I am pleased to announce that (other than getting a weird cold thing) the first week of January has been not too shabby. I've been filling in at a job I don't do very often, yay money!
And I had a pretty successful week with WW, I made a bunch of Hoppin' Jack with rice and swiss chard and some filling for Fajitas and brought it all to work. It was delicious and I realized that I was eating less snacks because I was eating more points for my meals and I was super excited about eating the food that I brought. I think I need to keep doing this with exciting food and not sandwiches. Sandwiches all the time are way too boring!
At Christmas, for some odd reason, I decided I'd eat and drink whatever I wanted. After that my pants were not fitting very well at all. I slowly and (with perhaps a bit of internal kicking and screaming) decided that I wouldn't go to the meeting but I would go to weigh in. So I did, and I gained 4 lbs in 3 weeks!!! eek eek eek. So last week, I got on program, tracking, trying to move/exercise more, and because I was on a super budget I had to stick to my "go to the grocery store and eat the food I brought to work" plan. Guess what it totally worked. I was just looking at an article about a guy who was over weight and lost a bunch, he described how after he lost a bunch of weight fast he was addicted to try and loose more. I gotta say, rather than beating myself up about the fact that I am technically loosing the same weight for the 2nd or 3rd time, I am kinda excited and I want to keep it up.
I have even been thinking a lot about how I can get some more integrated social cardio into my life. I am a bit worried financially but I am trying to figure out how to make it work because I think that if I can get some good motivation about the food and the exercise I'll be really on track to loose some more lbs.
I feel like I have more things to say, but I can't think of what they are. Hopefully, I'll remember next week. Plus next week needs to see the return of the Weigh in photos because I got a little bit of pink in my hair this week and you guys need to see it.
