I know this should make me happy...
Today was my first weigh-in with Weight Watchers meetings. For anyone out there who isn't aware, I had been doing the on-line gig for a while now, but had plateaued, then stopped caring.
After Patty's success, I decided I should try meetings.
I weighed-in last Friday, and was probably not much less than the miniature horse at the stables. It should have really made me jump into this, watch what I eat and log everything.
And I did, that first day...
After that, I ate anything and everything, including a buttered bagel 3 mornings in a row as well as one afternoon of eating an order of curly fries and a strawberry shake as lunch.
I'll be honest, I had PMS, I have been emotional, and I just didn't care.
I was totally dreading stepping on the scale today. Particularly with witnesses!
I went back last night and logged what I could remember, and stopped logging when I used all of my points and all of my flex points. (My WW Peeps who read this know what I am talking about). There was more to log, but I was too depressed by then to continue. Kicking myself hard, and bellyaching on my 3 mile walk this morning that I was going to be up a few pounds on my very first weigh-in.
So, I begrudgingly went to my meeting, and stepped on the scale. Much to my surprise...I was down 2.6 pounds! What the...???
So now, do I continue with my diet of fried fish and loaded baked potatoes, or actually try the WW lifestyle?
I know intellectually what the answer should be. And I am going to really try this week. If I can lose more than 2.5 pounds without really trying, imagine what I may be capable of if I trade-in my nightly bowl of chocolate chip ice cream for a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich!

Way to go!
The part that made me the proudest of you...that you knew you didn't do what you should have BUT you stilled logged it (what you remembered) and that you went to the meeting anyway, even though you thought you would be up.
More power to you!
I need to get my butt back in gear or I will be gaining it all back.
Keep up the great work.

I am going to try to eat better and log regularly this week, but have already slipped up, and we had dinner out for a friend's birthday last night. I had the chicken and veggies rather than the steak and baked potato I really wanted, but the chicken had this {DELICIOUS} sauce, and I am not sure how to log that exactly.

Yay for you Beth! Now I am feeling somewhat obligated to do something to continue my success. I have not been journaling - and I'm barely hanging on to my loss. And truthfully, I wanted to be down another 4 lbs. by the 25th. That probably won't happen, but I'm going to give it my best - I'm going to grab my journal right now - and the biggie for me - I'm going to commit to exercise for the next two weeks and see what happens! Day by day...it's the only way!
