Wow

Long time, no post! Sorry about that.

I did update my weigh-in last week, but forgot to write a post to go with it. Last week, after 3 weeks away from meetings, I had lost 3 pounds!! I was really happy about that, because I had been trying to do well, but somehow had gotten it into my head that really I was doing terribly. Its such a mind-game, the whole weight-loss thing. grr.

Then, yesterday, I showed a gain of 0.8 pounds, but I'm not too upset about that, because there are a variety of factors leading me to believe that I actually stayed about the same this week - just the weigh-in was at a heavier point in the day than usual for me.

But it does frusterate me when I look at my loss/gain for the week and see how directly it is related to my behaviour the week before. When I try really hard, then I do really well - when I don't really try, I don't really lose or gain, and I when I throw things out the window, then I gain. Its so straight-forward, and yet, I just don't get it right. Oh well.

SO, this week, I have 3 goals - to write down my points every day, to drink more water than before, and to get in 10 APs. I got a new double stroller which is a lot easier to manouver than the old one. Its also TONS lighter, and so I am able to use it alot more. We live on the South Side of town, and in order to get to the down town - or anywhere really - you have to walk up and over a huge overpass to get over the train tracks, and until this week, I'd never done it cuz my old double stroller was too heavy. But this new one is so much better that I was able to walk downtown on Monday to pay bills and stuff ON FOOT!! It was super exciting. :o)

Anyway - all that to say that getting my APs in should be easier this week (provided that the rain stays away somewhat) but even yesterday I was able to walk with this new one in some colder yucky weather because it has a cover to keep the kids toasty warm and dry. YEAY!

OH, and I should have said also that as of last week (prior to this little gain), I reached my 25 pound mark of weight loss!! So, I got a little gift token thingy that goes on my keychain at WW, which was nice. My next goal is to be at the 30 pounds weight loss mark by my 30th birthday at the end of September...
