I just want to start out by saying that I love to read everyone’s blog’s it helps me to know that i’m not alone and sometimes I get a good chuckle and read on with a smile on my face….LOVE IT!!!    I have been consistent w/reading other’s blogs since I joined this site but inconsistant w/wrighting my own….I don’t alway’s leave comment’s on other’s blogs because  I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words which is also the reason why I don’t blog consistantly I just can’t seem to make my thoughts flow on paper or computer.   I have alway’s wished that I had the talent that Jo and Dawn have for wrighting and explaning or communicating  thier  thoughts and how they draw people into their blog’s just by the first sentence.  Since I don’t have that ability i’ll just do the best I know how. 

My weight loss is starting to happen again finally so I’m happy about that…For the last year I have struggled w/loosing and gaining the same 8lbs just 8lbs but this has run my life for exactly a year and i’m fed up and have decided to take control….I guess now I know how those people that are trying to loose thier last 10lbs to get to goal feel as I’ve hear that is the hardest part of weight loss. 

I have decided to take the bull by the horns and lead him and not the other way around….I want to see action happening I want to be in control and not the other way around….So to do this I have started walking again and so far have managed to walk three times this week one of which was a 5k marathon that I walked ( I love those!)  I have decided to really try and recognize my hunger signals and emotional feeling when I want to grab something to eat…And to stay as busy as possible so as not to get bored.  

Today is my birthday and I have already taken control by researching my dinner menu and seeing how I can cut pts…..My husband is making me stuffed game hen’s so I asked him to skin it for me before cooking it and by doing that i can have the whole thing for only 6pts and I will take the stuffing out and measure out 1cup full for myself that will be 4pts and to have lot’s of steamed veggies….What I’m most proud of today is this…I orgionally decided that I would have my husband only buy me a single size portion of cake at our local grocery store(which is more like 4 servings but at least not a whole cake) then I decided you know what I’m not going to do that I’m going to treat myself to  a weight watchers desert cake for only 4pts instead….I rock today!!!  lol    Anyhow this is where i’m starting and what a good feeling I have for my decisions.

Gotta go,

Hello fellow buddies,

I haven’t blogged in a long, long, long time so I felt it was time. 

I decided not to weigh in today at Weight Watcher’s because I just couldn’t take seeing the scale once again show either no loss or very little loss…I try to tell my self that the scale shouldn’t alter my attitude one way or the other but the simple truth is that it does.  I can’t say that i’m loosing inches instead of pounds because that’s not it either….I know where my problem’s start and end I know why I haven’t had any significant weight loss in the last half year…..I’m my own worst enemy….Home and weekends are where I fail every time I do so well at work only to get home and ruin it w/dinner or a night time snack….Weekends are when we eat out the most and I go in w/a good plan but fail to execute it once i order it’s like some crazy person takes over and order’s something totally fattening and unhealthy…..lol

So i’m still trucking along as I may give up for a day or for a couple of hours but I know to give up permantely will set me back to a place where I never want to go again.  I may not like it but I have finally accepted that this will be a life time issue for me and I can never ever give up for good.

I have decided to shake things up a bit…I have decided to do the Wendie Plan and I have started today….The super low day’s like today are going to be tough for me but boy I can’t wait for my super high day which is Saturday where I get 39pts to eat…..I also plan to start walking consistently again and to drink lot’s of water.
