I Am Not MIA!

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to let you know:  I am not MIA!

Our Weight Watchers meeting was cancelled last week due to the wonderful NY weather.  No, we did not go elsewhere to get weighed.

The week before, I was sick and we did not go to our meeting but we did go elsewhere and weigh in.  I lost 3 lbs for a total of 7.2 leaving me with wanting to lose 2.8 by the next meeting which was cancelled.  So, tomorrow is our next weigh in.  I am hoping , even though I haven't been weighed in almost 2 weeks, that I lost at least the 2.8 lbs.

Katrina, on the other hand, gained .4 lbs.  I told her it was no big deal and that she would easily lose the .4 within a day or 2.  I told her it could be water retention or muscle building up.

Please wish me luck for my next weigh in!

Week 3 Summary

Our 4th week. I gained a pound. I expected it though

 because my Grandmother passed away Saturday morning,

 no appetite that day, then pigged out Sunday (eating 

because I was upset) and struggled to get back on track the

 rest of the week. Good news... Katrina has lost 10 lbs in four

 weeks.

I have already planned and bought every thing we need for

 dinners next week.  

All but one meal will be a Weight Watchers recipe.  Yes, I will

share recipes as I make the meals!

There are many things that can throw us off track but the key

 is getting right back on track quickly!

Below are some examples of what can throw you off and how

to get back on.

A death in the family, family celebrations, stress, a move, a promotion, or a change in schedule can throw you or anyone else off track.
  1)  Don't beat yourself up.  You did not fail you just tripped  and need to get back on track!
  2) Get to a Meeting or a Weight-loss Pal - Do these things quickly so you can figure what is causing you to overeat. Plan your next  step on your journey.
  3) Go to Weight Watchers.com's message boards, where you can find encouragement 24/7/365.  Post a thread about what you are going through. Read the boards to find a similar story to yours. Chat...you will find you are not alone. This will all help you get re-inspired.
  4) Work It Out -  Go for a walk and enjoy nature. Also, plan for a bit more exercise over the next
couple of weeks – but not too much.
  5) Remember and Re-commit - Get back to tracking and self-monitoring. Try following the Weight Watchers meal plans for a couple of days. Remind yourself of your goals and your "why". Take full responsibility for the mistake and getting back on track. Think about where you want to be in a week, month or year and get yourself back to a structured plan.
  6) Start small. Breaking down a sizable goal into mini-goals can make the process of losing weight more manageable. Each small step will get you to your goal!

I don't think there's any one specific way to get back on track. You have to want to do it. Commit to tracking everything you eat and building up your workout routine.

The Beginning

Introduction

I joined Weight Watchers on January 7, 2016.  I am the heaviest I have ever been and I hate it.  My ah-ha moment was when my clothes started feeling really tight and then when I went to the Doctor and saw what I weighed.  I am so disgusted with myself.  I am 105 lbs overweight.  

So, anyway, my daughter, 16 years old, is also very overweight and she decided she wanted to do Weight Watchers with me.  

I am going to blog about our journey and also share Weight Watchers recipes.
