Carrie-Ann's 2007 new me journal...

Here I go again...

No seriously this time I'm going to do it. So my weight at weigh-in today was 228.8. I did take a break, but only managed to gain 6 pounds. Not bad. I am retaining some water because AF will be here in the next week so hopefully my next weigh-in will be a good one.

Welcome to a bunch of losers. We look foward to you joining us.

Welcome back to the fold. Glad you got back up on the wagon, hold on tight because the journey can be fun and also bumpy. We are here for you through the good, the bad and the ugly. You can do it. Congrats for taking that first big step and going back to your meetings - that will most likely be the hardest step you have yet to make.

Thanks guys. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Well it's about time you got your arse in here and got serious! j/k. Glad to have you back.

Welcome!!! I hope you find this place to be as big of a support system as I do!! It truly is motivation for me knowing I have others to keep me accountable!
GOOD LUCK!

How are you today?

Karen

I'm doing pretty good today thanks for asking Di. I found myself with a whole bunch of points at like 11pm last night. I need to spread my eating out a bit better, but I feel better. I haven't had a soda in a couple of days which is good. I was drinking diet coke, but still I need to drink more water. I've yet to start the pilates, but this week has been funky. I am retaining some water though. AF should be here in the next couple of days so there might be a big difference by next week. At least I hope.

Oh I needed to add that last night was cookie night at work and I managed to stay away. I had a What Would my PC weight loss buddies moment and then ignored the cookies.

What would that be in initials?

WWMPCWLBD?

Do we need t-shirts?

good for you for advoiding those cookies.

First off welcome, nice to have another member of the torturous club. I have a lot of those moments to. They stop me from doing those exact same things. The oh gosh, if I do this I have to write this in my journal moment.

T-Shirts. Wouldn't that be fab. We'll have to look into that

So I got to do a little dancing with my little ones this afternoon. Who needs aerobics when you have Kindermusik. The girls and I went to Applebee's for dinner and I got the new portbella mushrum chicken sandwich on the WW selections. It comes with fresh fruit and is 7 points total...I had the cake too, but I found myself with all sorts of points again. I stole on of Jade's fries and she told me to stop eating mommy. Someone has to keep my honost I guess.

How cute! Little ones will definitely keep us on our toes!! I bet the dancing with the girls was WAY more fun than any aerobics or other exercise!!! Have a great day today!

Great job Carrie-Anne, dancing with the kids is way more fun then actual exercise. I wish the Applebees up here in Canada would do the same as in the States with pointing their menus. I think it will come in time as WW Canada was bought out by the international WW and we are getting a lot more products up here.

Your dinner sounds delicious even with the extra cake and few fries.

Sounds yummy. WTG for staying on track.
Dancing and doing it with the kids, killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Nice job.

I found these really great cupcakes at Walmart. They taste like a hostess cupcake, but are only 2 points. I found them down the bread aisle along with the WW stuff. It's called Mrs' Freshley's Snack Away. There are a couple of different things. I tried the twinkie version too, but I didn't like it as much. Talk about a great way to kill that chocolate craving.

I'm still staying on track and weigh in tomorrow. I haven't gotten to the pilates yet, but I had a bunch of movement activities in my lesson plans this week so I was pretty active. I did a birthday yesterday and had to teach them the Electric slide. Oh and they had all of this food and said help yourself so I filled the plate with mostly fruits and veggies and had a little bit of pasta. That wasn't too hard to do actually.

WTG Carrie-Ann!!! Keep it up. Congratulations on your week. And good luck with WI.

WTG Carrie-Ann, gl at WI tomorrow.

I weighed in at 226.2 so down 2.6 lbs from last week. I'll take it considering I had a visit from AF this week.

That's awesome. WTG you LOSER

WTG!!! Congrats on your loss!

Carrie-Ann, you're such a loser! Keep it up!

So I think there were too many sweets today, but I just did pilates to compensate. I feel all stretched and ready for bed now.

Mmmmm, sweet stuff. I let Logan eat most of his Valentine's candy from daycare today, so that I wouldn't get to it. I'm glad you're all stretched out and ready for bed. Hope you can sleep tonight.

I really need to update this thing more huh? Anyway WI was this morning and I'm down another 2.8 lbs. So 5 lbs since I got back on the horse. I really need to get into an excercise routine. I find myself saying oh i should wait until the kids go to bed and then it's like 11 pm and I don't want to do it. I feel great and I'm hoping that the weight loss will lower my BP.
