I just realised I missed week 2's update, no worries I'll take care of it with week 3 now that I'm halfway through week 4! Better late than never I always (sometimes) say.
So, what happened in week 2? Well, I'll tell ya. Not much. I switched my weigh-in to Thursday night so I could attend with a friend (I'm a poet too!) and well as I suspected would happen I was up .4lbs. This is not too concerning because it is evening weight and two days earlier than my normal weigh-in. When I weighed myself on my lovely new scale that does everything I was down another few pounds ending week 2 at a loss of 7.4lbs. I did manage a little exercise that week but alas, not my favourite thing to do so avoidance seems to work its way into my routine. I did however start taking vitamins on a regular basis so that's something, right?
Week three, a little disappointing but in defence it was a weird week. My son was off school all week sick and when I'm faced with stressful situations I stop eating, which is a bad thing. How's that? You ask. Well, it slows the metabolism. I am currently eating small amounts every couple of hours, a constant stream of food (healthy, vegetable type food) is entering my body and this keeps my metabolism going, when I stop so does it and it's noticeable. I felt like crap during week 3 and when I weighed-in on Saturday (yup, back to Saturday morning) I was only down 1.2lbs BOOOO! My hope was to loose 2lbs a week, but without exercise which I managed to avoid all through week three what did I expect? My biggest challenge I think this week was drinking water. I loath water it's friggin boring. I tried it with lemon, I tried it with cucumber and finally made it palatable with Tetley Infusions, which are fine but I didn't dare check to see how many points they're worth, guess I should though if I'm going to continue using them.
As week 4 winds up I know there have been some set backs. Like the giant box of chocolates that found their way into my home, I had two. Then there was taking my son out for dinner and having the richest creamiest item on the menu of which I only ate a third, knowing this wouldn't end well if I indulged. Will power is something I don't struggle with. Oh, right the chocolate, ya, I had some extra points at the end of the day so I ate chocolate. Not a habit I'm willing to make though.
On the bright side, my clothes are fitting loosely and it's been noticed. One of my co-workers who recalls my first go round with WW couldn't believe he could see a difference right away. I think it's because I'm tall, and I loose weight in a strange way, at least I think it's strange. It seems I loose from the top down, like it's being pulled away by gravity. I've heard that you loose first where you gained last. For me that would be my extremities and upper body. I'm pear shaped so the butt, thighs and stomach are where I hold most of my weight. Once I start loosing though, the fat seems to soften first and then dissipate. I go through a series of shape changes as I'm loosing and it's frustrating because my clothes fit weird as this is happening, then they just don't fit at all, which is a good thing.
Well, that's it for my update. If there is anyone in the Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody area interested in trying out WeighWatchers please feel free to send me a message. Once you figure out how to work the program I assure you it works and you won't starve to death and you can use your own food. There is nothing you can't do that you set your mind to. Except for one thing, men can't have babies, no matter how hard you try. (A little humour for today) Then again, there is the poo baby I'm sure some men have given birth too...EEEWWWWEEEE I know sorry.
