Week 16 of my Journey!

Here we are now just before Thanksgiving. I am excited about the holiday, but it scares me to death because I don't want to have a gain next week. I don't want to fall off the accountability wagon if you will. Humor me; isn't it that we all say I gained X number of pounds because of this or that holiday?? We say that, but it really isn't the holiday's fault that we have a gain ~ it's our own choices that we make.

My Aunt is really bad now. I don't know if she's going to make it through Thanksgiving. I'm hoping that she will. We have a plan with my little one being there and all. We will be having Thanksgiving Holiday Dinner there at my Aunt's because half of the shift is mine and half will be my Mother's. I have been checking on my Aunt her breathing is more sporadic
, her pulse is elevated now. She's not really responding at this point. It is so difficult seeing her this way.

Here is the results of the week +0.2 pounds add on. I am not happy about the add on, but I think that my add on is because I'm anxious about my Aunt. I am in a difficult position right now. I really am upset about losing her, but the way she is right now that is not a life she would want to live. I know it would be better if God took her home with Him.

My total is now 26.6 pounds now removed.

Week 15 of my Journey!

I am getting there. I am feeling much better this week. Things have settled down for now. I'm glad of that. I have been still busy with my Aunt. I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to go over and help her. There have been many changes in her now. She is really declining fast. I hate to see her like this, but I know we all go to Heaven at one point or another in our lives. Her time is drawing near. We have had many good moments and some very cherished moments as well. I have had moments where I've had to walk out of the room because I begin to cry. I don't want to upset her with my tears.

Now on to the results of the week. I had a -1.4 pound of removal!!! Yea!!! This is good!!! I'm excited!!! That now makes the total for me 26.8 pounds now removed!!!

Week 14 of my Journey!

I feel that I've been doing this longer, but I'm not disappointed that it's taking this long. No, I'm enjoying the journey! I'm glad that I have others to follow along with me.

This weeks results are in +2.6 pounds add on. I'm not happy, but I'm having some issues with this time in the month. A little earlier than expected. I was not pleased with the difference of things as well. I had a scary situation, but I'm ok now. That makes a total now of 25.4 pounds now removed. I cannot let this get me down. I need to look to next week. I have a week to make a turn around. I will reach the prize of goal!!!

Week 13 of my Journey!

I am still keeping on!! I want to get the prize of being at goal. I know that doesn't come overnight although we think it would be nice. This weight didn't come on overnight so it cannot come off overnight.

My results for the week. I have a -4.0 pound of removal!!! Woo! HOoo!! I'm so proud of myself! I am actually shocked with how much of a removal. I said what? Are you sure? They said yes! They congratulated me. I had my little cheerleader there as well. School hasn't started as of yet.

I am sorry I have been leaving out my Aunt. I have been taking care of her on a daily basis now with my Mother and three other Aids from Hospice. We are working hard to care for her. It's hard to see her there in the hospital bed like that when I know she was always so active. I pray for her daily.

My total of removal is now 28 pounds removed!!! WOW!! I'm really getting there!!

Week 12 of my Journey!

I am excited how this is going. I can't believe I still have the motivation to keep going like this. I am proud of myself!! I think at this point what's keeping me going is the fact that I have so much more energy than I did before.

On with the results of the week. I had a +0.2 pound add on. I'm not happy, but still I know that next week I should have a removal again. My time should be over by then. I am still going to keep going; I will reach goal when I get there. I don't have to do it by a set date. I will do it when I get there and I want to be a lifetime member as well. So I am motivated to finish the race. I have now 24 pounds removed. I know the number fluctuates, but can't let that get me down. I must go on. See ya next week at the scale!!!

Week 11 of my Journey!!

I am excited about that award I received. I shared it with my weigh in partner and she was just as excited as I was. We like to celebrate our accomplishments. I like to go to ACMoore which is in the same plaza as Weight Watchers (shh!! don't tell my hubby).

Here are my results for this week. I am finding now that when it's that time in the month for me I have at least two weeks where there's an add on. In this case that is what happened this week for me. I have an add on of +1.0 pounds. I am not that happy, but I do know what it is so I have to let the feeling go. I am now at 24.2 pounds removed.

Week 10 of my Journey!!

I am now in week 10!! I can't believe that I've been doing this now for 10 weeks. I really hope that I do well this week. I have been tracking and journaling right along. I know that really helps to do that because when you see it on paper it doesn't always look that appealing when you go to put that in your mouth if you know that you'll be close to points or over points. I find that I'm even more accountable when I show it to my weigh in partner. We didn't know each other prior to starting Weight Watchers, but we met there and decided that if we showed each other our journals each week we'd one see what each other was eating and if we had a gain instead of a loss that we could be right there to help each other. I'm grateful for her and I'm glad that we're doing this too.

On to the results for the week. I felt pretty good walking into weigh in. I have been active more this week. I have now been weighed and here are the results. I had a -2.2 pound of removal!! WOW!!!! It really pays to be good!!! I also got my 5% goal done!!! I got a 5% sticker!!! I'd post a picture, but it's right next to my weight and I'm not ready to reveal that. I know I could to be more accountable. I have now removed 25.2 pounds!!!!!! Yeah!!!! WOW!!! I am so excited!!!
