OK....so I knew it wouldn't be good today...not with the choices I made over the weekend. BUT.......when Joanne asked whow wanted to take the tracker for the next 2 weeks, no one raised their hand...so I said "if NO ONE else will, maybe I'll have better luck this week with it." Joanne also had each of us set a goal to reach by September 1st. Then we had to speak it aloud to everyone else and describe how we are going to reach that goal. My goal is -10lbs, I will reach it by getting back on track. Eating more fruits/veggies, drinking more water, actually starting an excercise routine, writing everything down (again), cooking my weight watcher recipes for dinner, and measuring my portions. Planning my meals is going to be a major part of it as well.
I know I deserve a healthier life, and sometimes the best things in life only come to us by working hard! So if I have to sweat a little and make a few changes, by golly I will! I can do it and I will do it!

Lost Motivation!
I can't seem to get motivated again! Ever since I went on vacation, I can't seem to get back on track. I went to my moms this weekend, I did fine until Saturday. I ate 2 krispy kreme doughnuts...but at the end of the day I only went over 5 points. Sunday, I went over 4 until I got home when I stopped at Sonic for mozzerella sticks and a oreo mix. TERRIBLE!!!!
I know I want to lose my weight...and I want to get it off quicker than I am doing right now. But when I get home, I don't want to excercise cuz I am just so darn busy. Plus I'm kinda tired of salads...so I have been eating a sandwich (only 4 pts) for lunch. Every week when I step on the scale I get more bummed cuz its only 1 lb or less (if its not a gain). I don't know what to do to get motivated again!

6/21/10 I'M BACK/Weigh-in
It has been since the week before Memorial Day that I have weighed in! I only lost 0.6 since THAT weigh-in! Terrible I know! Vacationing has not done well for me. I had hot dogs and s'mores at the lake that weekend, and I haven't tracked anything during the weeks. One week I didn't feel like cooking, and ate the wrong foods! Then the 11th thru 13th, I was in TN, which didn't help at all.
At today's meeting, our leader asked who wanted the group's 3 month tracker (i guess last week they started this thing where a new person used the journal each week). I took it this week! I figured if I know someone will be reading my daily journal, I'd better stick with my diet and actually start excercising! I am determined to get down to 199! Not that I want to stay THERE, but I would like to get OUT of the 200's! I am ready to be 140!!! haha. I gotta buckle down and really take advantage of the summer heat and sweat this weight off! I have no excuse except for being lazy! I don't want to take my daughter out in ths heat honestly, but I know I have to do something in order to see a good weight loss! Fingers crossed I will find a way to do some sort of excercise tonight! I also have to get in control of my food intake!

6/15/10 Update
So...I have been slacking...this past weekend I went on vacation where I KNOW I didn't do too well. I havent' tracked my points in weeks, and well honestly I haven't been to a weigh-in since th weekend before Memorial Day! I don't have the money to pay for the meetings right now either, which totally stinks! I have lost alot of my motivation lately and that is mostly because I haven't been seeing results! I have got to get back on track before I lose control and fall back into my old habbits! I may see what I can scrape together and pay for another 10 weeks! It is the best way I can keep myself accountable for my actions! I need to start eating more veggies and fiber again...I know that has been affecting my small weight loss. I also have been snacking on sweets way too much! ARGH! JUST FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS TODAY!

10th Weigh-in
I skipped the meeting again today, but I weighed at home. I lost 1.2lbs this week. I only have 2 more meetings before I run out of pre-paid meetings. Which at this point, financially I can't afford the meetings anymore. I think I've got a good enough kick-start to keep going on my own at this point.
I am traveling on vacation starting Friday through Monday, so I have already packed 100 cal snacks, and substuting thin bread rounds instead of hamburger buns for our bbq sandwiches this weekend, and I am also substituing Quaker rice-chips for potatoe salad. I'm bringing my granola breakfast bars for my normal breakfast. I'm going to do my best to get some excercise in this week. I SOOO badly want to get this last 4.6 lbs off so I can lose that 1st 20! I think if I really watch what I eat, and stay away from the pizza that I ate over the weekend, I'll do ok.
I have the faith in myself finally to be able to lose this weight! It is going to be a long process...I realize that, but I am willing to take a whole year if I have to. I want to be healthy and confident like I used to be! I want to enjoy my family more. Being 140 and a size 12 would be so fabulous! I woudln't have to shop in the specialty stores or go to a different section than some of my friends. I want so badly to not be embarassed to tell my family/inlaws what size I wear when they ask me around the holidays. I am just already so much happier than I was because I am proud of myself for once! I know that what I am doing is not because I HAVE to, or because someone else told me I needed to...I am doing it because I want to! There is such a difference! *SIGH* What a wonderful future I see ahead.

9th Weigh-in 5/31/10
I didn't have a meeting due to the holiday, but my scale at home is the same. I have not been very regular lately, and I didn't drink as much water over the 3day weekend because I was busy at the lake.
On Saturday and Sunday, we ate burgers/hot dogs for lunch, Sunday's dinner consisted of 1/2 grilled chicken wrap and sweet potato fries. Yesterday, I snacked alot, and for dinner I ate an eggroll. I know...I didn't track ANYTHING since Thursday. And even when I was home during the week and able to, I didn't. I was terrible, and the results showed. I only lost 0.8 lbs this week. I am determined to get below the 200's! I have 5.2 left to go! Those little 5 lbs are driving me nuts! But for some reason I have lost some of my motivation! That is a VERY BAD thing, I know, but I do still want to lose the rest of this weight. I have been so stressed about work and finances lately, I just allowed myself to go back to my old habbits. I keep eating several 100 cal pack snacks because "i can". But I know that is not what I need to do to lose this weight and maintain my goal! I want to change, SERIOUSLY! And it was so easty at first. I just allowed myself to get so excited over that first weeks weight loss of 7.8lbs, I kinda expected 3 or 4 lbs each week. However I have not been as strict or disciplined as I was the first week.
I don't feel up to taking a jog when I get home, but I know I NEED to if I am going to tone my body along the way. This week I am going to focus on my food again. Its extremely hard right now because we are broke...and I have vacation around the corner we already paid for (except the food expenses). I don't know how we are going to make it, but I know I will just have to be thrifty. I just keep thinking that I am almost to my first 20lbs goal! If I can increase my water and fruit/veggies like I did that first week, SURELY I'll see good results next monday! It would be SO nice to see 199! BUT that would mean I'd have to lose 6.2 this week! If I could lose the 7.8 I lost the first week that would be TOTALLY AWESEOM....but I am going to think reasonably: 3lbs this week is my goal. FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!
