Weight: 192.8 - :: loss ::

I weighed myself this morning… and at Weight Watchers and I’m the same weight - 192.8  OMG!!!  I got my 25 pound loss magnet tonight at the meeting too.  I’m so stoked, I’m over the moon :)  I just am really happy to finally be over the 194 hump so to speak and now I’m so close to being in the 180s… I’ve not been that low since high school nearly 15 years ago.  OMG!!!! So freakin’ happy today.

I’m also totally addicted to walking.  I have to walk - everday.  It’s not easy, but I’m doing it.  Love putting on the MP3 player and walking.  I didn’t think I’d ever get to this point where I’m enjoying myself… doing exercise!  But I did it.  I am doing it.

I think I need to invest in new runners… but OMG!  So happy.  I wish I could bottle this feeling for those days where nothing seems to go well - and remember how much I enjoyed this feeling.

Weight: 193.0 - :: loss ::

Obviously something must be wrong with me if I am starting to enjoy exercise… in the lines of walking.  Last weekend I did 3 hour long walks… mostly to just get out of the house, but it was exercise - I put on my music and away I went.  My calves hurt like a whoo-haa… but I did it.  Even when they hurt a bit.  Can you imagine.  Me… doing exercise… while in some pain!

Never would have THUNK it!  LOL.  I’m really pleased with myself that I want to do this and I’m looking forward to the walk tomorrow… rain or shine.  Hoping for sunshine.  But it doesn’t matter!  I’m going to do it no matter what.  Tomorrow morning is the plan.

And I’M SOOOO HAPPY that I’ve now broke the 194 pound mark and am down around 192.4 to 193 - I’m now in uncharted territory… almost (Remember July 2006 - yeah, me neither!)  Well that was my lowest at 192, so I’m hoping that I can manage to keep it down till weigh in and kick some fat in the ass and get down to 192 or lower (fingers crossed!)

… on another note, my social life has taken an odd twist.  I’m not sure I want to share it completely… but it’s just odd.  Never happened to me before.  I’m not sure where to put this into the scheme of things with my life currently.  It’s exciting and odd… all rolled into one.

So that’s been keeping me busy - and the weight loss and exercise I am taking day by day and that really seems to help me lately.

Weight: 194.2 - :: loss ::

It definitely has been a little while since I’ve posted here - I think I’ve just been suffering from some blogger burnout and just avoided the site completely until…well… now.

Since last time, I’ve manged to hit my 10% at WeightWatchers - I lost 2 pounds last week and got my keychain.  I was asked what I’ve been doing to get to this point - basically I was lazy after the wedding, wasting time, bouncing up and down weight wise and not toeing the line at all.  Since re-starting at the beginning of January … I’ve managed to reach the 10% (again - I’d reached it shortly before the wedding back in July).  I also have a goal - sexy boot and being able to go kayaking… without being embarrassed that I can’t fit or the lifejacket won’t fit.  That is my goal.  The sexy boots idea - I’m excited about since I think I have big calves… and currently I can’t smoosh my way into a pair even if I tried.  I love them… knee high boots - but no luck… yet.

On Friday I wore a skirt to work - the first time ever!  I wore black tights (my way to cope with the skirt!) and I got a lot of compliments. Maybe I’ll have to start wearing a skirt more than once a year… LOL.  Maybe I’ll try for once a week… or something ;)  It was really a nice boost to the ego when I got the compliments.  And for the first time, the tights (a la pantyhose)  my nemisis - wasn’t terrible at all.  I was actually comfortable!  LOL  That hasn’t been the case in a very, very long time.

So there you have it.  That’s about it - it’s still a crazy challenge to stick to my points.  I’m trying to walk more… and just basically trying.  It’s hard… but I’m hoping to lose another 8 pounds by the end of February… get down to 187.  That’s this month’s goal

Has anyone tried Traineo?  I’ve been using it for a while, it’s nice for me to track my weight and workouts (not bothering with the calorie counting… because I’m doing WW).  If you’ve tried it, what do you think?

I like the graphs… and how easy it is to enter info… although I wish they’d have a better journaling system - so that if something cool happens to you on a certain day, you can enter it.  Kind of like a milestone I guess.  What do you think?
