Week 11 - The Results Blog

Wow, weigh in and the meeting seem so long ago now. Official loss for week 11 is 1.8 pounds. I was hoping for better results but I'll take it. At home I was down to 184. "Official" Weight Watchers weight is 186.8 (which is what the scale at home told me too before I left for the meeting). I KNEW baking Friday wasn't such a good idea but Peanut Butter Balls seemed like such a good way of saying thank you to Brad's boss for the Jay's tickets at the time.

Again, I'm looking at this whole weight loss thing the wrong way. If I want to get really technical about my loss, I've lost 51.9 pounds since October which, really is nothing to sneeze at. For some reason I can't get past that the first 32 pounds that came off right away really count for anything. But they DO don't they? I mean I was 238 at my final doctor appointment. I could have said screw everything and managed to maintain that weight but I didn't. I got to work immediately (okay, a month after) James was born and made the decision to lose the weight as quickly as possible. I guess because it initially did come off so fast I don't think it really counts. But if I want to tell people I gained 85 pounds while pregnant then dammit, I'm going to tell them I lost 52 pounds to date!

This Easter weekend has been a breeze (so far!) as far as staying on track has been. I haven't been journalling unfortunately but I am sticking to my usual schedule and food choices. This is also (so far) my first Chocolate-less Easter. We're not religious people in the least (please don't ask me my views, that is another blog entirely ;) ) but to each their own right? Since Easter isn't a religious event in this house hold, it is (unfortunately) about chocolate and family...and food. So far I haven't missed the chocolate and James is obviously much too young for it, making this year quite easy. I cleaned the house this morning, organized a closet and am preparing for the family. My parents I can guarantee there will be chocolate all over the house. It is now up to me to decide if I want 150 bad enough or if I want chocolate bad enough. Dinner will be easy...everything else will be hard.

Wish me luck and am wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!
