Hey!
Ta da! Another pound down. 17 all together. It must be showing, since I’ve had comments about losing weight this week. Lately I’ve bought a few new tops that aren’t as baggy as what I’ve been wearing. You know how you wear baggy stuff, thinking it’s hiding your bulk? Yeah, that never works but we do it anyway. Then when we buy clothes that fit well, I guess we look all that much better.
It’s Girl Scout cookie time. I bought a box of cranberry oatmeal and I’ve managed not to eat them all in one sitting. But I think next month I’ll be getting a box of Thin Mints and that will be the real test. But I’m up for it! I’ll be strong!
C’est la vie!

Weight Watchers Nineteenth Week
Hey!
Another week of loss, this time 1.2 pounds! Yay!
And this week I hit my 10% loss of body weight, for which I received this lovely coppery key chain. Show ‘em, Vanna:
So, feeling pretty good right now. No diagnosis yet for the tummy troubles but the medicine I’m on is doing wonders and tests are on the horizon. I’m eating fairly normally again and that’s a Good Thing. Lots of exercise time, too.
Hope you’re all doing well, too!
C’est la vie!

Weight Watchers Eighteenth Week
Hey!
LOSER! That’s me. 1.8 pounds this week. And that with a luncheon at the Marriott that my company treated us to and a potluck on Friday! Both of those days I didn’t eat dinner and made sure I exercised all week.
Funny thing is, my inches are being quite stubborn. Looks like I either lose weight or inches… Whatever, it’s all good.
Going to the specialist this week to see what’s up with my goofy stomach. I’ll feel much better when I have a diagnosis and can start dealing with whatever it is… Till then,
Do what makes you happy!!

Weight Watchers Seventeenth Week
Hey!
The tummy is still not well. In the middle of tests and dr. visits… But I lost 2 pounds in the last two weeks, which is a Good Thing.
Here’s something I found that is extremely nom and only 2 points a pack:
The sweet and salty is Excellent!

Weight Watchers Sixteenth Week
Hey!
Today, I had a loss of .8 pounds. Yea! But I’m still .2 pounds away from the low I hit a few weeks ago. I’ve been a little less focused on weight loss lately because I’ve been struggling with a stomach problem that I think may be lactose intolerance. I’ve had tests for really bad things, like disintegrating organs, but all of that is fine. So I’m cutting back severely on dairy to see what I can tell the doctor when I see her again. You’d be amazed how many foods include milk and I didn’t realize how much cheese I eat…
Here’s what I had for lunch yesterday:
It’s one of those new Cranberry Apple Walnut salads at Carl’s Jr. Super Nom! Love all the things in the title, plus it had spinach. Really good! But, I did have to dig out the cheese before I dug in and fortunately, they’d lumped it all in one place. This morning, I forgot to eat before weighing in, so I had an Egg McMuffin, without the cheese, which also shaved a few points off the total, which is a Good Thing… Both of these meals replaced my usual frozen yogurt :-(
Cutting out dairy is making me eat healthier. So many of the snacks I like (cookies, cake, ice cream) have milk in them… So, I loaded up on fruit and sorbet, which said it may contain milk byproducts but didn’t have milk in the ingredients list… Something else that was helpful in my quest to reduce dairy is that apparently all labels now have to include a special list of things like milk, wheat, glutten and soy if they’re an ingredient so it’s easy for folks with those allergies/sensitivities to glean that info and slam it back on the shelf.
So, here’s to another week of tracking and eating right. I have a goal of losing three more pounds before Valentine’s Day, which is totally doable. I think I need to be working on small goals to keep myself focused during this weird tummy trouble.

Weight Watchers Fifteenth Week
Hey!
So, I lost 1.2 pounds, which sounds good but still doesn’t take me down to where I was the week before Christmas. This stomach bug has me all screwed up. I’ve been on program, mostly, and at least I didn’t gain.
We’re trying to figure out what’s up with my stomach and the physicians assistant I saw said to cut out dairy while the tests were being run. That’s helped a little. And I brought in a lot of fruit, which is always a good thing.
For a while, with the sinus infection and breathing being somewhat optional, I wasn’t doing a lot of exercise but now I’m at least back to my usual 20-30 minutes a day.
Ahhhh, it’s a process and right now it’s a messed up process but I’m doing what I can and I know, eventually, the things I’m doing right will catch up on the scale. Oh, yeah, my measurements have continued to go down, so I’m grateful for that and figure something’s going right!

Sniff, Sniff
I didn't get to Weight Watchers today. I also didn't get to go to lunch with a group of friends. Blame my stupid sinuses. They've attacked and they're not giving up easily. A big RAZZberry for my sinuses.
According to my scale here at home, I would have lost what I gained last week, plus another pound... Ah, well, next week should show a huge loss and I will happily crow that to the world.
The Husband is off getting me strawberry frozen yogurt with a side of chocolate sprinkles, as I sit here composing and blowing my nose. Thank God for Good Husbands and Buffs Puffs!
