will this be my week??

i sure hope so. after 2 very "off" weeks, i'm hoping for a comeback this coming week. last week, we spent 5 days out of town (meaning i had to miss 2 days of work) for a funeral. i headed back to work on monday only to leave at 3 with a fever of 100*. tuesday, wednesday, thursday = fever, fever, fever (at one point, it was 102*)....not to mention severe body aches, headache, crazy coughing, and head congestion. i had the flu. today is friday, day 4 missed of work this week....my fever has finally broken, but my cough is enough to drive everyone out of the room. so, needless to say, no weight watchers last week, no weight watchers this week. *sigh* any motivation for "getting back on the wagon" will be much appreciated. until then, stay healthy. ~woo

Anybody else hungry??

i am. nobody tells you how hard week 2 is. i LOVED this whole WW thing last week....and want to EAT IT this week ;-) literally. eat everything. days 1 and 2 this week were the worst. i blew half of my bonus points in those 2 days. go me. this week i don't care. i don't want to do it anymore. but, alas, i will. i need to do it. inside, i know i really want to do it. my goal has been to be "more active"...i've only gone on 2 walks in 4 days. i guess i need to better quantify "more".

i think i can...
i think i can...
i think i can...

i will.

Go me!! ;-)

You know it's a good day in WW land when you can eat 3 full meals (feeling completely satisfied after each one) AND still have enough points for TCBY's white chocolate macadamia (no worries...fat free, no sugar added) in a small waffle cone! WOOO! :-D

Day Four....Going strong?

Ok, so I had a minor setback. I didn't start as early as I had planned. My meeting, instead of last Monday, ended up being last Thursday. What does that mean? Today is not my weigh day. Today is not my second meeting. Today is simply Day 4. How am I doing? So far, I've used 8 of my weekly points (should I mention, all in one day??). Yeah, ok. So, I went to brunch with the girls on Saturday and couldn't pass up my usual mimosa ;) But I only had one!! AND THEN....starbucks....*sigh*....I thought I was doing something good when I ordered the "skinny" version of my beloved pumpkin spice latte. Until I get home and check their website for nutrition info (ps..I'm getting pretty good at that!), that is, when I realize.....brace yourself....5 POINTS!!! ugh. Lesson learned....Now, I just can't wait for my first weigh-in. I shall keep you posted. I'll leave you with two quotes that resonated in my first meeting...

*Noting tastes as good as "thin" feels"
*Food didn't cause the problem, so it's not going to fix it." (huh. smart people.) ~Woo

wait....weight?

much of america struggles with weight issues. myself included. i'm not what you would call "fat", "obese", or "lard-a**".....just "pleasantly soft and squishy". i adopted that quote many years ago, back in high school, in fact (a whopping 11 years ago). although, in high school, i was not anywhere near the weight i am currently displaying (does anyone ever appreciate it when they are thin??). my problem? motivation. what am i going to do about it? well, fast food and inactivity aren't helping (darn it). instead, i just joined weight watchers *gulp*. my first meeting? tomorrow. my goal? twenty pounds. can i do it? i'll keep you posted. until then... pointers/suggestions/feedback are encouraged ;-) ~woo

a new woo...

and so it begins....
