ha ha ha ha ha

Yeah i am SOOOO not gonna wake up at 5am if i don't have to, lol. I am returning to my previously scheduled WW menu and doing well so far (although it is only 9:00am, so really how much trouble could i get into? lol). I did my weigh in (169.8). My goal for today is to drink 90oz of water (5 bottles) and walk with Ike (outside) for an hour and do my exercise video this afternoon, oh and stay within my Points (22). Lot's of goals for one day, but i think i can do it. I am going to call Elizabeth to see if she would like to go walking with me with her Joshua (he's 2 weeks younger than Ike).
I also happened to check out the rec center website for NRH today, i can get a gym membership for $76 a year! It doesn't include classes, but i did really well 2 summers ago when i went to the rec center in Saginaw. Bueller? Bueller?

Training Day

So i've decided that one of the best motivators to get active and lose weight would be to run in a 5k. My friends Dan and Christie ran a 5k on Thanksgiving and Christie is something like 5 months pregnant! It was just last year that we were both lamenting over our weights and doing Weight Watchers together and now she's running and pregnant!? I've GOT to be able to do it! My friend Gwen sent me a link to www.runnersworld.com and so i went and printed off the training program, i will begin this Monday and do it in the mornings before Ike wakes up (otherwise there is no time), that means something ridiculous like waking up around 5am, but I CAN DO IT! I am going to register for the Cowtown 5k, on Feb 28th http://www.cowtownmarathon.org/. If anyone is interested in doing this with me let me know and i will wait to register, maybe we can form a team!?

Oops

I know it's been a while, but this past weekend i was able to talk with my sister and we decided to do WW together (and give each other incentives-a massage to the first person to lose 20 pds-well my sister only has to lose 17, bah!) and that today would be our day one. So far so good, i did fairly well over the weekend even though it wasn't official, so i am starting off the day with 22 Points. I even did the first 20 minutes of my Self exercise video and that video kicked my butt BEFORE i was pregnant, so i proud of myself for making it 20 minutes after no exercise (except my Thanksgiving disaster) for almost a year, lol.

Day Two??

Day One

Oi vey! I gained a pound from all my junking, lol. Oh well, i now have 34.2 pounds to lose. Today wasn't too bad, i still have to drink 2 more bottles of water to meet this weeks challenge of 96 oz a day. I am assuming that i have 24 Points a day going off the old system. I don't have my new starter kit yet, so i'm not 100% positive, but i should be good. I did stay within my points and did not use any Flex points (35 additional points a week to use how i see fit), i'm trying to save them for date night.

A little anxious

I am gonna start WW tomorrow and i am a little anxious, i have eaten WAY too many sweets the past couple days knowing tomorrow was coming soon. I seriously doubt there is any chocolate left in my house and if there is, i will hunt it down soon.

Try again

Well to give everyone time to get used to the idea of WW and to prepare food wise i believe we are going to wait until Monday to get started. That's fine by me because there is 1/2 a bog of Rolos begging me to eat them :)
** Now i'm really happy i waited because apparently WW is changing up their plans...

Yikes

I should be in bed now, but i can't help it! I asked anyone on the Nest if they wanted to do WW with me and YIPEE, i have cohorts! More later, but now i am actually getting a little excited about this!!!

And so it begins...

Tomorrow i will start Weight Watchers again. I have had a lot of success with WW in the past and hope that i will again. My goal is in the 35 pound range, not looking for anything crazy, but it would make me feel a lot better about myself. I am not going to actually join WW again since it is just too costly at the moment, but i saved all of my old material so i think i will be just fine. I will do my weigh ins on Monday mornings (that way i have to stay good over the weekend, my toughest time) and i am looking to do my exercise video 3x a week (M,W,F) and walk 3 miles 3x a week (T, TH,S) leaving Sundays for rest and recoup. Now this is just the beginning and i usually come up with some excuse or another to not stick with the plan, but like i said hopefully keeping a blog will motivate me and hold me accountable!

**Ignore my Crisco hair, i just wanted a "before" shot, lol.
