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 suck at this consistency thing. However, I do have excuses…but they’re not going to be posted here.

I started a challenge with the Sisterhood today. I am pretty excited and I love doing their challenges.

Starting Weight: 233.6 lbs

Previous Week’s Weight: 230.8 lbs

Current Weight: 232.6 lbs

Loss/Gain: +1.8 lbs

Total Loss/Gain: -1 lbs

I have also decided to join Weight Watchers again. I did well with their program when I was in High School…losing 60 pounds. But, now, I need to get back on it again. I need that accountability in my life.

My mom is going to do it with me as well which is nice. She wants to lose 20 pounds. Happy Day 1 of the challenge for me

Today I finally got back to running.  To be honest, it went really well!  I am still congested, but I couldn’t sit around the house any longer!  It was driving me nuts.  We just did the 2-1-2-1 again, which was easy.  I think it was the best we’ve done.  Tomorrow is the walk, and then Tuesday I will be on my own, so I need to get my playlist together by then!

Hope you’re all doing well!

So, the last couple of days I have been knocked off my horse.  I am sick…it would appear that I have the flu, at least according to the nurse who diagnosed me on the phone (because of the swine flu fear).  While my mother and I don’t think that  I have the flu I am forced to take it easy, and not go to school…which is a total joke because we are supposed to get our biology tests back!!

Anyway, I had to run out to campus earlier and drop off a paper for my internship course.  And, when I got back home, I found that I had not one but TWO packages waiting for me!  Guess what they are?

The first was my granola that I ordered from MixMyGranola.

And, the second was my amazing package from Vitalicious!  I couldn’t believe how much they sent me!

YUM!!

I know these probably shouldn’t have made my day, but they totally improved it.  Anyway, I am forced to stay home and relax, so I will get back to relaxing, but expect reviews soon for these two amazing products!

Back to running today, it went great!!  I was able to do the 2-1-2-1…so on and so on.  I am pretty happy.  We are still going to do the week 1 stuff for another week.  I am so thankful that I have my mom helping me with this.

So here is what I think went well on this run:

• The weather was perfect.  It was absolutely gorgeous today and amazing weather tonight.
• The pace was great.  I didn’t feel so out of breath as I did on Wednesday.
• We went a different path today, and I think I prefer it.

Now, the bad:

• It is annoying carrying my iPod touch around, perhaps I should invest in a stopwatch.
• I hurt my ankle…yuck.
• It had rained before we went out, leaves were everywhere and I worried I would fall.

To be honest, I am loving training.  :)
