WW Weigh-in Saturday – Edition 1

I lost 3 pounds!  Much to my surprise, I lost 3 pounds this week!  I guess the little things really do count!

I have been following the Weight Watchers program since March and to this date have lost 11 pounds.  Things are working slowly, but that’s how i’m planning it.

I wont lie and say that I don’t get frustrated by small numbers on the scale (or no numbers for that matter).  But I constantly remind myself, that this weight did not come on overnight and will not come off over night.

I went grocery shopping after my meeting today.  One of the great things about having a successful meeting and then grocery shopping thereafter, is that you are motivated in that moment to make the best choices possible.  So, I shopped the perimeter of the aisles, trying to stay away from the overly processed food.

May will be a busy month, with lots of travelling.  We have lots of graduation parties to attend and other events, so i’ll really have to be “on point” with my points.

Getting serious about good health

It is so easy to start diets and then stop them again. But the time comes in everyone’s life when one decides to stop starting and start sticking. I’ve come to the conclusion that the “Ex-Smoker’s” tagline — “Never Quit Quitting”, applies here somehow. We should never stop trying to reach our health goal. Because one day you might wake up and realize that it’s all too late.

Because what we need to realize (myself included) is that every day is a fresh new start. Every day marks a second chance to get things right. The day, your life, your health is all what you make of it.

This has occurred to me several times throughout my life but means much more now that I am a mom and a wife. Not that my family and friends before marriage meant so little but more or less because I realize now how much I mean to the people in my life and how much they mean to me.

Perhaps I am only speaking for myself here, but something has happened recently that made me realize that I am not as young and “immortal-feeling” as I once was. I realize that NOW is the time to take action. Because if I don’t, i’m going to wake up one morning and see that all of the chances I had to make a fresh start has gone up in smoke.

Unfortunately for us, we can’t get time back. We can only move forward. So here I am, moving forward and getting serious. Won’t you get serious with me?
