Up 1.5. You know, I REALLY don't like writing these posts when I have to report a gain. It sucks. Lots. But it's MY FAULT. Grrrr. I've given myself a pep talk and I promise not to be bitter because really there's no reason to be bitter when you know you've had one too many pieces of cheesecake.

Down 0.8 this week which is good because I didn't really re-focus until this past weekend. I'm worried about the next weigh-in only because I'm traveling. And eating right while traveling is so flippin hard. But the upside is I get to finally meet IRL - Kirsten, Brooke and Christie!!!! YAY!!!!! I'll be chillin with Brooke's hubby on Sunday cheering them on at the Disney Marathon. So proud of those girls and cannot wait to hug them!

i'm in, i'm in...

{BIG SIGH} What. A. Week. As if 2010 wasn't grumpy enough with me it definitely went out with a bang. I did let the last few weeks derail me more than I should but I am better now. My scale has been creeping upwards but no more! I am in for the Power of One challenge over at the Sisterhood and it's all about me and my needs. I'm going to be selfish. Completely, totally selfish.



My stats for the new challenge (as of Wednesday the 29th, anyway):
Challenge Starting Weight: 198.1
Change This Week: +2.3 (that's a lot of cookies and stress eating, yo)
Total Pounds Gone since 9-8-2010: 5.5

My healthy living goals for this challenge:

• To continue working towards not allowing circumstances to derail me. I'm getting better, I think, but it's definitely a work in progress.
• Continue to attend Weight Watchers meetings weekly (I skipped the last few weeks). I like the meetings not so much for accountability (that's what I have all you wonderful peeps for) but for the information, sharing of tips and ideas, etc.
• Water. I used to be so good at this. It definitely needs to become a priority again.
• Walking. I'm going to start walking again. I won't even attempt running with the state my back is in; however, I will either walk outside when it's nice, pop in a Leslie Sansone walking DVD or hit the treadmill. I must. (Although I will be kinda sad when the Daily Mile # over on the right doesn't read 69 miles anymore...that was for Bari and Bekki *grin*).

And there it is. I'm a little late to the game this week seeing as it's almost 10 PM on Saturday night but I will fill up my water bottle, put it in the fridge and get my booty in gear.

G'night all!
