That was a quick month!

February sure went by fast. We've had numerous snow falls, some over 8inches, but the nice thing is, it all seems to melt quickly here.

And here we are middle of March already!! I'm happy to say I've been doing well on WW, not on plan all the time, but most of the time, and I'm down to about 123 :-)

Still doing the filling & healthy technique, but not counting the things that aren't on the list, so I don't know for sure if I'm using all of my 49 weeklies or not. I'm still losing a little each week, sometimes just half a pound, but I mustn't be going over my WP's.

I bought the WW Activelink :) it was $39.99 and you pay a monthly fee of $5 for the online part. It tracks my activity throughout the day. My goal (which it set for me) is to try and earn 2 activity points each day. I've started doing some exercise DVDs at home this week and on other days I get about 2 AP's. On the weekend I got 0 because you have to get to your base line first before it starts giving you points. I don't do much at the weekend, so no surprise that I get 0.

Fast forward one year!

It's been exactly a year since I posted in here. Today is Februaury 19th. A quick little update.... We moved from TX to CO last summer, before we left I got totally off track with eating, stopped going to the gym all together and just got ready for the move. Once we got to Denver we rented a house and I have to be honest ate quite a bit of fast food for dinners rather than cook meals. We bought a house and moved in on August 29th, but didn't get our furniture for about 3 weeks. We bought necessities at Walmart, pans mainly so I could cook in the kitchen, airbeds, blankets etc. but I still wasn't back on track. 

 Finally in October (after spending the past few months in larger size jeans and feeling like nothing in my closet fit me, I joined WW again. This time though I went to a local meeting to join. wasn't exactly on track before Christmas but was happy to see that when I went to weigh in after the new year (hadn't been for a month) I had only gained .6lb over the holidays:-). Still meant my weight was about 130, so I still needed to get serious if I was ever to get that pesky 10lb off. 

 Over the past couple of weeks I've been really motivated to do better as some of my online knitting friends are joining WW too and setting themselves fitness goals etc. Last time I weighed in at my meeting I was 127. I'm going again tonight after having spent two weeks on e Simply Filling technique. I think I may have lost a couple of pounds, well see. Hope to start journaling here again. I always like to look back at my journals and see my progress, whether it's good or bad:)
