After a small mental breakdown (focus-wise) a few weeks ago, am pleased to say I am back on track and have had two more losses over the last couple weeks. Last Tuesday I was down another 1.9 pounds and this week at weigh-in was down 1.1 giving me three pounds over the last two weeks. This brings my total loss to 18 pounds! Very pleased.
I was just commenting to my husband the other day how "not hard" it seems to be this time with the new way points are calculated. Since it has changed, the points given to a person has increased so this time, for me, it doesn't seem like I am having to totally eliminate things that I like, it is just making me look at HOW MUCH of those things I have now. Not feeling deprived or like something is forbidden is definitely something that is good for me. Tell me NOT to, and you knowwwww that's the first thing I am gonna do! Going back to WW has also made me go back to some of the things I used to have and LOVE and now makes me wonder, "why the hell did you ever stop having that?" Personally, I think they need a 12-step program for smoothie addictions! I love, love, love LOVVVVVE raspberry/banana and strawberry/banana smoothies!
Who would have thought that the girl who used to eat something fruity maybe every few months couldn't go without a day without it??

Week 7/8 WW
Another 2 for 1 post.
I never got around to posting last week's weigh-in result cause it was so minor I didn't feel like wasting my time posting about a .2 loss. Yeah yeah, I was still down, it all adds up yada yada yada. I know "why" it was only the .2 cause I stopped tracking a couple days before weigh-in so was actually half expecting to see a gain so while a loss of the .2 was a pleasant surprise it also was a mini-disappointment. Enough of a disappointment thankfully to kick my ass back into gear for the past week and at last night's weigh-in I was down another 1.6 pounds bringing my total weight loss to 15 pounds. Woohooo!!
It's pretty incredible how you can look in the mirror and see the difference losing a bit of weight can make. I carry my weight around the hips and waist and have actually been noticing the difference since as early as 7 pounds lost, so now double that and I can see and feel a big difference already. Hubby said he notices it around my face too and my lovely daughter told me "Not to sound to Kingston-like, but your butt is getting smaller mom." (My husband is from the country and the standing joke in our house is that it's a good thing he found someone outside of that community or he'd likely be married to a relative).
My poor husband, it's like there are two of me in this house!
