Week 12 - The Results Blog

If that cat jumps on my key board one more time....anyone want a slightly annoying overly cuddly attention whoring cat?

It was a busy, busy weekend. I didn't stay for the Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday, I did however go to get weighed in. I managed to lose 2.8 pounds! Total weight loss since October 11th has now been 54 pounds! I'm ecstatic! I'm not sure how I managed to lose this week though and am hoping it doesn't catch up with me next Saturday. I didn't journal all week and there wasn't an aerobics class due to Easter Monday. I'm going to have to be really good this week to make sure the sins of my past don't come back to haunt me. Oh...and Brad lost 7. In one week. Not journalling. MEN! No, I'm happy for him really. I hope he sticks with it. When he does, he does amazingly.

I suppose I did do a lot last week. I moved a LOT of heavy stuff, (two sheets of sheet rock together...not bad!) didn't sit on my butt for too long during James' naps, went for walks, got out into the beautiful weather. Yeah, okay, I did better than I thought.

I have bought a food scale now too. No more estimating (under-estimating I'm sure) point values for meat and other things that probably should be weighed. Previously if I couldn't put it in a measuring cup, it didn't get portion controlled. I'm sure I'll be shocked by the actual weight sizes for certain food.

Anyway, back to my busy weekend. I think I did okay as far as eating. No, I didn't journal it. Yes, I am back at journalling now. Saturday was a bit of a stressful morning. Brad had to work in the morning and we went to a birthday party for my cousin way way out in Brampton's Dave and Buster's. I had planned on taking James to my WWers meeting but fortunately Brad got home just in time to watch James while I got weighed in. While I was gone, he took James to my parents so we could head out to be in Brampton by 11...okay, we were late. Got there at 11:30. I did good there. I only had two fajitas...really really really could have had more but limited my self. Even though I didn't want to go I had a really great time and had a lot of fun. Learning that it is okay to leave the safety of my little world every now and then.

Sunday a team of my friends went on a 5K walk for M.S. It was a sunny day (if not a little chilly) took James and again, had a good time WHILE getting exercise. All in all, a good weekend.

Tonight is aerobics. Looking forward to that. Crappy weather is predicted all week, so either back to the basement or exercise dvd. Probably should do some yoga today. My hamstrings are a little tight from all the walking I've been doing lately and want to be able to jump around tonight at aerobics.

Have a good Monday! Bah!
