Weigh IN~

Well I went and weighed in and I didnt make my 5% this week but I did loose 1.2lbs!!! So I am now down to 191.6!!!

BIG PAT ON THE BACK FOR ME!

I am feeling a little frustrated lately with my weight loss!! I am so happy that I am loosing but I guess I feel like I should be loosing faster! I think that this feeling is very natural to have so I am keeping my head held high and going to keep moving forward!

I would like to try and share a recipe with my followers at least once a week so that we could begin to learn new WW meals, snacks, or my favorite SWEETS!! If you have any recipes that you would like for me to post on my blog please send them to me at :ssellars06@yahoo.com

I am so worried about my weigh in tommorow morning! I havent ate as well this week, but I have walked the last two days and plan on walking again in the morning before I go to weigh in!

I think that my biggest problem lately is not planning! So my goal for next week is to make my meal plans and take my lunch to school in stead of sneaking to the cafe and getting a BLT!!! Whoops I guess I told on myself, but let me tell you... IT WAS SO GOOD!!!lol

Whoo hoo I lost 2lbs this week at my weigh-in!! I am really starting to feel better about my journey! My sister went with me this week and she joined WW too! I am so glad that she did because now I will have her and A to help keep me on track.

Just another little BRAVO that I have to anounce is my measurements! I thought I would wait another week or so before I measured myself again, but I just wanted to see how my progress is going! OK HERE WE GO!!!

Measurements:
Waist:40.5....today 39.5
Bust:40.........today40
Hips: 44.5.....today 43
Arms:15........today 14.5
Thighs:27.....Today 25

My first number will be what I measured at the begining of my WW weight loss! I use eTools and I enjoy being able to look at this info in a chart!
Weight as of today...192.8

My weekend was pretty good. My husband took our 7 year old fishing on Saturday and caught a mess of fish! So for Sunday lunch we had fried fish and fries! I did really well and only ate a little bit, but it sure was good. For supper I did really well and ate a salad with vinagar as dressing!! My week is going to be filled with tests and check-offs at school so I have to be careful not to let the stress get the best of me this week!

Okay so life is hard and food is easy! Food is the way I have always dealt with my emotions!! I am trying so hard to learn that food makes my life hard when I overdue it and that all things are good in moderation.

I weighed about 217 at Christmas and so as always my new years resolution was to "LOOSE WEIGHT!!!" I tried on my own for a while and was able to get down to about 205 and then from there I hit a stopping point...so I joined my local WW. My cousin A was doing WW so thanks to her I had a lot of encouragement to get started!!! Thanks A!

The only thing that I am not pleased with right now is my exercise! I really want to walk 3 times a week or go to a gym but being a nursing student and a full time mom to 3 girls under the age of 7 really takes up a lot of my time!

HERE IT GOES...lol
WW Weigh in's so far
2/20 200.6
2/26 198.4
3/5 196.2
3/13 196.6 I gained .4 this week but i went and weighed in anyway!!!
3/19 194.8

So here is all my personal weight's that is hard for me to even talk about much less put on my blog, but I am going to be BRAVE and enjoy my journey!

My goal short term is to weigh 180 and my long term goal is to weigh about 165... I get overwhelmed easy so I have to take baby steps in order to do well!

My sister is suppose to go and join WW tommorow and I really hope that she does because I love to have support and enjoy talking with A and other WW ppl about what they eat and how there weight loss is going!
