One Month...

It's been a month since I joined WW again. I just wanted to add a little update here. I have been keeping track of my pts at WW online so haven't been adding posts here. 

Last week I weighed in on Friday and was 126.4 :-) However, I've already put a pound of that back on, and after book club tonight, may well gain another pound putting me back to where I was two weeks ago?!!  I took measurements today too. I decided to just do my bust, waist, thighs. Honestly I don't care what my thighs or upper arm measurements are, they've never been very big anyway. It's my waist I'm concerned about, I just can't seem to get any inches off it and my belly is forever 'big/bloated'!!! I think I might need to cut out some carbs for a few days. Although saying that, I just made a pot of steel cut oats yesterday and planned on eating them for breakfast over the next few days!! I will still eat them (never tried them before and wanted to give them a go) and just not have carbs with lunch or dinner.

Bust: 37"
Waist: 33 1/2" !!!
Hips: 37"

I've started back at the gym again, but not going as consistently as I was before. I went on Monday and here we are Thursday and I haven't been back since. I have done some dvd's at home though. I am just trying to get some stuff done in the house as I feel like I'm forever behind on laundry and chores because I go to the gym every day. My goal was to go to the gym Mon, Wed, Fri, but I missed yesterday. I will go tomorrow and I'll do a dvd today. Yesterday I did Leslie Sansone's Pilates dvd. 

Other than that, not much else to report. I'm just keeping on with the healthy eating, I don't drink wine during the week, I'm tracking my pts at the weekend too - at least I'm not gaining. It will all pay off in the end!!

Arghhhhhhh!!!!!

I'm in shock! Well, I don't know why I'm shocked, I'm not really. I have gained..... wait for it, 6lb since December!!!!  As of this morning I weighed 130.6lb! I think that is my heaviest EVER!  It has to stop today. I signed up for Weight Watchers online again. I just need some GOOD motivation, and just eating on my own trying to count calories is not working right now. 

I was doing so good before Christmas with going to the gym and eating right. Then I got sick with a cold just before Christmas, so I missed the gym for about 2 weeks! Then of course Christmas came, the chocolates and candy, cocktails, wine etc all came too. . . . and still missing the gym, it's no wonder I kept gaining. Then I got sick a couple of weeks ago with allergies (cedar fever) and am currently on antibiotics and steroids. Still missed the gym most days other than probably two days over the past 2 weeks.  

So, I just wanted to post an update (so I can look back here at some point and see where I was at and what I was doing at the beginning of the year) so I can track my progress. I thought I didn't want to count points as it seemed easier to count calories, but I've decided counting points is easy too, and being online with the new WW 2012 program seemed pretty motivating too.

Hoping to get to the gym today with my friend/neighbor. I'll try to post at least once a week in here with progress.
