The Results Blog

Drum roll please!  I stayed exactly the same. Exactly. To the ounce. 194.8. Again. As determined as I am, I really don't think I can reach 20 pounds by December 21.  As of right now, I am only 2.8 into that goal.  I know that kind of thinking isn't going to help me out in the least.  There is a lot to be said about the power of positive thinking.  I know if I follow the Weight Watchers program to a "T" it is possible.  However at the best of times I struggle being good.  This week, while I did step up the activity level a LOT, there were some incidents that could have been avoided.  Like the fry wagon (that I didn't blog about) on Saturday, the pumpkin pie cheese cake, 5 point cookie, banana bread.  I aim to do better.  I would like to lose at least a pound next week.  Determination and stubborness will be my guide.

Tomorrow James and I will be decorating Halloween cookies.  I love to bake.  I love to try new recipes especially when it comes to baking...it is dangerous to have it around the house though.  I know I can have anything in moderation, it is the moderation I'm still working on.  As my daily points allowance gets less as I lose weight, there will be less room for these types of indulences so I might as well try and cut them out now.  Thankfully the program has changed so that most fruits and vegetables are 0 points, so when hungry it really helps to have an apple or banana or carrots or brocolli.  Smart thinking Weight Watchers!  No one ever got fat eating salad!

Nothing new on the Mommy front.  James is almost completly potty trained.  He can go all through the night without any accidents.  We're accident free for almost 2 weeks...peepee wise anyway.  Poop is a whole 'nother story completely.  Ugh.  So far, the worst thing I've had to do (other than spork James' diaper for a poop sample) has been to clean out poopy underwear.  I actually just threw out a pair entirely rather than have to figure how to get it out of a pair.  It'll take some time.  We'll be trying the sticker chart / reward system.  People on facebook all seem to be in agreement this is the way to go.  So we'll give it a try. At this point, I'll try anything!
