So I'm back to my motivated old self again. After over a 6 pound gain in the last two weeks, being on plan for two days is a relief. I was going over my earliest entries in this blog and I feel exactly the same way now... funny how December 26th hit and I felt good as new again. (December 26, 2008 was the first day I started Weight Watchers. 35 pounds (ish) down this year.)I am in the mood to write out what I'm eating for tomorrow so that I can see it all laid out. Usually I only do this on my WW Online Tracker, but I feel like doing it like this.
Breakfast: 1 1/4 Cup frosted shredded wheat with 1 cup skim milk
Snack: 1 blueberry applesauce, no sugar added
Lunch: Smart Ones Chicken Enchiladas Suiza and dehydrated apple slices (no preservative, no sugar added as I made these myself)
Snack: 1 orange
Snack: chocolateFiber One bar
Dinner: 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast, 2 pieces of garlic toast, 1 cup broccoli
Snack: 1 large Texas red grapefruit
Dessert: Warm Delights Mini Molten Caramel Cake
That gives me 2 points to play with. I'll probably use it for coffee, chocolate, cheese or something.
Right before Christmas this year I started feeling like I felt just before I joined WW last year - like I was fat. I've been on the heavy side my whole life, but folks, I never actually felt fat until right around autumn of 2008. Actully feeling it is what drove me to join WW in the first place, and it's good to know that I can feel it again - it's good because it reaffirms my belief that this time I'm going to do it. Even though it's taking me a long time, with lots of hills and valleys along the way, I'm going to do it. I'm no longer complacent with my old "normal" weight (around 195). I used to be totally OK with that weight.
But no longer.
I'll be honest with myself. I will probably not make goal in 2010. But I'll be damned if I don't keep working toward it.
So here I am, forgiving myself for the last (let's face it) three months of mediocrity. Hello refreshed resolve. Thanks to a new year, the holidays being over with, and my wedding being a mere 5 months away, I'm feeling wonderful about my future.
Goodnight everyone.
I'm so glad the holidays are over. Yesterday, I caught Dad eating whipped cream directly from the can.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like the feeling of a fresh resolve. You may not hit your goal in 2010, but you can make a big stride towards it.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think you won't hit goal? I think you can!
