Story of My Life
It probably sounds weird to say that one thinks to much but I do ~ it think about being organized ~ I think about exercising ~ even plan for it by buying dvd workouts (that have yet to be used) and equipment (also yet to be used) to help me in said exercise ~ I think about eating healthier (ok that one I do better with the action of) ~ I think about stupid things like cleaning ~ I think about calling people (friends, mom!) ~ I think about blogging ~ but I don't "get on with it!" ~ so frustrating!!
AND I do think about "getting on with it" ~ yup ~ I think!
So now it's time to stop thinking and do it ~ my birthday & doctor's appointment is this month ~ I should be easily into the 180's by now but am not ~ my own fault as I've thought about getting on the treadmill or bike ~ I've thought about journaling (yes, I haven't been very dedicated with that but am going to my WW meetings) ~ but despite all my thinking my body does not move ~ well, move it must! But, to encourage myself, I am still under 200 so despite all my thinking I've maintained what I've done so far ~ I think that's good, right?
ok ~ enough thinking ~ time to do!!

Stop Giving Up!
Something I realized yesterday ~ on January 1st I weighed (at home, first thing in morning, nekkid) 199 lbs ~ 2 weeks ago at WW I weighed 199.4 ~ uuuummm that's a whole month with basically no weight loss ~ why?? (NOTE: no meeting last week due to bad weather)
OK so I admit I've 'cheated' a bit ~ haven't been totally faithful to journaling my food ~ HAVE NOT EXERCISED! ~ so now I start over? Yes & no ~ I start over by being back to my dedicated self ~ by getting on the bike and/or treadmill ~ walking more in general ~ journaling every bite again ~ EVERY BITE!
I want to say tho that there is a positive to this ~ I haven't gained!! Yay!!
Tonight I go back to WW meeting ~ no matter what the scale says I will be positive . . . . positive I CAN do this!! And I will not give up!

If You Wait Until . . . .
This is something I posted on the WW website back when I first started WW ~ I thought about it after talking to Nanci last nite ~ so much going on in her life but she's still trying to journal and 'do it'! So let me share "If You Wait Until . . . . "
They say if you wait until you can afford to have a baby (children) you never will ~ so true ~ it's kinda the same thing when joining Weight Watchers or starting a healthy eating plan ~ if you wait until the time is right you will never do it.
I was doing that ~ waiting ~ week after week ~ trying to do it on my own without much success ~ so ten days ago I just did it ~ and what happened the first week . . . . out of town family here for 4 days and having dinner at John's mom's house ~ she's the Paula Deen of Colorado you know ~ but I was determined to keep on track ~ journaled everything ~ watched my portions the best I could and I did succeed.
So now we are on week 2 and what happens ~ let's see, Thursday I ate out because I had a lot of points left in the day (weigh in day, I ate very lite before going to meeting) ~ Friday was John's birthday so we went out to dinner ~ last nite we decided to go look at new cars when John got off work so we ended up eating at Village Inn (veggie omelet ~ yum!) ~ and tonite we are going to (of all places) Red Lobster with his family for his birthday ~ OMG! ~ I guess I should be glad I'm on WW because I am far more aware of what I'm eating instead of just ordering and eating all without a second thought ~ AND as I start week 3 I'll be going to visit my mom and there will be even more eating out ~ yikes!
But I will keep on journaling my food and doing my best ~ it's hard sometimes because I just want to splurge and eat it all ~ but I remind myself that not only will that not be good but that overstuffed feeling sucks too ~ and I know I have the extra points but already using them little by little (and that's how I should be using them right?) ~ so wish me luck ~ off now to clean and hopefully get in a good walk (activity points!) before dinner tonite ~ why Red Lobster?? Why?? Oh yea ~ it's HIS birthday ~ lol!

Random Ramblings
As I've said before I always have blog topics in my mind but 'forget' to write ~ or rather I find other things to do or sit here at the computer and get lost in doing other things.
Trying really hard to get exercise into my routine ~ FINALLY broke the 200 lb mark at WW ~ yay!!! And now the scale (at least the home scale) is slowly creeping down ~ exercise would definitely help and I have gotten on bike & treadmill this past week ~ in fact when I'm done here today I plan on getting on the bike for at least 20 minutes ~ why does the weight go on so easily but it's such a fight to get it off?
Nanci is doing great on her weight loss ~ over 5 lbs already! Yay Nanci!! And this is despite all the good, bad & ugly going on in her life right now ~ she's a strong woman ~ I truly admire her ~ through out it all she stays strong in her faith ~ need to follow her example!
Getting close to finishing Stephen King's 11/22/63 ~ such a great book ~ but I do wonder if I would feel that way if I was actually reading it instead of doing it on audiobook ~ probably ~ only a couple of hours left ~ can't wait to see how it ends!
John & I are starting to plan our 15th anniversary ~ it's trip time!! Thinking about Florida this year ~ DisneyWorld, SeaWorld, Altantic Ocean (which I have never seen) ~ anniversary isn't for 4 more months but I'm already so excited!!
And as my last little ramble ~ can you believe it's the last day of January already?!? What happened to the month??

Good Morning Monday
Monday comes way too soon ~ why oh why can't we have 4 day work weeks & 3 day weekends?
The weekend was good ~ absolutely nothing exciting about it ~ but then I also wasn't running around like crazy either ~ peaceful & mellow ~ just like it should be.
Saved a little over $30 with coupons & store discounts ~ I admit I got $10 of that for signing up for the Denver Post ~ they were giving away $10 gift cards for signing up for Saturday/Sunday papers ~ get $10 plus abundance of coupons ~ yea baby!
No exercise this weekend other than walking while shopping ~ hey it counts! But let me run now and get 20 minutes of bike time in before work ~ every little bit helps!
