Weigh-in for March 31, 2009: Building motivation

Published by Biffster on March 31, 2009 under Exercise, Weigh-in, WeightWatchers

Current weight: 312.6
Difference from last entry: +0.2
Difference from 2009 starting weight (316.6): -4

I know it looks like I gained a bit there, but it is deceiving. I forgot to post an update here last week. I was up then, and lost most of that extra weight this week. And it was legit: I was pretty positive that I lost a bunch this time around. I even told the Weight Watchers leader that before weigh-in.

The biggest change I made this week: getting back into the swing of walking at lunch during the week. I had used my health issues earlier this year as an excuse to stop walking, and then I got lazy. I started coming up with reasons to skip my walk. And suddenly I simply wasn’t walking at all.

I did have some eating incidents this week. It’s close to Easter, and there are so many good easter candies out there. Well, actually, there’s only a couple I really like, mainly the marshmallow-circus-peanut-type chicks and ducks. This week, Easter itself is coming up. Hopefully I can stay focussed during brunch on Sunday.

Weigh-in for March 18, 2009: Starting over

Published by Biffster on March 19, 2009 under Goals, Habits, Weigh-in, WeightWatchers

So another year, another beginning. I decided that I needed to stop depressing myself by seeing just how far off I went in 2008. That means wiping the slate clean. I am starting out a new weight chart (though I am keeping the weight chart I’ve had running since ‘97), and resetting my weight to my first Weight Watchers weigh-in of the year (316.6 pounds). From this point on, I am holding myself accountable.

The bummer is that, over the course of 2008, I gained back 18 pounds. Even though I am going to try to ignore that, I am not stupid. And my memory isn’t that bad. I’ll need to work at this a few months just to undo what I did last year. I hate that I once again let myself go. I am proud of myself for realizing what is going on, and forcing myself back to Weight Watchers, especially when I really don’t want to. I could’ve just ignored this and ended up heavier than when I started Weight Watchers at Work in 2007.

2008 is behind me, for better or for worse. 2009 is going to be my year!

  • Yoplait has some excellent new flavors in their Light line, including Thick & Creamy Cherry Cobbler. SO good. #geekfit #
  • I have a question: why doesn’t #geekfit retweet in the accepted format? (e.g. RT @weightjournal Yoplait has some….) #
  • Weight Watchers cheddar twists.So yummy! #weightjournal #weightwatchers #geekfit #
