Weigh In Day

Here I am again. Hi there friends. I have been working hard this week. I really wanted to make my goal that I set for myself. Unfortunately I didn't quite make it. I missed it by .07 pound. I was a little dissapointed, but I did however remove 1.4 pounds. I am so happy with myself. I am now at 27.4 pounds removed. I'm so happy to see this change in me. My energy level is amazing now. I feel so much better. I am finding that I WANT to be MORE ACTIVE. I love it!!!! I can't wait to see all the changes in my clothes. Right now I'm trying to find a great deal on a scale because mine is so off. I went in thinking there wasn't a change other than a gain, but that was proven otherwise. If any of you have any ideas where I could find a great scale I look forward to hearing from you.

Oh!!! Before I sign off from here I was awarded with a "jingle bell" from Weight Watchers! I'm so proud of my little bell. I have to keep it with me! I got it for my loss and also to remind me of my goals. I have to add more in my journal that I'm putting together here (scrapping one of my journey as I go along).

Have a Merry Christmas Everyone!

Getting Back to Swing of Things

Sorry I've been off of here. I have had some family issues that kept me away. Things are settling back down again so I should be able to make posts on here again. To catch up on the week of December 4th I was up 0.4lb. I wasn't happy with myself I was really hoping for a removal, but that didn't happen. I just knew I had to try harder for the next weigh in. I did and I was down a little, but hey it was great!! I'm a little set back because now I am at 26 pounds of removal. I'm going for even a bigger removal this week. I have Christmas coming up and I'm not going to let the festivities blow my next weigh in. So we'll see how it goes.

Week 17 of my Journey!

This is really becoming routine for me now. I don't have to look at point values so much now. WAIT!!! WHAT!!!! HOLD THE HORSES!!! They're changing program now!!! Just when I got this one down good. I know change is good it's just hard to accept at times.

I am looking forward to my meeting now. It has been quite some time since I've been to a meeting. Oh, I get to the weigh in's I just don't always get to go to the meetings because of the time of my shift to care for my Aunt. I have some sad news to share my Aunt passed away the day after Thanksgiving. I'm sad that she's gone and that's my flesh, it's weak ~ yet my spiritual body ~ my walk with Christ makes me stronger and happy for my Aunt to be home now in Heaven with the Lord. I'm going to miss my cheerleader, but that's ok..she's a better cheerleader now because she's on God's team!!! I had a +0.4 add on. I'm not that happy with myself, but considering it was a holiday and I did have one bad choice in there and I think that's what made me blow it. That's ok. I'm on track for this week. That makes a total of 26.2 pounds removed now. See ya in the week.

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!!
