W-Day #26

Almost, almost, almost there... so close in fact I can FEEL it! I am excited to post that I am down another 1 lb which means I am only .6 away from the big 3-0 lbs of total weight loss. This week was extremely challenging thanks to Holiday parties, and most of all those overflowing baskets of goodies every where I turn in the office. A bunch of our clients send HUGE baskets of chocolates, cookies, cheeses, crackers, etc. and when the "norm" is to sit there and pick on this stuff all day it's easy to forget about WW. Apparently not being normal paid off this week. Lets just hope I can continue to be ab-normal!

W-Day #25

I went to weigh yesterday and all I can say is... I'll take it! I am down .4 lbs and I know it seems like nothing unless you're on the WW plan. Getting on that scale week after week makes you realize a loss is a loss and even those weeks they are tiny will add up to something big in the end! I have learned to be patient with my weight loss and it's motivated me to keep going and to not give up like I have done in the past. I am also at a weight that I have not seen in a long, long time and it's proof those "tiny weeks" have gotten me there!

Let's all give THANKS

I hope all of you had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Christo and I enjoyed a relaxing day of delicious food, good wine and hanging out with my parents, cousins, aunts and uncles. I went into this Holiday with a completely different mindset than I have had in the past. In the past no matter my hunger level I would dig in on Thanksgiving Day like it was literally the last supper. This year I celebrated WW style; I started the day with a walk/run at the river with Christo, ate a small breakfast and didn't "pick" prior to actually sitting down to eat dinner! At the end of the day I felt satisfied and extremely pleased about how I handled this Thanksgiving. It also didn't hurt to get some compliments about how great I looked from family I haven't seen in a while. Overall a successful, rewarding, WW approved Thanksgiving. Now it's time to prepare for Christmas... ahhh!
