Thigh 20.5"(+1/2") oh my! hoping it's because of TOM!
Well, it's been a week since I last checked in. I made myself do that so that I wouldn't be giving you all my measurements 20 times a day. I'm always sure that when I pass up one _______(you fill in the blank with cupcake, ice cream, potato chip or whatever you choose) or if I do a hard workout that I will step on the scale and have miraculously lost 10 pounds and inches everywhere! Yea, whatever, I know you do it too lol.
Any how, I counted and wrote down my points 5 out of 7 days and it shows. I did the other 2 days in my head ( yes I know this is a big mistake and that will be my goal for this week, to write down everyday). I even saved my flex points for a Dairy Queen Blizzard. I'm sure I would have done a little better had I tracked my points in writing everyday and used my flex points for something a little more nutritious but, Weight Watchers is set up so that we can have our occasional treats and that works for me. It keeps me from feeling guilty like I sometimes do with very restrictive diets. Hence, ending up at the Chinese Buffet the week before when I deviated from the very strict fruit/veggie regimen I was trying.
Well, the point to this whole post is, It Is Working! The Weight Watcher Plan that is. I feel really good about it and myself for doing it. I did not feel deprived at all and this is key for me and for you I'm sure.
GOAL FOR THIS WEEK: Write down my food everyday, everyday, everyday. OK, I think I've got it!
Happy OP (On Plan) week all and......
Love, Peace, and Don't Cook with Grease,
Dawn :)

A Hot Mess
Weight 150.4 (-.1)
Waist 36" NO CHANGE
Hips 38" (+1")
Bust 39" NO CHANGE
Biceps 12"NO CHANGE
Neck 14" NO CHANGE
Thigh 20" NO CHANGE
Oh my! Well, there it is, my yo-yo dieting,trying several different tactics, and just plain giving up at times has afforded me many changes. I mean wow, I have lost .1 pounds in 5 months. I'm wondering if that is some kind of record??? Oh yeah, lets not forget that I did GAIN, yes I said GAIN 1" in my hips. Oh boy! just what I was wanting! Well, it's not a total wash. My hair did grow a little longer and I can still fit into the same earrings I was wearing in April.
Let me explain. Hmmmmm is there an explanation? Probably not! I didn't follow Weight Watchers. I tried several different things. Like my latest, eating all fruits and veggies with no grains or sugars. Just fruits and veggies to include a pound of raw veggies every day. Yes that's it except for the cup or more of beans or tofu that I had to eat every day. I absolutely LOVE veggies but, I was getting to the point where if I even had to look at one more veggie I was going to hurl. It's just a guess but, I'm thinking this is probably not a good thing. I did make if 4 days. Oh my! That just didn't work for me. What that did do for me was land me at the Chinese Buffet last night.
Well, I woke up this morning thinking to myself, "Self, why on earth do you keep doing this? You lost 40# on Weight Watchers. You have managed somehow, even through trying to screw it up, to keep those 40# off. So, Self, what actually worked?" Ok, so here is where it gets really scary! My Self answered me back with, "Weight Watchers you idiot!" I really need to talk to my Self about being so curt but, sometimes I NEED that!
So, anyway, a friend of mine, Kristina from the Weight Watchers ****Taking it off in OHIO**** message board, which i stalk frequently, said she had skimmed my blog and it seemed like it would be motivating. HMMMM again I say to my Self, "Self, yes your blog could be motivating to others if you just posted on it. Oh my! your blog might even help yourSELF if you just do something with it." So, here I am. I'm backkkkkkk! No! No! No! Don't be frightened. It's not Poltergeist silly. It's me, DAWN.
So, this morning I will begin my journey AGAIN. I know, I know, here we go again. But, getting my mind right, making mistakes along the way and learning from them, just might make it all stick some day! ( and not stick to my growing hips!)

MAKING CHANGE
Weight 150.5 (-1) YEAH!!!
Waist 36" NO CHANGE
Hips 37 1/2" (-.5) YEAH!!!!!
Bust 39" NO CHANGE
Biceps 12." (-1/2")YEAH!
Neck 14" NO CHANGE
Thigh 20" NO CHANGE
OH MY! I am SQUARE!
So this week there have been some changes, in my weight and inches that is. And, don't get me wrong that is great! I'm ecstatic any time I see the numbers go down.
I tracked everything, and I mean everything, including the LARGE, yes you heard me right, LARGE German Chocolate Blizzard. It was over 1500 calories and 80grams of fat. Who knew??? And, who the heck authorized that there could be a Dairy Queen within 2 miles of my house that has buy one get one for a quarter???? Thank goodness the sale goes off today, at least for this month anyway. So, I have decided that, if by some chance, I end up there today I will have a small blizzard. At least I know that today will be the last day for me until the end of next month. Ya see, I am way to cheap to spend that kind of money on ice cream. I mean, really???? when I can go to Kroger and get their Lite ice cream or some Weight Watcher's ice cream goodie for less than half the money and WAY less fat and calories. We call this my "CONTROLLED MAYHEM" but hey, it works! That is the important thing.
Any who, the point to all that, hmmm was there a point???? oh yeah, the point to all that was that I did have the special so terrible fattening treat, 1/2 price Sushi night out with Steve, and still manage to write it all down and stay within my points.
Finally, I did buy myself the treat that I earned. Ok, so I was a little late but, that did help me to stay on track this week because I want another treat :) I didn't get the Olay Regenerest that I had originally planned on, I got Loreal Revitalift. I LOVE IT! I haven't been using it long enough (only 4 days) to know if it works on the wrinkles or not but, it does make my face feel as soft as a baby's bottom. I still haven't decided on what I will get for this week for staying on track. Who knows with me???
Well, I really need to make some kind of CHANGE this week. You know, ramp it up a bit to make sure that I keep losing some pounds and inches. I'm thinking, since I absolutely hate being square, that I will work on my tummy a bit. So, for this week I am going to try to add 100 crunches a day. Ok now, I am counting on YOU to keep me accountable. So, here goes......

lesson learned
This week I have learned several lessons....
1. Rewards only work when you follow through with them.
2. I CAN NOT eat everything that's not nailed down and lose weight.
3. Making the next available YOU-TURN will work!
So, this is how I have come to learn all this. And, might I add, not bad for a weeks work if I have learned three whole things hehehe.
I did track my points all last week and I did EARN my reward of something special. I didn't however, follow through with getting myself something special. I thought about it. I dreamed about looking for something special for myself and not feeling guilty. But, I never quite went to the store to get anything. So, my reward did not work because I failed to do something for myself. This has always been an issue for be. I'm not sure if I play my own martyr or not but, I don't allow myself to put first. Again, I'm a work in progress. I know that this is something I need to work on or I will carry this weight with me forever. I am worthy of weight loss and celebrating my successes.
I tracked my points all week until Saturday. Then I quit tracking because I was going to a fish fry. I have to STOP this in order to succeed, and succeed I will! So no reward for me this week but, I do vow to reward myself for last week. I think a little reward and putting myself on the list of important things to take care of will get, and keep me motivated. I am worth it. Oh yeah, the fish fry with a carry in dinner at church (a little shout out to the Conaroe's for the fish and the ladies at church for all the yummilicious dishes they brought) was where I learned that I can't eat everything that's not nailed down and succeed. As a little side note and reminder for myself in the future, I have terrible heart burn. My non shrinking tummy is on fireeeeee.
The next available YOU-TURN comes into play right now! I WILL TRACK MY POINTS THIS WEEK! And, with that, I know I will have some kind of success. Even if it is to just get this burning out of my tummy!
So, when you look below at my results for the week, I'm sure just I wasn't shocked, you will not be either. Not much change.
So, now I say to myself, "Self, was not tracking and stuffing your face with things that you know are terrible for your body worth it?" Myself answers, "NO, IT WAS NOT!
Weight 151.5 NO CHANGE
Waist 36" NO CHANGE
Hips 38" NO CHANGE
Bust 39" NO CHANGE
Biceps 12.5" (-1/2")YEAH!
Neck 14" NO CHANGE
Thigh 20" NO CHANGE
With all those "NO CHANGE" it's a good thing I'm not an ATM or my body would fire me!

Well, I think I mentioned my deal with myself. Anyway, just in case I forgot to mention it, I made a deal with myself....If I write everything down that I eat then I can buy myself something special! So, here I am several weeks into my "deal" and no shopping yet for me. Today, I shop. I think I will buy myself that "Olay Regenerist" moisturizer that I have been wanting. Not sure yet. You know how you have your heart set on something but then you get to the store and something else just seems like a better idea. That's me in a nut shell :)....oh yeah, the important thing here is that I wrote everything down. I didn't just say "forget it, I have no idea how many points are in this" That is what I usually do and then I leave the rest of the day blank. So not helpful in my weight loss journey. Remember, I'm taking steps toward rethinking my bad habits. I'm not just trying to lose weight, I'm trying to pave the way for my healthy lifestyle change. Total shock here for me but, when I do the things that have been proven to work, it works???? Who the heck knew??? It feels good to say but, "I am so proud of myself for sticking with it." Yeah, another "healthy" change I am working on. Not being so hard and negative on myself. I think I will just really mess things up and feel good about myself today hehehe. That is probably the shopping talking :)
So, I made it through Easter and the Ohio Dietetics Association Convention last week and stayed within my points. I did use a some flex points but, that is what they are there for, right? My daughter is here visiting from New York Yeah!!!!! Totally miss her but, I will not celebrate nor will I drown my sorrows when she leaves at the Chinese Buffet. Just for today!

making it!
OK, so I certainly was not perfect this week but, I did progress. I tracked points until Saturday???? I can't even tell you why I got side tracked because I was home all day. So, another week goes by and I don't get my something special (probably something girly like a new make-up or moisturizer that I want to try) again this week. Even though I have been losing I made a deal with myself that if I went a whole week and tracked all my points I would get myself a little something special. I had thought about it since I lost weight but, cheating on a deal with yourself is kinda like cheating at solitaire, nobody really wins then.
Weight 152.5 (-2.0#) YEAH!!!!
Waist 36.5" (-1/2 ") YEA!!!!!
Hips 39" (same)
Bust 3.9.5 " (- 1/2 ")YEAH!
Biceps 13.5" (-1/2")YEAH!
Neck 14" (same)
Thigh 20" (-1")YEAH!
Anyway, I did what I said I was going to do. I totally enjoyed my Easter dinner and now I am done. Back to points counting tomorrow but, let me just say, I think baked brie should be outlawed. Especially baked brie wrapped in puffed pastry and covered with dates and brown sugar. What the heck was I thinking. I'm sure my tongue will be missing that tomorrow but, not quite as much as my desire to be healthy. I love controlled mayhem. It's who I am.

Ok, so I didn't set the world on fire this week but, I did light a match. I'm proud of my success. I had a couple of days where I did not track my points :( but, I did have 5 days that I DID track my points :). Thank you Weight Watchers, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Roizen for getting me through the "slip ups" and bringing me back to my tracking. I WILL NOT beat myself up over my imperfections. They are just trials that I face each and every day, as do we all. I try everyday to remind myself that this is my life. It's not a reality TV program. I will make mistakes. I will have "slip ups". I will want treats that are probably less than healthy for me and that is OK. I will plan the best I can. I will make the next available "YOU-TURN" when things are not as they should be in my eating and exercise program.
So, Easter is coming up next week. I'm trying to focus on the big picture. I mean really, Easter is for us to celebrate the risen Christ. Sometimes I forget that the holiday doesn't exist solely for me to stuff my face and drink too much wine. Who knew??? Anyway, I plan to eat too much. Yeah you heard me. I am planning to over eat on Easter. You ask "how can you plan to over eat and call this a success?" Well, I do. I plan to save my activity points and my flex points. I plan to eat what I want so that I do not feel deprived. But, most of all, I plan that when Easter dinner is over, it is over. As my previous Weight Watcher leader once told me, "It is a HoliDAY, not a HoliWEEK!" This is so true. This is where I have messed up in the past. So, I am planning to prevent this. I WILL make the next available YOU-Turn and get back on track. Not on Monday morning after Easter but, right after my Easter meal. I know that if I say I will not eat any of the high calorie high points foods for Easter that I will set myself up to fail. This is what sends me into that crazy tailspin of negative self talk and beating myself up for who I am. You know, you have done it too...."what's the use?", "my body was just meant to be fat." "i cant stick with anything so, why bother" blah blah blah. I promise not to bore you with the whole list. I have many and they can get kinda harsh on me. So, I will spare us all. Today, I choose HEALTHY!
Again, progress, not perfection.
