so walked a lot today - was at a horse show and refused to use the golf cart! This really helps and the more I move the better it feels - I am feeling more optimistic that I am going to make this happen. The food is much better - eating health "most" of the time - I am trying to get more structure into my life and get my life more organized.

Having a great week!

Something seems to have clicked..finally!! I am liking the WW online, the meetings are helpful for the most part but they become something else on the to do list and I found myself not wanting to go. Weighing in at home is not a problem and I can do it first thing when I wake up. Tracking everything really helps and I do like the online tool. I have a fridge full of healthy food plus a few little treats which I also think is important. I can still use some improvement in my exercise though. As someone who used to be pretty fit and into all kinds of activity it is hard to feel this out of shape. The thing is though it will only get worse if I don't do something about it. Not only that but I am fortunate to even be able to get out and walk or swim or whatever. So I went for a walk this am, in the rain even and it was great. So while I keep working on redeveloping healthy eating habits I need to keep trying to put physical activity back into my life. Onwards and downwards!!

Day 2 Yay!!

Well yesterday was a good day! Yay! Ate properly and even went for a swim. I had thoughts of walking to the pool but it was cold and rainy....then again, I had thoughts of just staying home so at least I went. It was actually a really good swim, I worked harder than I have recently. Today's plan includes heading downtown via public transit so I'll get a fair bit of walking in. I am also going to go check out a gym that has a $10/month special. I am still suspicious that this deal is going to turn out to be too good to be true but we will see. I have never been a gym person but I want to give it another try, and I am also interested in trying out some yoga and/or pilates classes. We'll see. At least I don't have to make a long term commitment to them. The challenging part of the day will come later when I am getting together with my friends. I think my plan is to eat before I go and to save a few point for a few nibbles but not a meal. I am also going to drive so I won't be able to drink.

The Challenge!!!

I accepted the challenge - I know my sis and I are competitive. So I think we need something to work towards to prove to ourselves we can do it. I do pretty well at work = but am starting to let the extra weight get in the way of decisions of things I do and people I see. I have to stop that "self talk" I am so much happier when I am thinner and/or in the process of losing weight. I think it is the sense of self control even more than the lower weight. Maybe I am a control freak??? who knew???

30 Day Challenge

So I challenged my sister to a 30 day 100% on track challenge. I'm still struggling with some ups and downs. I think overall I am doing better but better isn't going to get me there, I need more consistency. If I start to think about the big picture, it gets a bit overwhelming, so I am going to focus on the next 30 days and see where I am at at that point.

So starting today until Jun12th 100% following WW. I have a birthday int there and a few other challenges but that is how life goes and there is always the next event or holiday. If this is going to work, I need to work it no matter what is going on. So here we go. Day 1. So far so good lol. Planning a swim in a few hours, possible joining the gym tomorrow.

Over to you sis!
