Weight Watchers

I joined Weight Watchers again last Saturday... and according to them, I lost a whole pound between January and last Saturday.. woohoo, not. So maybe Weight Watchers will help me out. I'll let you know. I've done pretty good so far this week. I hope to continue. =)

It's been 3 weeks.. but I'm finally down again!

137.6!

I know I haven't posted in a while. But I know the last 2 Fridays my weight was going up from my last weigh-in, which was 138.8.

This week I tried something different. This won't be a long term thing, but I did Slim Fast this week. I have been having the biggest problem sticking to healthy eating. I have enjoyed going to the gym, but I can't seem to control my food intake.

Slim Fast is different than it used to be. You actually incorporate more than just a shake for breakfast & lunch & then a sensible dinner. I've actually been eating more fruits this week than I normally do. But this is just helping me get my head wrapped around the calorie intake I need to be eating to lose weight. I'm not going below 1200, because I know you're not supposed to and Slim Fast tells you not to as well. And if I'm hungry I will have a small snack.

So I just wanted to share. It feels great getting farther away from the 140 mark. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Friday Weigh-In

Well I weighed myself this morning and I was 138.8. I don't remember what my last weigh-in on here was, but I don't think I'm that far off from it.

I went to the gym today and I enjoyed it. I was definitely sweating! I'm also glad that I have someone to go with. That makes it so much more fun I guess you would say. I don't really feel like I'm walking around aimlessly. I'm looking forward to going tomorrow as well!! YAY! Happy weekend!

I've been bad..

I haven't blogged since April 23rd!! I should be ashamed. I have not been doing very well on the weight loss journey. I haven't been writing down what I have been putting in my mouth. Last week I didn't exercise at all. I haven't even posted my weight in a few weeks...

BUT!!!! The last 2 days I have written down what I've eaten, along with the Points. And I have stuck to my Points. I went walking yesterday. And today I joined the gym. Now, I have joined lots of gyms in my lifetime... but today I actually joined with a couple of people; my walking buddy & my fiancée. So now I actually have people to work out with.

Now, maybe I will get in gear and lose some weight! I have 4 months and 21 days until my 30th birthday (yikes!) and 7 months and 21 days until my wedding. =)

Talk about motivation..

Well I know I write the blog for motivation.. but now I have some more. I bought my wedding dress today!! And I had to buy it off the rack because it was a discontinued dress. I did try on several. Some were really pretty, some just looked funny on me or swallowed me up since I'm so short. But the dress I chose is the one that made me feel the most pretty and even slim. =) Since I bought it off the rack it is a little snug. So with that being said, I definitely have to keep up with the working out and watching what I eat. I've already informed my walking partner that we must continue and she said "we will walk like crazy." So I'm excited. We even got 25% off since we bought it off the rack. So yay! I do recommend the Bridal Boutique and Tux Shoppe in downtown Prattville. I assumed since it was a small shop that it would be pricey, but the prices were pretty reasonable. Most of the dresses I tried on were pretty much under $500. And my dress was a good bit less than that. So I just wanted to share. I kind of feel like my blogging is turning into weight loss/wedding, but I suppose that's alright. =)

Much Better Weigh-In

Today's weigh-in was 138.2! So that is a pound down from last week!!

The exercising is definitely helping! I am trying to watch what I eat, but I'm also trying not to stress out about it, because that usually makes me want it more.

Hope everyone has a blessed Easter!
