Today actually went alright. I did a quick little weigh in and I’m already 208.2 - how freakin’ awesome is that! I guess the chips and dip I had the night before didn’t help with the salt = water retention part at all. I am feeling better already.

I do have to say the evening is so hard to deal with. It’s the worst time of the day for me. I get bored and I want to eat. I’ve been doing it now for a while, it’s a habit. A bad habit I have to break. I’m trying not to eat anything past 7:00pm if I can help it. So it was very, very hard! But I did it. Whooot! Give this girl a high five!!!

Today wasn’t much easier in that department. I was HUNGRY. I had a slice of veggie pizza for supper and that was alright. I’m just hoping this evening goes a little better in the hunger department than last night. Hopefully I’ll be able to distract myself

I have managed to get some exercise in yesterday and today - walking. Nothing vigorous. But I’m moving and mobile. It’s been a while and now I’m 19 pounds heavier than my lightest and my legs are feeling. I cannot be a fat woman. My body hates me. I can’t stand the cramps I’m getting in my calves from walking. It’s because I’m carrying so much weight. It sucks, but I’m not going to let it stop me. I have to do SOMETHING.

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?

Weight: 198.4 - :: loss ::

Wow, I’m not even sure where to start … LOL. The weekend was odd and fun. I sang my little heart out at a party, and I’ve been told that I can’t sing… by one person mind you - but it was a total heartbreaker to hear it. But I thought, fuck it I’m going to sing and so I did. Practically all night… good god. It was a blast - I made the point of going out and having a good time. I did. Of course they taped me singing… so heaven help ‘em. But whatever… I had fun.

… btw - I’m down! Also one of my friends’ is coming along to the WW meeting tomorrow. She needs a change and wants to lose a little weight. So I said, come along. So she’ll be checking things out and signing up for a meeting or two (if all goes well).Wish us luck!
