It is time.....

Are you on a cruise or flying to Key West?

I'm flying...My BFF since 2nd grade lives in Maine, and she's meeting me there.

I've never been on a cruise. That's something I definitely want to do soon.

Why is it that the last couple weeks before vacation seem soooooooooo long?

You'll be in warm, sunny Key West before you know it, Kim! Can you bring some sunshine back with you for your WISH buddies? Pretty please?

Kim,
Sounds like fun, I wish I was going somewhere warm.I have been freezing for weeks now- except when I am having a hot flash! No fun there.

You'll have a great time in Key West. It's such a cool place. We're cruising there in March...just a brief stay but still fun to walk around and take in the atmosphere. Be sure to see the Cat Man if you haven't before (and if you like cats). He performs by the cruise ship pier a little before sunset.

 

[kimwim8]

Wow...nothing like abandoning my journal! Sorry ladies!

Key West was absolutely wonderful! Not really warm (in the 60's) but I wasn't shoveling snow! hahaha

Funny thing, I don't remember how to post pics on here. If anyone is on Facebook, we can be friends on there and you can see my pics a lot easier.

Hope you're all well! I'll check back soon, I promise!

 

[momof2minnies]

Glad to see you had a nice trip Kim.

See you around here again soon I hope.

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

Glad you had a great time in Key West, Kim!

Have a great evening!

Happy Monday Morning! (wow...don't say that often! )

I hate saying these words because I've said them so many times....

BACK ON TRACK!!

I'm starting Weight Watchers at work on Wednesday, but I just can't take not fitting in my clothes anymore...so today is it. Isn't a shame that my mind plays such mental games with me? Like....well, if you start today,then you'll lose that "water weight" before Wednesday and then it won't show as a good loss for your first WW week. Oh, come on! I've been eating like a pig for so long now, I can't even decide on what crap to eat anymore...b/c none of it is exciting anymore.

So, here I go....

Amen, sista! I've been there before!

I hope WW works for you.

 

[corinnak]

Hooray, Kim!

You know, I know what you're saying about not starting before the weigh in on Wednesday, but those numbers aren't the important thing, really. It feels good to have a big loss the first week or two, and I'm sure you will, whether you start today or Wednesday. WW is a tool to get you where you want to go, though, so the sooner you start, the sooner you get where you're going!


I just hope you have a good leader - those meetings can be dreadful if the leader is annoying.

It sounds like you're ready, though, and I look forward to cheering your progress!

 

[kimwim8]

Going well so far! I've been online looking up new recipes to try...and I'm going grocery shopping tonight.

I don't have my kids this weekend, so I plan on making up a few of the recipes and freezing portions!

Have a great weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

I made a chicken/broccoli/brown rice recipe from the WW week 1 booklet. Yeah, not so good! Very, very bland. It was edible...and did the trick, as far as fueling my body. But I'm going to think of some way to spice it up a little more for the next time I make it.

The weather was beautiful in Jersey this weekend!! Sunny and 60's! I was able to get out for a nice long walk yesterday. I'm planning on walking most days this week at lunch (except for Thursday, which is my WW at work weigh in). During my whole walk yesterday I just wanted to jump into running. But I have to try to be smart about making sure my knees are up for it at this point. I'll walk for a while and then insert some little running spurts at some point.

Have a good week, all!

 

[toystoryduo]

Don't you just love this nicer weather?!?!? It's a nice break from winter and great walking weather!

There are some great recipes on the WW site. Some of them are a bit on the bland side, but if you add some onions or garlic or some spices, they can be quite tasty.

Hope you have a wonderful week, Kim!

 

[momof2minnies]

Hey Kim,
Glad to see things are going well.OMG what a weekend- why can't it be like this all the time?

Yes take your time getting back to running, it is not fun being hurt.

Have a good one,
Linda

 

[kimwim8]

Hey ladies! Today was my first weigh in for the WW at work program. Well, last week was the initial weigh in...this week was the first potential for loss week! I lost 4.2 pounds! I'm so excited! The next weigh in will be next Wed, so only 6 days this time. Weigh ins will typically be Weds, but this week had to be pushed out a day b/c my WW leader was just getting home from the Princess 1/2 Marathon. hahaha

Today is also my DD's 11th birthday. Time just flies!! Love that girl so much!

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go on your weight loss, Kim!!!!

Happy Birthday to your DD! Any special plans for her birthday?

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

She's pretty much got stuff going on all weekend! Yesteday she had her party in school & brought in soft pretzels. Tonight she had a St. Patty's day dance. Tomorrow morning she's playing in the basketball allstars game. Tomorrow night I'm taking Em and 3 friends to a hibachi restaurant she loves and then they're sleeping over, and Sunday night my family is coming over for her bday cake!

I'm tired already. haha

 

[momof2minnies]

Sounds like fun- have a great time!

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

Sounds like a fun weekend! Hope everyone has a wonderful time!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey ladies. I had weigh in today. I lost another 2.4 I received my 5 pound star, and my total lost is actually 6.6!

I'm definitely feeling better. Most of my clothes still fit the same...but I do feel not as sluggish and tired all the time.

The weather here is supposed to be sunny and in the 60's until next week sometime. I'm looking forward to many walks in the sun!!

Hope all is well with you, my friends!
