5月30日 Weighty IssuesSo I have been avoiding writing here the last few days. Partly because the weather has been so nice but mostly because I have to report that I gained a pound. The added pound is not so painful as is the aftermath. For some reason I seem to have let everything go to hell in a hand basket so to speak. Maybe it is the heat or maybe it is pure laziness. I can't put my finger on it but I better get a handle on it soon. I have been off for the last two days on vacation. The hubby was supposed to be filming Canada's Worst Driver but they have the schedule all messed up and now we are not even sure he will get his 2 seconds of glory in television land. I guess that is television for ya. He is a little upset as he was really looking forward to it. He would be one of the driving instructors in the car. He had some crazy stories to tell about the candidates that he did take out in the car though. One guy actually brought driving gloves with him...lol. Hublet was teaching them a few things and one of those things was how to park close to the curb. Driving glove guy pulled over and stopped and hublet opens the car door to check the distance. He tells the guy that he needs to redo it as he is too far away. Driving glove guy then informs hublet that he is comfortable with the space he has left and does not think he needs to redo. Hublet is patient after many years of doing this and kindly tells Driving glove guy that it is good that he feels comfortable but unfortunately the other drivers on the road would not think too kindly of him for parking in the middle of the road...lol.
That was totally off topic and most likely a diversion tactic but I wanted to add a little humour to a not so humourous blog.
I solemnly promise to get back on program tomorrow! The poor scales at weight watchers will be breaking if I keep coming in and adding more weight to them every week!
The heat has been unbearable here and I have not been out for a walk or done anything. We don't have A/C so any amount of moving around only heats the house up. I did however get out on Saturday morning for a 15 minute jaunt before weigh in and then went for an hour walk when I got home. I did start off rather impressively with my new week but everything went down hill from there. I decided I had better get on here and face the music as I am sure some of the lovely people who have been visiting me and leaving such thoughtful comments were waiting for an update. So there you have it.
On a brighter note, I went and bought a pair of shorts today. This is somewhat of a miracle actually because I have not worn shorts since high school. They are not short, shorts. They do come to just above the knee. I have the ugliest legs around. I was a kid who constantly was banging into things and I have the scars to prove it. Even today when a bug bites me, I get a scar. I figured at my age I better stop worrying about such things. I have a great Hublet and he has been asking me for years to buy shorts so I finally did and I am wearing them right now. I have to admit, I feel pretty cool.
I will do better, I promise.
Cheers!
*moe* 5月23日 Weigh Day"Don't Let a Lapse Turn Into a Collapse"
Well this week was another good weigh in. I was down another 1.2 lbs. Unfortunately the long weekend and beer did not show kindly on the scales this morning so I have to be very careful and diligent with watching what I eat for the rest of the week. I fear I will be up next Saturday as I was up this morning. Don't you just hate long weekends...lol. I am good 90% of the time, it's just that 10% that gets me. One more week of toting the Little Bootsie girl with me and I will be able to attend the meetings again. I look forward to bringing the knowledge that I gain there and sharing it with all of you who come here to visit.
Last week was not a great walking week as the weather was not very co-operative. I only got out two times. We have been sick with colds as well so eating and exercising have not been in the fore front where they should be. Today was a beautiful day but I came home from work early and went to bed for a couple of hours to try and shake this cold.
Well I had a little more success with the increase with my water intake but it took a turn for the worse this past weekend when I substituted it with beer...lol. I know better and it is totally my own fault if I pay the price this week. Tomorrow is another day. I refuse to beat myself up over it. Moving forward is the best way to combat the backslide.
On a brighter note I have been able to wear clothes that have fit better and some of our friends were telling me I was hot...lol. I am soooo not use to that but I could get used to it....(wink wink)
Happy weight loss to all my friends!
Cheers!
*moe* 5月13日 Getting closer!Today was weigh day. I didn't dread going even though my body decided to be my very own personal bloatation device ...ugh. I have had a good week. Rain and sniffles made walking not so friendly. I did manage to get in two decent walks. I have been walking for 30 to 35 minutes when I go but have been having to add extra distance as I am getting a little faster all the time.
I lost another 1.2 lbs this week bringing the total to 85.6 lbs. I got my gold star sticker for my book. Usually you would get this after class but since I had little miss busy body with me I was unable to stay for class.
I am the worst water drinker on the face of the planet. I don't know how that happened because I used to be able to get all my water in every day. My goal this week is to get back on the water wagon.
Well that's all for me.
Cheers!
*moe* 5月10日 Weigh Day!Okay so I am really late entering this...lol I started it on Sunday but the wee baby girl turned into a booger machine and I haven't had much time to do much but cuddle and wipe noses. So here it is:
Saturday is chub club weigh day in my house, so the Bootsie girl and I headed out to Weight Watchers together yesterday morning. Her Daddy is working for the next four Saturdays so it is unlikely I will be able to put any interesting "here's what I learned in class today" blogs on here! It was okay when the baby was still a baby and in a carry on car seat but now she is mobile disaster waiting to happen...lol I want to touch everything and I want to touch as many things as fast as I can before the Moemy (she doesn't say mommy likely because she hears everyone calling me moe) can catch me! Trying to get her to sit still during a class would cause an unnecessary disruption.
Getting weighed was an interesting feat in itself. They said ok "hurry, you get on and we will watch her!" After a few tries at that I was successfully weighed and was overjoyed to find out that I was down another 1.6 lbs. That brings the total to 84.4 lbs. Just .6 shy of getting a gold star sticker! Maybe next week!
We had a great walking week. We went four at least a half hour on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday we went and did a little shopping but I parked so that aI had a good distance to walk to get to the store. Not much really but the effort certainly should count for something...lol.
I was chatting with my friend Jess online and we were discussing the aftermath of childbirth and what it does to your body. I copied the conversation as we do tend to get a little silly and I thought you might just get a kick out of it too.
Moe says: i got two great bras that get the breastages right up there.
Moe says: childbirth is hard on the old boobalas Jess says: lol Moe says: at least it is at my age. Jess says: ha....it is at any age...trust me lol Moe says: and since I lost weight they are more like teats. Jess says: well...a sacrifice has to be made somewhere lol Moe says: when i bend over nekkid there is an obvious similarity between myself and Bessie the cow. Moe says: at least i will look good with clothes on. Jess says: omg thats what i tell chris too...they sort of got this stretch and get skinny thing...no more bending over w/out a bra on for me i tell ya
So there it is, a little success, a little weight humour and I am off to get rid of those.6 lbs this week. I want my gold star dammit!
Wishing everyone great success this week!

4月30日 Weight Watchers MeetingI started back to W.W. last week after a fairly long hiatus...like since November 26th! I was pleased to find out that not only had I kept off the wieght I had already lost but I was down an additional 1.4 lbs from my last weigh in back in November. Bravo for me! Then I started thinking about how I could possibly have been at goal weight by now had I continued going to my weekly weigh ins. You see paying the money to go and have someone tell you that you have lost or gained weight seems to trigger some kind of accountability mechanism in my brain and it makes me concentrate just a little bit harder on staying on track. So I figure I have the maintenance part of the program all figured out as I was able to stay within the required 2 lbs window that is applicable once you reach lifetime member status.
So today was weigh in day and I was pleasantly surprised to find the the weighing Gods were shining on me this morning. I was down another 1.4 lbs bringing my weight loss total to 82.8 lbs.
The obvious secret to success with W.W. is writing down everything that you shove into your gob. I wrote everything down this week and I lost. Works for me! The whole point is to not only keep track of your points but also to ensure that you are eating enough points. If you do not eat your daily requirement, you will not lose. For some darn reason the human body thinks that you are starving it and decides to hang onto every little thing you put in your mouth if you are not eating enough. And of course, the obvious, not eating way too many points can be monitored by logging your grub. I find that the people who don't write down their daily points are the ones crying the blues at the scales because they have not lost anything. Whenever I reach a milestone and get my two seconds of glory to speak in front of the class, that is the one thing that I tell them is so very important.
I do the flex plan where you count your points. That Core plan just freaks me out. You don't have to count your points but you can only eat certain food items. I just think it would leave me way too much room to overeat! What plan are you following?
Today I decided I was going to stay for the meeting. I generally fly in there willy nilly at the last minute just before they are ready to lock the doors...lol. I forgot what great support can be found in attending the actual meeting. Today the leader was discussing how the fives senses affect our eating. The whole thing was interesting and she wrapped it up nicely by introducing the most important sense, that being common sense. We all have common sense and know what we should and should not be putting in our mouth if we are trying to lose weight. She used an example of trying some food and finding that it is distasteful, but instead of not having any more we find it necessary to try another just to confirm it and then another and another...lol. Common sense tells us not to but for some reason we feel the need. She also said something else that I thought was cute. She talked about how when we (as dieters) are put into a social atmosphere like a wedding or party we walk in the door with good intentions. She described them as being similar to that of the angel and devil you have sitting on either shoulder...lol. We all go into it with good intentions but tell that little bugger to take a hike once we get through the door...lol. We all have the common sense but we forget to exercise our right to use it just when we need it the most!
Moving forward, I am not the best at exercising. In fact I hate it if the truth be told. I have to find something that I like that doesn't make me feel like it is a chore. Today I made the decison to take my daughter for a walk. I try to do this a few days a week. Not long ones, maybe about 25 minutes or so. Today, in my infinite wisdom (likely because I was pumped from losing weight) I decided to take the longer walk around the whole concession. It is about 4.3 kms. I went the easy way down the hill first because common sense told me that I would never make it up that hill if I hit it at the end of the walk....lol. Unfortunately at the bottom of that hill there is another small hill that I could not avoid. I trudged up it pushing the baby carriage and it was about that time that Bootsie girl decided to be a fussbudget. I couldn't find her soother to pop in her mouth and I was thinking to myself, I can't go back now I will never make it up that hill. I had my cell phone with me so I called the hublet to tell him I forgot her soother, thinking to myself that I could get him to get in the car and either bring it to me or even better pick us up so that I didn't have to walk up that hill. As luck would have it, it was attached to the outside of her jacket and tucked under her arm as her father so kindly told me. Damn! So I had already made the commitment so I trudged forward. The rest of the walk was on flat ground so it was not too bad other then the length of the it! I even got a little resistance training in as well. I resisted the urge to leave that stroller on the side of the road to make my walk home easier! I would have gone back to get her, honest!
Well that's it for me today.
