Opportunity

I am on Week 2 of WW. I need to really get to know the site this week...print off some recipes, read a few success stories and join a challenge or two. I KNOW this is gonna work...I had the best week I've had in weeks because I was watching my points. Feels so good:)

What is working for you right now?

The right choice

Weight Watchers is just GREAT! It is really helping me

stay on track. So happy I took the plunge:) Not only have I been eating well 

but my workouts are getting stronger. Rather than just "winging" it

at the gym I have a plan to sweat at least 45 minutes each time I go. There is this really

awesome machine {it is kind of like an elliptical but better}

I found a few weeks ago...it is crazy how much I'm enjoying it!!!

Today I went a bit overboard on my

WW points...but that's okay...I had plenty of extra points they give you each week 

so just used those. My daughter and I took my Mom to our fave Mexican place

and even though I ate slowly and enjoyed every bite

...I'm sure it was still too much!

 I feel like I am on the right path...at long last.

How are you doing this week?

Today...

Today I am feeling like I can do this weight loss thing.
Today I am feeling strong and in control.
Today is a busy one...lots of art projects to catch up on...can't wait to head to my art "cave" for a few hours.

How are you feeling today? What can you do to make it a great day?

I'm a Follower

After much deliberation I have decided to join Weight Watchers on-line. Yesterday I took the plunge and signed up for 3 months. I get 29 Points Plus a day which kept me full most of the day. The thing I really love about the new WW is the fact that fruits and veggies are zero points.

"Begin at the beginning," the King said, gravely, "and go till you come to the end; then stop."  -Lewis Carroll

That's what I'm doing by joining WW again. I am beginning with the basics...learning how to eat the right quanity of food, be satisfied and still lose weight. I am really excited about this choice I've made:)

Have you made any choices you are proud of lately?

Still Here

Our internet was down nearly a week...but it's back on-YIPEE!! New post soon:)

Enough of the Gym Already!

After spending 40 minutes on the ellipitical and bike I know for a fact I despise the gym. There is nothing I like about it. Nothing.

That's okay...very soon Spring will be here and I'll be outside.

Enjoying the wind on my face...
The smell of fresh flowers and grass...
Listening to the birds sing...
Feeling the warmth of the sun...
I will be outside, walking fast, pumping my arms, sweating, smiling....feeling alive.

Happy Heart Day

So I got on the scale today. It looks like I have lost a pound! I am sooo very happy about this.

It seems when I shift my attitude I notice a change in my weight. When I'm all anxious and down on myself the scale doesn't budge or goes up. When I'm calm and in control...it almost always goes down. Funny how that works;)
