I haven’t been posting many weight updates.  So, here’s one in case you’re wondering where I’m at.

This week I lost TWO pounds!  I couldn’t believe it!

My current weight is 235.2.  So, my total loss from when I began weight watchers is -2.6.  But, my loss from when I first started back at Weight Watchers is 4 pounds.  I am pretty proud of myself but I know I can do better.

Also, like I said yesterday my birthday is coming up.  My 26th year will be a year full of changes for me whether it is moving, to my mom moving, to graduating, and finding my first “real” job.

I’m not going to lie I am excited about all of these changes.  But, the one I am most excited for is the change that is happening within me, my weight loss.  I know I can do it, I have lost weight before.  I just need support, motivation and a little help from my friends.

Original Weight Watchers Starting Weight:  237.8 lbs

Last Weigh in 3/22/11:  239.2

Weigh in on 3/29/11: 237.8

Loss/Gain: -1.4 lbs

Well, I am back to where I was when I first joined Weight Watchers.  I am hoping this week goes a bit better.  I have my meals planned out for the day and I think I will be just fine.  In other news I started doing the #7DayChip and here are my goals:

1. To plan  what I eat and stay on track.
2. To not binge.
3. Exercise for 30 minutes 4 days out of the 7 days.

I am also still working on a challenge for April…I guess I should hustle!

I went back to Weight Watchers for the first time since February 8th.  I knew I had gained but had no idea how much.  Here’s how it looks:

Original Weight Watchers Starting Weight:  237.8 lbs

Last Weigh in 2/8/11:  232.2 lbs

Weigh in on 3/22/11: 239.2 lbs

Loss/Gain: +7 lbs

Blah.  I was shocked and disgusted that I had let myself gain that much.  I know I can do this and if I stay on the program I will be okay and lose but to let myself get back to even MORE than where I started?!  That’s pathetic.  I am back on the diet train today…even though I forgot to pack breakfast and lunch.  I will just track everything and make sure I’m staying within my points range and drinking water.  That means I have to go off the soda, and that also means that I’m going to avoid pop at all costs until graduation.  Can I do it? Yes, but it won’t be easy.  Also, I am in the process of coming up with a challenge for April…stay with me…

I posted on my Twitter the other day that I need to start making better decisions regarding my diet because it is about my health, and well ME.  I want to be able to do all these things.  I’m even on a clothing strike until I can fit into a size 12.  I have been fighting with my weight for as long as I can remember.  It’s always been something I’ve been insecure with and I’m sure I will never be fully comfortable with my body image.

Anyway, today was the weigh in and all in all I wasn’t mad, I wasn’t surprised, I just was thankful it wasn’t more of a gain.  This last week, the week before finals, has been challenging; I’ve had presentation, papers, and everything else going on in my life.  On top of all of this I am still maintaining contact with the fireman and trying to decide what I want from him.

Anyway, here are my stats:

Starting Weight: 233.6 lbs

Previous Week’s Weight:  228.8 lbs

Current Weight: 229.6 lbs

Loss/Gain: +.8 lbs

Total Loss/Gain:  -4.0 lbs

LIke I said, I know this is on me, and I KNOW what has worked for me the last times I’ve dieted.  It’s time to step up and do it.  This week is finals, so I am sure I will be stressed to the max, but I need to follow my goals, and be positive.

Goals for this week:

1. Workout at least 3 times this week.
2. Focus on drinking water.
3. Eat smaller portions.
4. Don’t stress eat.
5. Focus on me, and my health.
6. Go to the gym at least once.

These are easily attainable goals, and it’s something that I feel I can manage while still focusing on finals.  Which reminds me…I guess I should get back to studying.  I have a final that will likely take me 4 hours to complete.  Wish me luck!

But, whatever…here are my stats from yesterday:

Starting Weight: 233.6 lbs

Previous Week’s Weight:  231.4 lbs

Current Weight: 228.8 lbs

Loss/Gain: -2.6 lbs

Total Loss/Gain:  -4.8 lbs

This was an interesting week.  My mom was out of town and I was on my own.  I was so excited to be able to eat what I want and not worry about her not wanting something, although she is usually pretty good about most of my experiments.  She left on Tuesday and I had a date scheduled for Wednesday with, The Fireman, which I haven’t spoken about him but he may be a bit of a fixture for a bit.

Anyway, Wednesday came and I was so excited to go out with him.  Then, I found out or thought I found out that he just wanted a booty call which is not my thing.  Anyway, I quit texting him went to my friends house and drowned my sorrows in a burrito bowl from Chipotle.  UGH.  Not the best thing to do.

Anyway, The Fireman and I spoke, didn’t go out, but he apologized and explained himself and we plan to go out sometime soon.  But, the rest of the week was just strange.  I was never really hungry, but I knew I needed to eat and so I did.  I found an amazing new sandwich that I will have to share the recipe for soon…and I have been gathering some great recipes that I want to try.

I am hoping that this week will be better.  I am trying to eat all of our ‘bad’ food before switching to a mostly all natural diet.  Meaning no artificial sugars, I guess it’s similar to the new Weight Watchers plan.

This is all for now, but this is the last week of classes and next week is finals.  Should be interesting.  Posting will be more frequent after the semester is.
