Wow...it has been a while since I have journaled! Things in the last few weeks have been going really well for me. I fell off the wagon again a few weeks ago because I got sick and nothing sounds good when I am sick, so when I crave something...I eat it. The week before I got sick, I had a really rough time because I had worked my tush off trying to do the best I could. I followed points, got my good health guidelines in and worked out every day...I gained a pound. I got really discouraged and said "screw it" and sort of watched points for a couple of days, but none of them were necessarily "healthy" points, and then I got sick for two weeks. The first week I ate whatever I wanted and only suffered a small gain. The next week I told myself I HAD to be good. I followed points to the best of my ability and finally recovered. Now I am on a downhill slide with my weight and it feels so awesome! I have avereaged about 2 lbs of loss per week for the last four weeks (I skipped one weigh in the second week I was sick, but lost about 5.5 lbs when I finally did weigh in) and this week I cannot let myself be discouraged if I don't have a huge weight loss. Not last week, but the week before I let go a little bit because we went to the Chargers vs. Patriots game and tailgated. We drank a lot, made hamburgers and then ate nothing but junk food the entire time we were there. The atmosphere was awesome and we had a blast. The few days following I did my best to stay on track and it helped me lose about 1.4 pounds last weekend when I weighed in. I know that it takes around two weeks or so for your body to really catch up with you if you have already lost your water weight, so this is weigh in that would reflect that struggle. Not only that but Aunt Flo has come with her luggage...let's just hope she packed lightly! I will settle for just maintaining this week, but I have to keep telling myself I will not be too disappointed or let it effect my motivation if I happen to have a gain this week. Especially because my husband comes home in a month and a day from his six month deployment...32 days...that is all I have to get to my goal of 209. I want to be as close as possible to where I was when he came home last year...I was 205.2. I don't have very much further to go to get to that point, so if I just really concentrate and work hard...I know I can do it! Hopefully tomorrow's weigh in will go well...I only have about 6 more pounds to go to get in the flat out 200's. I am bound and determined! I am so excited to see my husband. This six month deployment has been the hardest one ever for me. I have lost about 17 pounds since he left...but almost 25 since I have been on weight watchers. My lowest weight since weight watchers was 205.2...hopefully I will be back there soon. I will probably cry the day I hit 199.9 or lower...I cannot remember the last time I weighed under 200 pounds! The holidays are close though, so I just need to stay focused and not let them get in the way of my goals! :)
