The upside of all of this is, that I am still thinking about what I eat and how it would work with Weight Watchers. Now, I'm not saying I've been perfect, but I have been maintaining the weight that I have lost, and that is all I could ask of myself these last couple weeks. I did not go to a meeting last week and I'm sorry about that, but at the same time, I am ok with it. I recognized that I needed to be home with my family and we needed to have that normalcy for that night. I thought about going another night, but I didn't.
Luckily, last week's theme was not how to stay on plan during the weekends and holidays. That is this week's message and I will be right there front and center, because weekends are by far my hardest time. Not only am I home or even out and about, but I have 2 other people's needs I need to take into account and I feel bad if I make them eat on plan. Sounds silly for many reasons. Why wouldn't I want my family to eat healthy? Why don't I feel that I am important enough to make my needs a priority? I can't wait until Tuesday to hear how others make it through the weekends!
Let's see, I'm proud that I am 10lbs down, but realistic that I am looking to still lose another 60. I saw a scrapbooking friend on the wall at Weight Watchers and she lost 70lbs. She is a motivator to me. I can't wait to hear her story next week at our crop! I can use all the tips I can get. One thing I know I need to work on is my exercising. I would like to keep working on walking after I get off work. I just have to keep myself from sitting down. I keep sitting down and then not getting back up. Not acceptable! I have made an effort to make sure that Lucas gets to do something more than just hang out at home after school, but I need to make myself a priority. I am important. I AM important!
On another note at home, I am working to clear out the clutter and to make a daily cleaning list that I can keep up with. Joe and I both agree that our stress levels would decrease if we could just keep things clean. Well this is more of a Joe thing, but I do agree. I am ok living messy, but when everything is clean I do feel proud and as if I'm allowed to relax. Not to say that when the house is messy I don't sit on my butt, but I think about all of the things that I should be doing instead of actually just relaxing. I get real proud of myself and even motivated to work harder once I just DO. If I sit all I want to do is sit.
Ok, It's clear I don't know how to make post that is very focused. My goal this week is to walk after work, AND (that's right, 2 goals) to post every day this week. I am going to immerse myself in my weight loss journey so I can get my focus back and kick some weight loss ASS!
Losing it,
Lisa
