Lessons From My First Week of Weight Watchers
A Dozen Thoughts About My First Week: 1: The first week of anything is easy and fun 2: I need the meetings. 3: Track Track Track, if you're not gonna track, don't bother. 4: You really can eat anything without guilt, but you may have to sacrifice other things to eat it (how many diets let you drink alcohol?) 5: The meeting leaders and staff do make a difference! When I walked in for my first weigh-in, the leader gave me a hug and ... Read the Post...

Daily diet 4-24-13 day 8
My son's band had a show at a local restaurant (a tavern) tonight. Rounds of shots were passed (not to my son, he's 15!) and I had 1 cake flavored vodka. It was yummy. Then when I got home, I was buzzed and forgot I ate half of my 7 year old's tater tots and ate some crap. So I used 3 weekly points today :( ... Read the Post...
Daily Diet 4-23-13 Day 7
Today I was literally too busy to stop and eat. So I was left with 15 points. Tomorrow, will be a challenge. My son's band is playing at my favorite restaurant where they don't have any good low-points dishes. But I will find something! Here was today: Well, as I was going to bed, after I posted this, I realized...a)I was famished and b)I forgot to add a mini bar to my diary. So I grabbed a 100 calorie bag of cookies and added the bar from ... Read the Post...
The Bra Fitting
I HATE bras. Hate them! The first chance I get I do the whip your bra off thing under my shirt. At any time, you may walk in my house and see a bra flung somewhere. So I look for comfort. But if I don't wear an underwire, my boobs look like a flat pool noodle is around me. I haven't been properly fitted for a bra since I put on 50 pounds. I was a 36 B, at my last fitting (that woman scarred me, she came into the dressing room and manhandled my ... Read the Post...
Daily diet 4/22/13 day 6
Well clearly I'm not eating much healthier, but I am getting more fruits in at least. I keep a strange schedule, I am typing this at 2:28 am. I get up with my kids and often go back to bed. Today I slept all morning! Then woke up and just wasn't hungry. The idea of veggies today made me gag. But I thought twice before I ate anything, and i would have eaten a lot more crap today, so that's a step in the right direction. ... Read the Post...
I got an ActiveLink!
I am about as sedentary as you get. I sit on my ass at the computer all day. If I'm not blogging, I'm reading. Having Lyme disease (or fibromyalgia--it's basically the same) makes motivation to move that much worse, because it hurts to move! But I can't sit around like a blob forever either. I picked up the weight watchers ActiveLink at my meeting last week. It measures your activities throughout the day with a full accelerometer. The you plug ... Read the Post...

Daily Diet 4-7-13 Day 1
My issue is I eat crap all day long. Every time I take a break, I wander into the kitchen. (I work in the dining room, right next door). I was prepared with WW snacks, and frankly, I just wanted to try everything. They didn't have the cake flavored bar so I substituted. Lemon. I had 5 points left. You're supposed to eat all of your points. But what was I going to do? Stuff my face with cookies? ... Read the Post...
Daily Diet
I will be posting a screen shot of my food journal here every day. It won't show up on the main page, but if you wan't you can access it here. Maybe putting it out there will keep me more accountable. If you do keep track, and notice I miss a day or two, kick me in the ass! ... Read the Post...
Kitchen Clean Out
One of the parts of Weight Watchers 360 is "Spaces". The first thing they encourage you to do is clean out your pantry and refrigerator. Hide the good (but not good on Weight Watchers) stuff in opaque containers and have the stuff you SHOULD be eating front and center. I had shit that expired last summer! Pantry, fridge and freezer cleaned. BAM! I also went shopping and filled up the fridge with lots of fruits, veggies, egg whites, ... Read the Post...
I bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers
I did it. I bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers. I am halfway in between two offices. Each are about 20 minutes away with no highway and lots of traffic. I tend to be late to everything, a lot. I was late to my wedding, and the scheduled c-section for my youngest son! I have joined the one on the other side of my city about 10 times. Never made it past week 5. Either I would have to skip a meeting, or was running so late I didn't ... Read the Post...
Guest Post: Things Not To Say To a Thick Chick
By Guest Reviewer, Kerry G 1. "You have such a pretty face, if only..." What, if only I lost weight? I struggle sometimes to not place my self-worth solely on my outside. Most women do. If someone's pretty, weight shouldn't change that. We all have beauty and worth that have nothing to do with looks. 2. "It's not that hard, just eat less and exercise more" Really? Wow, that never occurred to me. I know all about nutrition. And ... Read the Post...
Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie Review
This review also appeared on Ana's Attic Book Blog. I do listen to audiobooks as an attempt to get myself up and walking, yet still reading. Well, I just ended up listening in the car. That's why?Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie?really hit home for me. Also, when I was putting together my list of?Top Funny Happy Romance books, my research put this at the top of so many lists, so I had to check it out. The main character had some weight struggles, ... Read the Post...
