Monday Weigh-In, Week 18

I want to start off this week by thanking you guys. Because I don't go to Weight Watchers meetings, I find that I don't have the same accountability as a regular member.

But on weeks like this, where I have fallen completely off the rails, I know that I still have to report to you guys and face up to my actions (or inaction, as the case may be).

I'd also like to thank the few of you who are rocking Weight Watchers with me. We all have our on weeks, our off weeks, our on weeks, our off months, our on weeks, our I'm so screwed this week. It's helpful to see some of the trials and tribulations that you go through and know I'm not alone (Robyn, you'll have to extend this message to the Chubby Couple, whom I don't know but have started following their blog).

Now here's the bad news. I was selfish and lazy all week long. I'm actually writing this post on Saturday in anticipation of at least a 2 lb gain (and likely more). I have been terrible. I've eaten out almost every day (thoughts on the connection between diet and finances on this another time), and because I know I'm not writing it down, I've indulged in lots of chocolate and other desserts (damn you valentines day!), burgers, fries, bigger portions, etc. All the while I had all my staples in the fridge. Now I have to make sure they don't spoil.

I digress. I guess this post has been more of a rant. I feel like I need to berate myself, otherwise weeks like this will become the norm, and it will probably take me way less time to get close to 200 lbs than the first time I did.

So, now it's Monday and you all can colour me floored. But I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth. I'm starting to track again today.

Beginning Weight (October 18, 2010): 183.4 lbs
Current Weight: 169.6
Week 18 Weight Loss/Gain -0.2 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 13.8 lbs

Monday Weigh-In, Week 17

Yes, I realize it's Wednesday. Did you miss me? I didn't have time to write anything up Monday, but I did manage to get on the scale.

Man! Let me tell you how easy it is to get off track. I haven't looked at my tracker in a week. And when you don't watch, it makes it really hard to take the proper care in making the right choices. You indulge in what you shouldn't and way too much of it. I really lucked out on Monday's weigh-in but know that if I keep it up I'll have a big gain this week.

Beginning Weight (October 18, 2010): 183.4 lbs
Current Weight: 169.8
Week 17 Weight Loss/Gain -0.2 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 13.2 lbs

The next couple of days will remain hard to track but instead of waiting until Monday to reform my habits, I will try to start again on the weekend.

(By the way, let me know you don't want to continue to be tagged. No offense will be taken. I am completely assuming that if you've commented before, you want to keep up with my progress.)


And lastly, a big congratulations to my oldest friend, Kat, who gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Thursday. I hope you're sleeping ok at the times when you can!

Monday Weigh-In, Week 16

This week ended up being a big fat fail. Now, I'm not calling me a big fat fail, just the week. Between rotten-egg Tuesday, Snowpocalypse (worse than Toronto, not as bad as Hamilton) Wednesday, Hey-look-you've-got-a-cold Thursday and-it's-getting-worse Friday through Sunday, I ended up only partaking in some activity on Monday and Saturday (thought my cold was on it's way out, probably just made it worse).
  That said, it's not the end of the world. My gain was minimal, and I hope to be clear of the tired, dizziness and phlegm in the next day or so.
  Beginning Weight (October 18, 2010): 183.4 lbs
Current Weight: 170.0
Week 16 Weight Loss/Gain: +0.8 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 13.4 lbs

No big goals for me this week, just to stay on track, get better and try and muster up some energy towards the end of the week to get active.

The best news for today is that it's Jenn's birthday! Have a great East Coast celebration, my dear!
