Yes, it's 7:30am and I'm already at work and have been for a half hour. This is my hell week where I have 2.5 workdays to close a month and a quarter. If I can stay OP this week, then I know I can do this!!!
C and I did April's budget last night so there is nothing to keep me from working out tonight. My plan is to do my 30min WATP and then hop on the elliptical for 15min or so (or vice-versa).
Ok, here is yesterday's journal and then I have to go get some work done!
B: 1 egg, breakfast sausage, hashbrowns, wheat toast, 1/2 c-chip pancake (19)
L: picked at food at a bridal shower and chugged water (11)
D: grilled cheese on light wheat (5.5)
Total: 35.5
FP's used: 5.5
Remaining: 6

It's Saturday . . . and the start of a new WW week
So I went to my WW meeting bright and early at 7:30am to find out that I gained 3.4 lbs. This did not come as a total shock b/c I ate like it was my job this week. But today is a new day and the start to a new WW week. I will lose next Saturday.
Chubkin is with my parents for the weekend and I miss her like crazy! C and I went to the Bruins game this afternoon and had lunch at Boston Beer Works. I was good and got a turkey club (no mayo, of course) and ate 3/4 of it and about 1/2 of the fries. Now we are getting ready to head to Lowes to scope out doors, cabinets, and countertops and then to dinner. Again, I will enjoy myself and journal it all. This is my life and this is a way of life. I can do this.
So, tomorrow I will post my journal for today and that will be a daily occurrence to keep me accountable!
Todays Weight: 251.4 (blah)

This is why I am fat
C and his brother left for a concert around an hour ago. I was hungry and instead of eating my other piece of pizza from dinner, I dug into the Dale & Thomas popcorn. Not a good idea. I was full and just kept on eating it. I feel gross. Whatever is left of that box is going to work tomorrow and the guys at work can eat it. I'm done.
It's things like this that I need to get a handle on or I will never get this weight off.

P.S.
I will be officially back on the wagon after WI on Saturday AM. For today and tomorrow I'm going to work on the water, getting in a workout or 2, and meeting the 8 HG's. Baby steps.
This weekend will be a challenge right off the bat. A is going to the Cape with my parents for the weekend and C and I have a date weekend. We will go out for lunch on Sat, go to the Bruin's game, go out for dinner on Sat night, go out for B'fast on Sunday (seeing a pattern here???). I will enjoy myself but not stuff myself. If I end up negative, I will work out next week to make it up. The thing that I need to keep telling myself is that this change is for life. It's not a destination, it's a journey that never ends. I need to still be able to live and enjoy life and do WW. It's possible. I just need to make it possible for me.

The first day of a new beginning . . .
This day has been a long time coming and I need to thank someone for it. Thank you Patty. You are such an inspiration and watching you kick the ass of weight loss has given me a renewed lease on the whole thing.
Since A was born 14 months ago, I have put myself last in the line of "things and people that need taking care of". I know that is normal for us moms but it's not right and I'm changing it. My husband finds the time to workout and do what he needs to do so why can't I?
How did this come about, you ask? C and I have been discussing whether to take the next 2 months off from TTC. It's been 5 months so far and nothing and I'll be honest, I need a break. Plus if I were to get pg this month, I'd have a scheduled C either right before or right after Christmas and Christmas is stressful enough as it is. And if I get pg the next month, I'd be due right around A's b-day and I don't want that either. She (and a new baby) deserve to have a birthday to themselves. So given that I might possibly have 2 months of not wondering if I'm pg and conveniently forgetting about the 8 healthy guidelines, I am recommitting.
Here are my promises to myself:
1) I will attend my WW meetings every Saturday (this usually isn't a problem but I still have to say it)
2) I will make time to exercise at least 3x a week if not more.
3) I will journal EVERYTHING regardless of how negative it puts me
I'm going into competition with myself to see how much I can lose before we start TTC again (provided we take the break). And if we decide not to take the break, I promise myself that I will not forget about WW b/c I *might* be pregnant.
I need to do this for myself and for my family. They need me. I'm a big deal to them :)
