Yay!

I didn't go to a meeting last week because of all of my Christmas shenanigans - I simply didn't have the time. I went to a different meeting tonight than last time. This will be the one I stick with. I really like the leader and the receptionist is pretty cool too. At the weigh-in I lost .2, that is good, much better than gaining. Next week it will be more, at least a whole pound. After the meeting I spoke with the leader and receptionist about how I think its kind of funny that in a college town there are not any meetings specifically for people my age. They agreed with me that there should be, and also agreed with me that I should be the one to lead it. So that gives me something to work towards. I have to lose the weight so that I can become a leader and help other people. If I don't lose the weight I can't do that. Both of them were very enthusiastic about it and made me super excited about this idea. They said that they were going to keep an eye out and make sure I get to goal so that I can do this. I always seem to put other people ahead of myself anyways, so I think the idea that once I get down to my goal weight I can help other people do the same will be very motivating.

Ugh.

So, I weighed in tonight. I gained 2.2 pounds. I think it might have been that half bottle of champagne, bag a twizlers, and other random junk. I guess thats what you get when you don't go grocery shopping for a long time so you don't have a whole lot of good food lying around. So I went grocery shopping and loaded up the fridge with fruit and veggies. So, this week will be better! I also didn't go to the gym at all this week because the roads were covered in ice and I'd rather be fat than dead. So there you have it. This week I will eat my fruits and veggies and I will get some sort exercise. Yay!

I've Had a Productive Day so Far

Its not even 1 yet and I've already been super productive. I woke up, ate breakfast (first time in a long time), studied for my archeology final, took said final, went to the gym, rejoined weight watchers and had lunch. So, I weigh 5 pounds less than when I started last year. I guess it could be worse. I had really hoped to be smokin' hot by now, but oh well. I'll start fresh. I have to lose at least 79 pounds before I am at the high end of healthy weights for my height (or lack thereof...heehee). So I might just shoot for an even 100 pounds, as that would put me well within the bounds of what I should weigh. The meeting I went to was on campus, I saw a flyer for it. One would think that it would involve students, no, not so much. It was a bunch of old ladies going through menopause. I am going to find a different meeting next week because I felt young and awkward. FYI: Jamaican jerk chicken salad from American Dream = amazing.

Here I Go Again...

The summer before my Junior year of high school I joined Weight Watchers and quit when I started doing cheerleading. Last December I started again, lost quite a bit of poundage, but haven't really done it since summer. I have done it off and on for the last few months but I think I have gained back almost everything that I lost. I decided today when I was walking back to my car from my speech final that I am starting again tomorrow for the LAST time. I decided I would start a blog to help me sort out my thoughts and maybe motivate me a bit. I think part of the reason I haven't done well in the past is because I have largely kept my goals to myself. I decided to share them with a few of my closest friends in hopes that the words of the Beatles will ring true: "I get by with a little help from my friends." I think I might post before and after photos too. So that could be interesting.
So, here is to tomorrow, wish me luck!
