No Rain

I am so glad that there has been no rain lately. YEA! no more getting soaked on my walks. I am currently working on speeding up my walking but doing the same distance. 2 miles everyday on my lunch breaks. That works out to be 10 miles a week...not bad. I plan on adding in two to three days of Jazzercise a week to that but haven't gotten off work early enough yet. Tuesdays and thursdays though they have a later start to class...there I go there's my two days. WHAT'S MY PROBLEM???

Sammy I am glad to hear that you are still loving WW.

Christine I am sorry to hear that you guys are still burried under snow!

Day 4 and I'm feeling good

Hello ladies here is an update! It is currently day 4 on Weight Watchers and I am feeling good. I am learning a lot of new things and I would love to share them with you girls. I have been sticking to my points like crazy. The great part is I have been eating food that I love. A cookie, frozen yogurt, popcorn from target, and a McDonalds hamburger. I'm happy haha. It's a cool little system and they have a mini facebook online so you meet people and gain a support group. Molly and Christine you are of course my biggest and best support group :)

As far as my activity I am still walking and my mom is even joining me! I also went swimming for the first time since my surgery. I spent an hour using the kick board and a noodle to do laps at the YMCA. I was exhausted after! I had to take a nap. haha So I am going to try swimming two days out of the week and I am going to continue walking. So far I feel good but I am waiting for that moment when something happens and I am ready to throw in the towel...I think that is when I really know if WW is for me. However I think with you ladies here to support me it won't hurt to bad and I will get over it. <3

Okay so one of the great tips I learned was from an article they had about using the scale. It says to be persistent so if you weigh yourself in the morning but then weigh yourself in the afternoon you will get numbers you aren't happy with. The main thing is to be persistent and consider the time of day and what you are wearing every time you weigh in. I have been known to scale hop haha. Also in the article I read was this great quote to remember!
"Weighing in is important it gives you a measure of accountability. But it is only one measure of your success."

Something to think about right? So just remember don't get to strung up on the numbers focus on your other successes! I'm ready to write that quote on a poster board or something and put it up by the scale. haha

How are you guys doing so far?

Groundhogs Day

Christine- when I saw on the news that the groundhog didn't see his shadow I thought of you. Here's to wishing you an early spring!!! I know you need it over there. Fun Fact: since 1887 the groundhog has only not seen his shadow 16 times. Wow!


I was able to walk on my lunch break today and I finally remembered to figure my distance. I am walking two miles. Not bad huh? I make it in half hour. If I can do this four or five days a week plus make it to jazzercise or shred it two to three times a week then I will be ready to live it up in a one-piece swim suit by June. I hope!
