In my vocabulary anyway...
So as you all know, because I've stuffed it down your throats, I'm doing the Weight Watchers thing to loose weight. To date I'm down 22.8lbs! Yeah me! But there is a component to this process I've avoided like the plague! Exercise! Hate it! Guess I'm lazy at heart!
I have a busy life, mostly spent attending to my teens. I also work full time and only have Saturday and Sunday to do my things, which usually ends up being their things so when would I exercise anyway? OK maybe I could squeeze something in after work between rushing home to make dinner then rushing back out to get to the variously required events my kids are involved in, ya, maybe I could do something (said with rolling eyes) but I don't. Partly the time constraints, partly the crappy weather, partly I HATE exercise (did I say that already?) I think you get the point.
I have a theory. Wanna hear it? No? Too bad, gonna tell ya anyway!
I need my weight loss to be the result of my changing my eating habits and not as a result of exercising along with this change. I did that the last time and when I stopped as I know I will again I gained it all back. If I can loose weight in spite of not exercising then it shouldn't matter once I do start if I should choose to stop again. My weight loss is not going to be a result of exercise. Exercise will be complimentary to my maintenance instead. That and I'm in terrible shape so it's going to HURT and I don't like pain, of any kind!
So for now I'll keep telling myself, for me, I'm doing this the right way and when I'm ready to get back to the "crunch" I will. The day is coming as soon as the temperature outside is a little better than freaking freezing and the damn rain stops, I'll get at it. But for now, I'm going to continue to eat rabbit food (LOL) and count my points. Love counting points! It's awesome!!!

Weeks 6, 7, 8 & 9...a little behind I think.
Oh, and yes my behind is much littler!
Ok, where to start...week 6. Not much of a loss that week, can't really recall why probably fell off the wagon or as seems the cycle my loss is over a two week period not one. It did put me at 13lbs lighter and fitting clothes I haven't warn in a while, so not complaining at all!
Week 7, a decent 2.8lbs gone marking my 15.8lb loss at March 16th a short 49 days from my start on this go round with WW.
Week 8, down 3.8lbs! This was significant because I earned my 10% award from WW a key ring to which I will add a star for 25lbs when achieved and a key for my lifetime achievement. This will be my second full key chain and hopefully my last! I honestly thought, when I started, this was going to be hard. So far I'm surprised at how easy it is. Yes it's work but man is it worth it! Fitting a size 9/10 (says that on the label) skirt I bought in 2006 after I lost the first time was motivation enough to keep going.
Week 9, Easter long weekend! And I totally blew the points at Easter dinner on the Friday before weigh in. UGH! Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it. There is no WW in Quesnel. I got on my parents scale and I was up 2lbs! YUCK!!!! However in my defence it was food weight not fat because by Tuesday when I got on the scale I was back down and less than my week 8 weight. Undigested food is very heavy, 2.6lbs worth. TMI? Sorry.
This week I've been really good about what I'm eating. Making sure I get all my fruits and veggies in as well as water, a figgin tonne of water! I'm interested to see if I hit my next target, I only need to loose 2lbs to do it but with the way my weight loss cycle has been going I think I might have to wait another week to hit that one. That's ok, I see the light at the end of the tunnel and only having 12lbs to go I'm pleased with my progress thus far.
I didn't take before pictures, I have enough snapshots to show how ummm large I was (was, love that word) when I'm done however I will post an after picture and be plenty proud to do so!
On a side note, on of my co-workers asked me if I was sick because he noticed I was getting thinner. This was a little concerning because although I've been loosing quickly, just over 2lbs a week. I've not been starving myself. I eat all day long! You should see my lunches! I guess it's noticeable! No, for the record I'm not sick! I'm not anorexic, I still eat and keep it all down, I'm not that desperate to loose the weight that I would harm myself. Besides I love food and eating far too much to deprive myself. Ask anyone who's eaten with me...I eat!
