Again, just put me on the naughty list. Up .5

Hi everyone!

I am not sure how this happened since I have been eating so poorly lately, but I am down from 216.2 to 214.2, for a loss of exactly -2 pounds.
Maybe the damage I did will show up next week. Who knows.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend!

I woke up today with a new attitude. I been reading through my food journals and I noticed that for some reason the last 4 to 6 weeks I was starting to get back my terrible "all or nothing" attitude and once again that attitude back fires on me. I think I am putting so much pressure on myself to eat "perfect" during the holidays that it winds up having the reverse effect...I eat 2 cookie the next thing I know I'm eating everything else in sight 2.

I woke up first mad at myself because almost a year of doing weight watchers I KNOW BETTER!!!!! I know I can have 2 cookies and it's not the end of the world...it's all about balance. My weight watcher week usually starts on Thursday so I am starting clean this week, I can't wait till New Years to start a "resolution"..... resolutions are BAD! having a healthy attitude and lifestyle is so much better than waiting till January 1 to make a resolution....so I'm back on weight watchers with a new attitude the attitude that allowed me to lose 25 pounds last year..It's not all or nothing! I can have cookies and cake and whatever else here and there but it's all about an overall balance. I know I can do it! If I work at it and I know there will be bumps in the road, but I just have to handle the bumps better. I heard Jillian Michaels say this on her podcast yesterday:

So on the road to fitness you hit a BUMP in the road and you get a Flat Tire what are you going to do??????? change the tire??? or SLASH the other 3?!?!

I know on my road to a healthy lifestyle it's all about my attitude. I got the exercise thing down, I even know how to eat right too..But its the mental attitude and overall balance that I NEED to work on and I'm taking the steps to work on that 2

BRILLIANT!

Kathi- even when you lose 5 pounds and post on time, YOU are the naughty list. Heh.

Whatever, Jan 1st is our BIG start. I'm trying to gently ease in to that "place"....the place without packages of cookies and fudge left on my doorstep every night.

 

[Kathi OD]

Oh Good Lord!!! LOSE 5 pounds???? You do know who you're talking to, right??? I couldn't lose 5 pounds in one week if my life and the lives of everyone I knew depended on it.

Whatever, Jan 1st is our BIG start. I'm trying to gently ease in to that "place"....the place without packages of cookies and fudge left on my doorstep every night.

Where is this place, the one where people leave such goodies on your doorstep every night??? This sounds like a place I need to move to, for sure!!!

Sure you could:
Cut your hair, trim your nails, gnaw off a limb, start a meth habit (who needs tooth retention?), sell a kidney on e*bay ...etc. See? GEEnius.



OR, eat a little less and sneak exercise in to your day without noticing (stairs instead of elevator, park in BFE at Walmart, etc.) and try to gag down some water.

Zion. aka, Utah. We are givers of treats.

I like to wax my bikini line when I have an especially tough weigh-day coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was joking.

 

[Pakey]

Hi guys.

I am not posting my weight. I am throwing in the towel until after next week. I'm so disgusted with myself. And today is the company xmas party with excellent catered Mexican food. Not like that stuff isn't loaded with fat grams.

I was 3 lbs from my goal weight and have now gained back about 10. At my age, the weight comes off so slowly so I hate myself for the amount of work I am now going to have to do.

And in one month and one week I will be forced to put on a bathing suit on that cruise. Dang it.

I dont have that luxury I lasered everything down there....TMI!

 

[2girlsmom]

Well, I'm sticking with naughty, cause I still haven't even picked up the scale that my mother is giving me... I promise to get it this next week, k?

Looks like we will be with the Mouse at the same time!! We will have to help keep each other on track until May . . . maybe I can borrow your laser!

Water? I can do water. I already do water. Those steps might be hard though, no elevators in my life, anywhere. Far end of parking lot...that's a no brainer, pretty much something that's already in my repetoire. It's those other "gifts" that me!!

I'm + .2 this week, so basically a samer.

We're travelling for the whole next week, so the normal routine will be out the door - just hoping not to do too much damage.

I'll try to check in, but if I don't get a chance...

Happy Holidays Peeps!

 

[the Fidge]

OK I am a samer but its better than gaining right?? UM that was after I cut my hair, removed nails, ebayed my kidney, am had all non essential organs removed. SO I guess I am just bloated then?? OK works for me! Hey wonder how much an eyeball weighs??

 

[pixie dust 112]

-1 finally...of course I then went to a Christmas party at the county club and indulged in the most fabulous buffet! It is my favorite meal of the year!

 

[LittleBoPeep]

Mom doing much better. they are going to move her to a regular floor possibily tomorrow. it doesnt look like she will be home for Christmas and she is getting sad about that but I told her we would just have family Christmas when she came home.

Pakey- i'm so sorry to hear about the mom who lost her fight with breast cancer. it is so sad that those children have lost their mother but i think losing a love one at this time of year makes it even harder.

I really thought i might lose my mom this year. As i think back, if she had waited even just one more hour to go to the doctor- i think i would have.

This board is all about improving our health. So lets all take a look at ourselves - me included- find that motivation - it doesnt have to be about losing weight but just about making 1 little change at a time to live healthier. That one change could be- no carbonated drinks, eating more vegatables, exercising some- cause some is more than none, what ever .... the point is to make one change at a time even if it is a small change eventually it will make a difference.

I have a hard time with this- i think that is why we are all here- we have found others that are like us that finding the strength to make that first small change feels overwhelming. so with the support of our peeps lets all commit to making one small change for a healthier new year.

I love you guys so much-

Robin

I'm glad your mom is doing better. My dad just moved out of the Cardiac Critical Care Unit yesterday, and they said they are shooting to try to get him home before the New Year. Sure hope the same happens for your mom.

I think you totally hit the nail on the head. It's amazing how one small change can make a difference, and often that can start the ball rolling for other changes to come easier. I'm not quite sure what mine will be yet... but I sure know I'm ready for it.

Still helping out dad and not back home to my scale yet. My mom's scale said I had lost 8 lbs. when I got here just from the plane ride, so I don't trust it. I should be going home Sunday, so if it's ok to post then I will... otherwise I will wait until next week.

Happy Holidays to you all this weekend and upcoming week, and enjoy your vacations and your families!!!

We will be at the Dolphin One Night May 9th..Disney Cruise from May 10th - May 14th and then the 14th of May - May 21st we are staying at the beach club

I'm posting my weigh in tomorrow.

Sorry I've been MIA lately, but I was sick on Sunday (food poisoning maybe?), and we've been busy this week preparing for Christmas. I have a lot planned for tomorrow, including uploading pics, laundry, putting away the boxes the decorations were in, wrapping DH's presents, general straightening up, and posting my weigh in of course. If I get my pics uploaded, I'll share some Disneyland ones. And if I can get pics taken and uploaded of my hair, I'll share those too - it's purple! Not most of it, but underneath, in the back, I have purple hair. Only the ends show when my hair is down, which is most of the time.

We will be at the Dolphin One Night May 9th..Disney Cruise from May 10th - May 14th and then the 14th of May - May 21st we are staying at the beach club

We booked our May trip, and we will be at the Boardwalk (Boardwalk view ) from May 15th - 22nd. We should try to meet up!

Thanks for your earlier post about all or nothing. I'm struggling a little bit with attitude right now, and it helped. So thanks!

Dang, I'll be at Beach Club May 2-9 so I will just miss you. I'm going with my best friend (who I met here on the disboards) and we are going to be on the deluxe dining plan (should I be admitting that here on the peep thread) so don't count on there being any food left after we leave.

This will be my first time going without my husband. He didn't seem all that concerned that I was going without him. Hmmmmmmmm........

I'm down 2 this week. I know I should be happy, but I'm really upset. I went holiday dress shopping yesterday. I usually go to the vintage shops in the area to find dresses, because they end up being less expensive and a lot nicer. Anyway. I just hate grabbing something off a rack and knowing that it will not fit me, then to find something I think looks bigger, only to try it on and not be able to zip it up. I left the shop and just started crying. I have never cried because of something like this, I've never felt that bad about myself before. I also saw old pictures of myself yesterday. I was 120 pounds. So I know that it's doable. I used to be able to maintain and lose weight, but in the last three years I've been having so much trouble.

I'm moving out of my current apartment and into a small house with my best friend and boyfriend the first of the year. We all want to make a lot of changes in our diets and everyday habits. I'm really looking forward to a fresh start somewhere. I know that my friend and I will really help each other lose weight and get healthy. My boyfriend is supportive but, of course, if he wants to lose weight all he does is stop drinking pop for a day and poof.

I really want to get under 150 by the 27th. Ideally, I want to be 145, but I'd really have to work. Hopefully I will. Packing is going to be rough, but I guess calorie burning?

I hope everyone has a great Holiday. Sorry I'm such a downer today.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I'm -1

Back to where I started 2 weeks ago, let's hope I don't start the cycle over.
Last day of school for 2 weeks, so I'll have time to get moving!
