Week # 14 completed on WW .....-2.2 loss ....WOOOHOOOOO!!!


Another loss of -2.2 lbs ...I am psyched and soooo excited about my newfound lifestyle :) I can't believe how well I have been doing , it's definantly a NSV for me to be on WW this long and still going strong!! I don't want to give up on myself anymore and this is a WONDERFUL feeling!!

Last week I didn't post because I got busy ...but my loss last week was -0.4 ...not as much as this week but hey it's still a loss and I am moving forward each week so this is a good thing!! In the 14 weeks I have been on WW I have not had a gain although I have had two maintains but I don't think that is bad at all.

I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel ....I can taste it!! Right now I am participating in Chubby Chick's Christmas Challenge and my goal is to lose 40 lbs. by Christmas day and even if I don't get to that goal I will still be happy with the weight I have lost while on this wonderful challenge!! I have 15.2 lbs. to go to meet that challenge and I am working hard to get to that goal by Christmas day but if I don't make it I am not going to let it ruin what I did accomplish :)

My total weight loss since starting WW is -24.8 lbs. and to me that is one HUGE accomplishment so far!! I am starting to LOVE me again :) It's like I can do anything now!!

My goals for this week:

* To stay within my daily points each day this week so I can have my extra flex points for Thanksgiving day :)

* To keep up drinking the water

* To lose at least 2 lbs. this week :)

WI Day Update/ Week # 11 completed on WW


First I wanted to say a big "Thank You" to Sunny days for making this beautiful WI day icon for my blog ....she did a wonderful job on it so Thank You Sunny Days!!

Well it's been quite the week for me and quite the weekend as well. Last weekend I had gotten sick from my asthma and then it turned into a really bad head cold and I was sick all weekend including Monday and Tuesday and then I started feeling better around Wednesday of last week BUT then on Friday I started to get sick again :( I was soooo sick this weekend that it wasn't even funny and although today I am much better I am still feeling "yucky".

I am not sure why I got sick the second time around but I do run a home daycare and a couple of the kids were sick from allergies last week and the week before and all I can think of is all those germs that the kids carry got me sick :( But hopefully by tomorrow I will feel much better! Any ways that is what has been going on with me and that is why this update on my WI Day is late!!

Well Saturday was my WI day and even though I was sick I still weighed in. I lost 3.5 lbs......WOOOHOOO was my first thought! For the last couple of weeks I have been having small losses so when I lost 3.5 lbs. I was HAPPY as a clam!!! I know that a loss is a loss no matter how small but for me having small losses several weeks in a row was frustrating to say the least so I am glad that I got a bigger loss this past week!

My goals for this week are:

* To take my vitamins EVERYDAY (hopefully by doing this I will help hinder some illnesses this winter especially with working around kids all day)

* To keep on my low carb/high protein foods....I have noticed that this works best for me when I keep it up and do it all the time.

* To lose at least 2 lbs. this week ...I would be happy with 2 lbs. but ecstatic with more although any loss will do.

*To maintain no gains ....I have NOT had a gain in 11 weeks on WW and although I know sometimes impossible not to have gains but would like to keep it up :)

Sick / Update


I know I have not been here with any updates and that is because I am still sick. I got ill a few days ago with my asthma , it was acting up really bad but I finally got that under control and then on Saturday night I started to get a very bad sore throat ..ugggghhhh! Well it just got worse and now I am feverish, achy, and a bad sore throat. I just wanted to update and let everyone know I am still around :)
Thank you to all that wished me well with my asthma , I appreciate everyone's thoughtful comments and well wishes :) I hate being sick , it really sucks :( Any ways here is what happened at my WI day ...this past Saturday!
I lost 0.9 ...not a big loss but still a loss so I am happy with it :) This week I plan on cutting my carbs big time , I feel that is what is giving me these small losses so I will change things up a bit and see what goes on. So more salads, veggies, good carbs, and protein for me :) I know when I eat that way I feel soooo much better! On Halloween night I did well with the candy ....I only ate the points I alloted for the candy and then I was done and the leftover candy went to a couple of my daycare kiddos who I watched overnight on Halloween night. This is a BIG NSV for me because last year I devoured the candy that was leftover but this year was different and I DID IT :)
One holiday down and three to go .....Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's ....I know I can do this and I will because I want to succeed at this and get to goal!! My eye is on the prize and I am NOT looking away :) Well I got to go and lay down , just wanted to update everyone. I hope everyone has a great OP week and a LOSER WEEK too!! I will catch up with blogs later on in the week when I am hopefully feeling better!!
