About 2 months in...

...and I am liking the new WW plan so far. About 12 lbs down which I am happy with however I am even happier that I am getting more and more back into regular activity. Nothing earth shattering but I have been doing a vriety of theings. Mostly walking, which I enjoy, but also swimming, using my elliptical and stationary bike and even snowshoeing. I am hoping to get the X-C skiis out soon as well, have to make use of all this snow.

I am in this for the long haul and it is going to take a while but if I can get back to my old active self then I think that will be half the battle.

Off to a bumpy restart

I had a great loss my first week (-7.8) followed by 2 gains (1 and 1.2) and a maintain. Oh well still down 5.6 in a month so I guess that is better than nothing. I did a weigh in at home this am and it looks like I am on track for a good week. We'll see. I am doing well getting back to exercise so that is something I am very happy with. I have done a bit more walking, went for a swim, used my home ex equip and this morning I even went snow shoeing. we'' see how the rest of the week goes.

New Year

Well 3 weeks in to rejoining WW. I am so glad we decided to rejoin before the holidays. Despite my 1 lb gain last week I am sure it could have been much worse had we not signed up for WW. Not sure how this week is going to look. The past few days have been pretty good but the few before that, not so much. I have not been weighing at home- sometimes it really messes with me. Much better to just focus on what I am doing day to day than on the scale.

I am still working on getting more active. I got a lovely HRM for Xmas so I am working on getting that figured out. My goal at the moment is to try to exercise at least 10 mins per day. Not too lofty and definitely achieveable as I try to work my way back into a more active lifestyle.

Morning walks three days in a row...

...and what a coincidence I have been within points those three days too. I think for me exercise is essential.

Struggling but still trying at least.......

Still at it but I have been having a problem where I do really well all day long and then around 7:30-8 I start getting hungry and it all goes out the window. It is so annoying. I'm not entirely sure what I am doing wrong, I am following WW, having snacks, meeting the healthy guidelines but I truly get hungry- uggh

So I am going to try a few different things to see if I can stop this. Today I am increasing protein, fats and almost no carbs, what I did have was whole wheat pasta- no simple carbs today at all. I will try that for a few days and see how it goes.

Ok so weigh in last week didn't go so well. I was back up to where I started more than a year ago. Uggghhhh. Oh well it is what it is. Unfortunately I let it turn into a bad week which doesn't help anything. well back on track today- it has been a good day so I guess I can say at least it was only a week. However I think it may be wise to stay away from the scale for the next few weeks. I still think it is important in terms of knowing what I am doing is working but I think for the sh0t term it is better for me to wait. Perhaps I will try weighing in once a month, on the first of the month.

well all set for another month. have some soup cooking on the stove, plans to hit the market on Tues and swimming Tues/Thurs and Sat next week.

7/81

Back from another awesome swim. I got the best compliment ever. the coach told me I had a nice easy, relaxed looking butterfly....on the 2nd length of a 50 even! Whoo hoo even though I was totally dying ha ha. It was a good workout again. Nice combination of swimming/hard swimming and stroke work. I was definitely tired at the end as was everyone else so that made me feel good too. And I have to say I do like the extra activity points I can earn with a 1.5 hour work out.

Food wise it has been a good day as well. Within points and once I have some fruit and yogurt as a night time snack I will have met my healthy guidelines for the day.

My weigh in day is tomorrow. I have been avoiding the scale so I have no idea what it will say or if it is up or down from last week. But that is OK. It can be my new starting point and what is more important is what I do every day and last week has been a good week. So week 1 successfully under my belt. Yay!!
