds is how I did! I'm proud of me. Who knew that following the plan would actually work?! (I did, but that's besides the point).

Now I have to go home and brag to my husband. So until next time, God bless.

There's Less Of Me To Look At!

Today has been busy. I got up (late) got around and got Claire around. She was such a cuddle bug. It was to the point that I just wanted to lay down with her and snooze the day away. But alas, I got her around and dressed as well as myself.
I got to work sat there, sat there, sat there....then it was time for my dentist appointment. Good news, I have a good clean mouth! No cavaties, no gum problems, none of it! Yeah me. So went back to work, sat there for an hour. Then to my Weight Watchers meeting.
On the way to the meeting I spaced and drove right past the meeting site. Let's just say I was tired. So, got there and took off my shoes. Time to face the music. She wrote something down. "Did I gain?" 0.8 she said. Oh well, it happens. So I was a little dissapointed and went to go sit down to put on my shoes. So, I decided to look at my weight she wrote down to see how much I weighed now. I lost....LOST 0.8 pounds. Not gained, lost!
So that made my day a little better. When I got home I drove up in the drive to a little girl and her daddy playing in the front yard. Made my day when she started screaming "Momma! Momma! Momma!" so, there's my day in a nut shell. Until next time, God bless.

Yippee!

Go me! Okay. I know that it's been awhile since I've blogged and I'm sorry. Here it goes. The last few days I've been sick. I've had to drag my but into work since we're short handed and not allowed to call in. Fun stuff I know. So I'm at work making it through the days and each day starting to feel a little bit better. Until,...ta-da! I think I've finally kicked whatever it is that I've had for the past week and a half.
Go me. Claire had it first, then I got it and now it's daddy's turn. Poor daddy (not my daddy, Claire's daddy). I called him this afternoon to find something out and he sounded HORRIBLE. Came home and he was in bed with Claire watching TV. He was so ready to go to bed. I tried to get him to call in, but he has a strong, strong work ethic. He's the kind of person who has to be physically not able to work before he'll call in.
Okay, so yesterday was my weight watchers meeting. I went on my lunch break so that I wouldn't have to go after work. I stepped on the scales.....I lost 1.5 pounds! I was so excited. Of course today I used some weekend points up. (That's what I call them anyways.) I just have to buckle down then next few days. So, until next time, God bless.

Buh-Bye Fatty...

Okay. Dealing with a sick kiddo for the last three days has been crazy on my eating this week. Either I've been eating everything in site, or not at all. And I haven't been tracking my food at all these last 4 days. I figured that since I had my weekly points allowance I had some give.
Well...it turns out that I was right. I had to take Claire with me to my Weight Watchers meeting. Her fever had broke, and I figured we'd go in I'd get weighed and we'd sit for 5-10 minutes tops and then high-tail it out of there.
We got there, and I was trying to get everything situated, I got my things that I needed out and was getting Claire's things settled (I even put her name one of the Weight Watchers name tags). Then it was my turn to step on the scales.
The moment of truth was upon me. I was trying so hard not to hold my breath. 154...I had to do a double take. "You mean I actually LOST weight?!" I guess all that running around the house trying to keep it clean, entertain Claire, and tend to her needs has done me some good. So to subway and then home we went for some family time.
I'm just ready for Claire to feel better. She's had a runny nose and a bad cough since Saturday night. I took her to the doctor on Sunday and was told that it's a virus and needs to run its course. I've had to call in the last two days to take care of her and now I think that I've caught whatever it is that she has. Yuck!
My poor baby. She's acting like she feeling better though, so that's good. She had half of a little pizza from Subway, which means that she's getting her appetite back. (I know pizza isn't the healthiest thing but it's something that I know that she eats and eats well.) Hopefully she'll continue to get better. Until next time, God bless.

Ain't Nobody Don't Like Me I'm Just So Fresh and So Clean...

Okay, today was a much better day. I read through all of my Weight Watchers week 1 materials. This Saturday I plan on going shopping for some healthier groceries (referred to around here as "Mommy Food"). It sounds silly, it's only the second day and I already feel better. I think that it's just the fact that I'm starting out on the right track again.
Anyways, I am so glad that this week is almost over. Tomorrow I get to go all country. We're going to the Gretchen Wilson concert at Tumbleweeds! I bought myself a jean mini-skirt, a pearl snap shirt, and even some cowboy boots. Yes, as my coworker put it..."Oh, you're one of THOSE girls." Yup, sure am. I'm gonna wear those boots with my skirt, and it's going to look dang cute!
Until that time comes, I had a BLAST with Claire tonight. She was in such a good mood. I got her to use the potty again! And she gave lots and lots of kisses tonight. I love my life! Until next time, God bless.

Weight Watchers Momentum...Day 1

All right, first day of Weight Watchers Momentum plan. I woke up and had my breakfast, corn bread and milk with a cup of coffee. Everything was going pretty well today. Except for the fact that I wanted to eat because I was bored. I am the type of person that when there's nothing to do I stuff my face. Not good I know.
I am very proud of myself though. I didn't go over my points today! I even ate healthier than I've been eating in awhile. If I can keep it up like this all week I'll be actually looking forward to stepping on the scales.
I came home today and I was a little cranky though. I wasn't used to have to be controlling my portions so I was hungry. Chris can't wait for me to get used to Weight Watchers again so I'm not so grumpy. I think that I'll be fine.
Now trying to decide....do I get a scale....or not? Until next time, God bless.

My First Weight Watchers Meeting...

Okay, since yesterday was such a good day today decided to balance it out. CRAPPY. Got up late, rushed to work, coffee maker went crazy. Let's just say that I've had better.
I got to my Weight Watchers gave them my monthly pass that I bought online and stepped on the scales.....the moment of truth was upon me. I was trying not to hold my breath as she wrote down that number that was on the scale. 156 lbs. That means that my BMI is 25% "moderatley overweight". Ugh!
Good new: I'm 4 lbs lighter than I thought I was. Bad news: I have 23 more to lose. It'll take a lot of work, but it'll be worth it. Anything worth doing isn't going to be easy.
When I got home I was so happy. I had a little girl that saw me and started screaming at the top of her lungs with excitement. And a husband who was all ready with the hugs and kisses.
I know today's post is short, but I'm tired and it's been a long day. So until next time, God bless.

I smell.....BACON!

Today was a pretty decent day. I had to get up and hour earlier than usual in order to go to a meeting at work. I woke Claire up, as soon as I opened up the door to her bedroom the smell waive came rolling over me. My poor baby had some sort of stomach bug and had a runny diaper. So I got her cleaned up, and dropped her off in her pajamas and off I went. Missing my cuddle bug the whole way.
Got to work and had my meeting. blah, blah, blah. Went through the work day without a hitch. Got off early to go to a doctors appointment (yearly woman's thing...UGH!). Came home and had a snack....BACON! I LOVE me some bacon, extra crispy. I really need to find a healthier snack. Needless to say, my diet hasn't "officially" started yet.
I have my first weight watchers meeting Saturday. I had earned my lifetime membership about four years ago, got pregnant, and, well...don't have it anymore. On the upside, I got on the scale today at the doctors office and it showed that I had lost 4 pounds! Go me!
I've decided that I want to become healthy not only for me, but for my family. I want to be able to play with Claire for years and years to come. (And if I don't take care of myself that won't be possible.) She was in such a good mood today when I got home. All of us in bed playing. She would grab Chris's chin and then my chin and make us kiss....so sweet. It just got me thinking about our family and the future. Anyways, I'm rambling...so, until next time, God bless.
