WW commitment

Well today is the day.  I have been a member of WW for a long time just have not committed to a meeting.  I have been weighing in from time to time but nothing on a regular basis (and yes I have been paying for it).  Since I have moved to my new apartment and am getting in a NEW and BETTER regular routine, I am committing to Tuesday nights being weigh in and meeting night.  I just need to go, I think I will do better.  I will deal with whatever the gain was since the last time I was there and just move on.  I hope everyone has a super Tuesday!

Monday it is….

As per my normal Monday morning, I get up excited for the week.  I am going to kick butt at the gym, and I go and walk 2.5 miles in 50 minutes on the treadmill, which is a lot faster than my usual waddle.  And then I get to work and things are going well until the last hour or so where I had a momentary lapse in judgement and had a “minor binge”.  I think it is the excitement of getting a new job mixed with the anxiety of not knowing exactly when I get to begin that adventure.  So I decided to come over here and read a few blogs and get immediately back on track.  The offending food item (or what is left of it) is now in the garbage can.  I did do some damage but it could be so much worse.  Onward and Upward!!! 

YES!!! I Finally have a career again

Ok, so maybe this isn’t totally weight related, but then again, I guess it is.  I found out today that I was selected for a position in my career field for the first time in 10 years.  It is so hard to get into the HR field unless you experience they just turn  up their nose at you and move on.  But you can’t get experience unless someone gives you that long awaited break.  I finally got that break and am actually looking forward to pursuing a “career” and not just a “job”.  I am hoping this positive change in my life will spill over to my weight loss efforts and things will begin going my way.  So here goes nothing….

Almost There…..

Well only 3 more days until I can get my routine up and running again.  Moving is just a constant state of limbo.  I have definitely got my work out going on.  My main problem so far is grabbing a snack just because I am tired or feel I need the energy.  That is my goal for the rest of the weekend.  I only have a one bedroom apartment to move.  I can definitely feel for those who have to move more ….much more.  Good Lucky Nyssa on your move as well and a shout out to my buddy Kim aka dontwanna for helping me with my move.  I hope everyone has a good and productive day tomorrow.  Good luck on any weigh ins you may have this weekend.  Peace. 

Two more days til moving day

It seems like this has been the longest week ever, packing and packing and then to begin the fun of unpacking.  I am so excited to move to my new place and begin my new routine.  The gym I like to go to is on the other side of town and so now when I move over there is will be more convenient and maybe easier to fit in my schedule.  I hope everyone is having a good week.

Another weekend gone with the wind!!!

Another weekend gone and survived.  I am very happy to say although  I wasn’t 100% perfect I managed to maintain over the weekend.  I did not get any traditional exercise in this weekend but I did get to go bowling with my 4 year old “niece” and did a lot of packing and cleaning.  The next two weeks are going to be difficult for me.  I move next weekend, I have to correct my laser eye correction labor day weekend and I am fixing to switch jobs if everything goes well.  Last time I changed a job like this, I just totally dropped weight though so I am looking forward to that prospect. :).  I just wanted to drop a note and tell everyone to have an awesome week :)

Two steps forward, One step back

Well, this has been an interesting week to say the least.  I did lost two pounds and I am proud of that, but being the first week it should have been a little better.  My problem I think is holding my self accountable.  I can look back on the week and see a ton of things I could do better.  I focus on these things and not the good things I have done, like going to the gym twice at 430 in the morning before any human should be up.  Next week, I will remain focused and focus on the positive accomplishments and not the negative ones.

So far so good…..

So far this has been very motivational for me. I got up at 430 and went to the gym this morning and I never do that. Thanks everyone for all the support. Will keep you posted on my success!!!

Day One

Well, today is my first day on buddy slim.com.  It came highly recommended to me.  Saturdays are always hard for me, as I have no routine.  I am hoping to get that corrected soon.  I tend to just pick up whatever is lying around.  I am 33 and live in Austin Texas and I keep losing–gaining–losing –gaining.  I was down close to what I wanted to be around 165 and then put it all back on.  Looking for some group support and motivation.  Hope this works!!!!
