Weight Loss and Stuff

Hey!

Yeah, I know I said I was quitting Weight Watchers due to financial constraints but I decided, sitting in my WW meeting last week, that it’s worth it to keep going. Listening to Cindy, my leader, I was already missing her and the motivation I get when I go to meetings. I’m only half way to my goal and I really want to get to Lifetime again, so I can keep going for free, as long as I’m at goal. I know I’m someone who needs the continual support and stimulus of the weekly meetings and if I quit now, all my good intentions will fall by the wayside.

So, this week, I gained .4... The day before the meeting, I was in LA, walking a lot while drinking very little. That always messes up my system.

We’re trying to eat better. This week, I bought heads of lettuce and some spinach and tore it all up as soon as we got home from the store. Last night, I had a big, honkin’ salad for dinner, with cucumber, orange cranberries and walnuts. Yum! Tonight, I made tostada’s with shells, refried beans, lettuce, guacamole and a tiny bit of cheese. Again, yum! We’re making progress in the dinner department.

C’est la vie!

Weight Watchers...


Oops! Forgot to post yesterday. We went to get our taxes done in the morning and got thrown for a small loop. It's just disappointing when the state government screws you and doesn't give you anything in return, not even a damn cigarette!

Anyway, good news and bad news on the weight front.

GOOD-lost another 1.6 pounds, for a total of 21. Now I can get my Golden Spoon gift card!

BAD-This will be my last month of WW. I just can't justify spending the money right now. But The Husband and I are on a good path, wanting to start eating better and be healthier. We're walking again and bringing better food into the house. I'll continue to update here every Sunday. It'll help keep me honest and on track!

C’est la vie!

Sunday Wishful Thinking

I wish I'd remembered to wear sunscreen yesterday to the jewelry show I did...



Can you tell I wore a big necklace??

C’est la vie!

Weight Watchers 25th Week

Hey!

Happy Easter! No Weight Watchers this week since they’re not open during the holiday. I could go to a meeting during the week, but I probably won’t.

I was doing good this week until I had some of that new Honey Walnut Shrimp at Panda Express yesterday. Yummy!! But it’s probably highly caloric due to the breading or whatever the shrimp is covered with. Tempura? All I know is that it was really good and I can’t have it very often, same as my beloved Orange Chicken. Normally I get chicken teriyaki because it’s just naked chicken and steamed rice… And I’m usually happy with that but sometimes a girl’s just gotta have something new!

The Easter Bunny made a stop here earlier in the week, in the form of malted eggs and some chocolate, courtesy of a friend at work whose SIL was a bit too generous with the Easter cheer. But all I brought into the house for today was cranberry almond salad mix and one of the new Skinny Cow ice cream cups.

C’est la vie!
