Weighty Wednesday -- Recommit

I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I've managed to gain ten pounds since right before I went on vacation--IN JULY!

It's true.

But I hope this is 'new' fat and not 'permanent' fat. A couple of the ladies in my WW meeting yesterday coined this term. One tends to shed 'new' fat more quickly than the permanent kind.

What is 'new' fat?

The overindulgence of a weekend, or an event, in other words, a recent acquisition.

Whereas permanent fat has had a chance to get comfy and make itself at home.

Yeah, I think that's the type of fat I've managed to acquire.

I might have gained the ten pounds in the last eight weeks, but I've actually been fighting my pissy attitude since last Christmas.

Remember last week's blog, Weighty Wednesday -- Believe?

Well, I believed I didn't need to follow the program.

I believed I could do it on my own.

I believed I knew all the 'tricks'.

I believe I'm an idiot.

Look, I'm just like you, talking the talk, but not walking the walk.

Just because I made it to my goal and manage to stay there for awhile doesn't mean this journey is over.

It will never be 'over'.

Well, it's time I recommit to my health.

I don't like the way my stomach feels when I sit and the fat rolls over the other fat rolls to warm them up.

I don't like the way my shorts fit with the pockets of the flat front shorts poke out from under my shirt.

I don't like the way I look naked in front of a mirror.

If I don't like myself, why would anyone else like me? Right?

To that effect, I'm recommitting to my journey, my weight-loss journey.

I'm measuring, weighing, and tracking my food.

I don't expect to be back at goal weight by next week, but I DO expect to feel better and regain my positive attitude.

Are you willing to join me?

It really isn't that hard.

It jus takes a little commitment and hard work.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Later, Peeps!

Weighty Wednesday -- Traveling Tracker

This week I'm down 0.8 of a pound--big whoop! I'm still 1.2 pound higher than my lowest recorded weight.

Total weight loss : -42.4 pounds

Over the last couple of weeks, okay months, I had noticed my tendency to snack, and not in a good way. So I decided to take home the TRAVELING TRACKER from my WW meeting. It's a three month tracker and it rotates around the room depending on who wants to take the challenge. Using the paper tracker will force me to jot down all those nibbles and bites that I had been ignoring.

I've also felt bloated and puffy.

Part of this I'm sure was due to the added carbs into my diet (Last weekend, hubster made a cake--like I would be able to turn it down?!) I've mentioned sugar and flour in my previous posts and how I love them, but they don't love me. Right? Well, I'm going to severely limit them for this week.

No more eating the Dove Easter Bunny--his head and neck are missing and who wants to eat bunny butt? :-P

No more scooping peanut butter straight out of the jar.

No more eating Froot Loops without measuring them.

No more eating nuts without weighing them.

No more double Margaritas at Chuy's Mexican restaurant or eating chips without counting them.

And if I'm going to eat food, then I will have to account for them!

That's all I have for this week:

REFOCUS

RECOMMIT

REALLY LOSE WEIGHT BECAUSE I WANT TO BUY A BIKINI JUST TO TEASE MY HUBBY!


Later, Peeps!
