so, i made the 20 lb mark and then some! i’ve still got a few stones to drop (i prefer stones over pounds, sounds much better), but now i know i’ll get there. i’m back in my old 4/6s and will scootch into high school 0s and 2s soon. OR ELSE.
didn’t make the 20 pound mark this week. maybe next. it might have to do with turning into a binge eating sloth.
i’ve been mia from all online action, except tracking my WW progress. i’m down 17 pounds and will hopefully weigh in tuesday down another 2. so, almost 20 lbs. almost there! yet, i still feel fattish. i think the fact that i hate all of the clothes i kept from being this size combined with knowing i still have about 10 pounds to go to get back to high school weight makes me feel like where i am now is nothing special. also, i have no moolah with which to buy a new wardrobe, so i’ve been wearing some real weird, ill-fitting stuff. marry me!
small victories, people. small victories. down 1.8 pounds AFTER t-day week. which makes me think that weight loss is a week behind. which means this tuesday will SUUUUUUCK.
right… so, the thing about WW is that they have their own website for you to track activity and points consumed. so, i kinda have been using it instead of this. and guess what? it’s waaaaaay more effective. i’m down 7 pounds and one pants size for sure, almost another one probably next week. woooooooooo!
c u soon.

tomorrow’s the day. week #3 weigh in. was up last week. hoping to lose this week, but most likely will end up where i started. i stepped up the activity this week and was a bit more diligent about what i shoved in my face. we shall see. we shall see.
so, it’s been almost a week. the thing is that i have to use the weight watchers site to keep track of everything, which makes this space almost redundant. what i forgot was that i need this site to vent a little about the recording of the food and activity on the WW slow-ass site.
in a related story, i gained two pounds last week as evidenced by my tuesday night meeting. guess i recorded points incorrectly or i actually already ate less than my points requirement and should just go on the rachel zoe diet. the chick at the meeting was nice. she just weighed me and stuck the sticker in my booklet. didn’t say anything.
boo.
the meeting was weird too. it reminded me of college. the leader would ask questions that warranted a factual answer but was given pointless anecdotal drivel. also, this is horrible, but i weighed probably 80-150 pounds less than everyone in the room. so, there was that for the ol’ self esteem. SEE! HORRIBLE!
so, weigh in is on tuesday. i stuck to my points this week too (was on staycation as mentioned and gave myself a break from all things computer/email/blogs/etc), but i bet i didn’t lose anything. hopefully i didn’t gain either.
i did go to the gym everyday but wednesday hopefully that was burned calories in the bank.
so, i made it through my first week of weight watchers. i didn’t officially go over my point allowance and ended the week with a surplus of 9 extra flex points. i also earned 17 activity points, but couldn’t use them to swap for food points since it was my first week. but really, i’m sure i cheated. who the hell has the time to track all of this shit so precisely? i did my best to estimate and really overestimate things i ate that weren’t brand name. my plan is to spend this week developing recipes we can eat (i say we because i do the cooking and the bf will literally eat anything i put in front of him and tell me how good it is because he’s nice like that) that i can measure exactly to get a sense of what eating my daily point value is really like.
i’m missing my workplace meeting today (staycation, baby!), but i’ll go to a local meeting (if they let me in) to weigh in.
i busted it for an hour at the gym today - four miles! 15 minutes spent running.
