HA!...

I give up!  I swore I wasn't going to sign up for weight watchers again because I just never follow through with it.  But, as usual, I did.  And, as usual, I've logged a few days here and there but that is it.  The fact remains that I know what and how I should eat, that I should move more, that I should cut out all refined sugars and sweeteners, that I'd love to eat totally clean... and on and on and on and on... But it's tiresome.

Here's the deal: I don't eat much but I know I should make better choices because so very little fills me up, and I need to use these eating opportunities to fuel my body so that I'll have the energy to actually move more.

I've spent my life on steroids, prednisone to be specific, and now I'm paying the price.  On the upside of things, Xolair seems to be helping my lungs and asthma quite a bit.  But, now I need to work slowly at getting stronger so I can move more without causing an asthma attack.  Top that off with fibromyalgia and it's going to be a slow go.  That said, I have done well with giving up soda.  It's back into it's proper perspective of a treat or a migraine cure.  I rarely drink it anymore, choosing instead to have water or iced tea.  Score one success :)

Now to cancel WW again and stop feeling guilty for not following thru with something I knew I wouldn't to begin with ;)

Checking In....

It's not weigh in day, but I figure Sunday is perfect for a quick check in.  So far, so good.  This first week has been about recognizing areas I really need to change, logging my food, and making better choices.

So far, I've done well logging.  That said, it can be tedious so I've decided that on Sundays I'm not logging.  We all need a "day of rest" from our routines or we tend to get bogged down and run the risk of losing focus, which potentially leads to giving up.  I'm noticing that I'm also beginning to slowly make better food choices.  Tonight for example, we had dinner at Breada.... I chose a kids mac and cheese meal and requested a side salad as opposed to the fries that normally come with it.  I'm also choosing water and iced tea over soda and cutting down on my Dunkin Donuts iced coffee habit (once a week rather than daily;).

I haven't instituted any exercise routine as of yet, but that will be coming soon:)  Alright, off to get things done.

Day 3 Back on WW...

Day 3.... It seems to me that If I can get thru today, things will start to look up a bit ;)

I've done well logging my food and points.  I need to do better with my Plexus routine, as I keep forgetting to take my supplements.  I haven't done any planned exercise at all; that may need to wait till next week as I'm trying to stay on task with eating well and logging everything.

Oh yeah!.... One more thing.... no pop at all so far this week :)  I'm looking forward to one this weekend, maybe, but I haven't died yet so, "so far, so good" ;)

Yeah....yet again at square one

It's like the movie Groundhog Day..... repeat over and over and over again until I get it right.  I swore I wasn't going to sign up for weight watchers again, but I just did.  I'm going to give it 6 months, which puts me thru till the end of summer, to see if I can stick with it and see some success like I did several years ago.  No matter how "ugly" it is, I am committed to logging my food each and every day.  I know that if I have to actually see it, then I am more likely to reign myself in and make better choices.  I'm also going to commit to my plexus routine each day and to start moving at least 5 minutes a day.

So.....I logged into my WW app and logged my weight and food for today....day 1.  I'm hoping to see that I lose at least 10 pounds by Easter (April 16), which gives me 7 weeks to achieve this first big goal.  My mini goals are to log everything I eat each day, make at least 1 choice that is "better" for me each day, and get in 5 minutes of movement each day (Simply Fit Board, Planks, Treadmill, Ball, etc).

Wish me luck!
