Happy holidays! YOU LOOK GREAT! Way to go on your first 5k. So glad to hear you'll be getting a computer soon. :-)
Congratulations on the 5K and your progress!! Keep up the good work:) Happy Holidays!!
I'm still without a computer until Christmas when my sister will be giving us her hand me down one. I HATE being so out of it. The holidays have been okay so far. I've tried to stay on course. Ran my first 5K today. It was fun! And easy! (Ran with m…
Oh BUMMER! Hope you get your comp up and running soon with minimal financial impact.
Oh Erin! That stinks!! The computer - not the eating. Don't beat yourself up, it was one day and you are already back on track. Try to check in as you can. I love reading your posts! Crossing my fingers for a good computer fix for you!
A freak electrical storm FRIED our computer. I am on my husband's blackberry. Might be MIA for a while. Thanksgiving was okay. Ran 4 miles, but overate by 15 points for the week. Thought I could be stronger. But I also feel like I enjoyed the day wi…
Yes, continue through! A scale is a good tool to use but it doesn't always take into account temporary water gain or muscle gain. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
erin, i feel on you the whole "can't go to the meeting because i have my child" issue. when i do bring my little boy along, he wants to be mr. loudmouth, or crawl all around and try to get into other people's purses! and i admit, when he's not along…
I agree with Heather. You possibly aren't eating enough. Try to dip into the flex. When I did 30DS I gained at first or lost very little. Started eating more and then the weight really started to come off.

- About Me:
- I joined Weight Watchers on May 21, 2009. I had done it online before, but this time things feel different and better. I am a stay at home mom. I'm 32 until September. I've moved 19 times in my life. I feel like I exist in a constant state of change. This time around though I am trying to direct it more.
I know I've messed up a date or two. Sooooo annoying. But somehow this was tricky for me to get right 6 months after I began. I should have done this much sooner. Just didn't. Oh well.

Start Weight - 223 (height 5'9" b/c I know I always wonder about people's height versus their weight) (the highest weight I can be according to WW is 169)
Goal - I think 160 pounds would work well for me. I did it once in my life. It lasted about 1 month maybe (sad). I know WW wants me to wait to decide on a goal weight until I lose 10% of my original body weight. So this may change.
- Plan of Choice:
- Weight Watchers
- Workout Philosophy:
- I loath exercice, I only exercise because I have to

Missing but not gone...
I'm still without a computer until Christmas when my sister will be giving us her hand me down one. I HATE being so out of it. The holidays have been okay so far. I've tried to stay on course. Ran my first 5K today. It was fun! And easy! (Ran with my dad and his pace is slow for me.)
I'll be back soon. I don't think I am going to make my goal of losing 50 lbs by x-mas...but, I'm not doing too badly. I gained, but I think I'm back to where I was. I have about 4 pounds to go, but I'm not holding m… Continue

fried computer
A freak electrical storm FRIED our computer. I am on my husband's blackberry. Might be MIA for a while. Thanksgiving was okay. Ran 4 miles, but overate by 15 points for the week. Thought I could be stronger. But I also feel like I enjoyed the day without losing it too much. I got up this morning, ran 4 miles, and stayed OP all day. I will really miss checking in every day. Don't know when we'll be back online. Thiis could really hurt financially at this time of year, or any time honestly. Hope y… Continue

Gained...
(Forgive any of this that seems repetitive...I just need to get this down for me.)
I am about to go to WW to weigh in only. I can't go to my Thursday meeting b/c it's Turkey Day, and can't attend the full meeting tonight b/c I have my almost 2 year old in tow.
I haven't touched my flex points all week.
I ran 4 miles Friday.
Did a double shred Saturday.
Did a single shred Sunday.
Ran 4 miles yesterday.
Ran 4 miles today.
Weighed myself 5 minutes ago, and it looks like I've gained TWO POUNDS this… Continue

And now the toilet? (Also, Pumpkin Yogurt)
Yes, at 6am this morning I had to struggle with an insane toilet and plunger. And I thought to myself...I could let this get me, not go for a run, and drop back into yesterday's irritation fiesta.
Instead, I chose to fix the toilet, move on mentally and run 4 miles.
SLAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM!
Actually that last statement isn't quite true. It implies I'm sitting here punching into the air like Rocky. Instead I feel quite calm about this. I would say that's a good thing. Exercise is becoming rou… Continue

Irritated
You ever have one of those days where you are so irritated by EVERYTHING you could just SCREAM!!! That's me right now. I have no good reason. I love my husband, but for some reason I want to blame him for having a radio on loud that is playing terrible music. And he has no idea I'm ready to throw the radio out the window. And my son is making all kinds of noise in his crib and he's not going down for his nap. AHHHH!
I know in the grand scheme of things this is NOTHING. I mostly feel stressed b/c… Continue

- I don't think you know how much you make me want to be more committed to my journey. I love the way you always push past your challenges so it is my true pleasure to offer support because you make me want to do better. Happy Thanksgiving Erin!

- Hey! Thanks for your comment! Movie food over here is weird. There's still popcorn and nachos but they look very unappetizing and the popcorn just doesn't smell like popcorn. And then they also have other booths that have all different kinds of fruit juices and then of course one with a bunch of korean food. I've only been once so far but nothing there really made me feel like snacking haha. And thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes :) I'm Canadian so my Thanskgiving was actually a while ago but Thanksgiving isn't really an issue for me because I'm a vegetarian (for which I am thankful after reading so many posts about how hard Thanksgiving is). I would have loved a Tofurkey but that's obviously impossible to find over here. Anyways enjoy the rest of your week!!!

Lynn said… - Hi Erin. Thanks so much for such a great comment this morning. I truly do appreciate it. And it makes me sad also. My husband is so proud of me when I do well at WW but he just can not understand that the constant eating out is working against all my efforts.

Hawtmomma said… - I marinated the broccoli in some balsamic vinagrette dressing & then I put in a veggie grill pan ( not really sure what it's called) & put it on the grill right next to my steaks. Doesn't take too long to do it though. Mine were pretty crispy but i liked them that way. I will DEFINITELY be making it again & try different marinades. Hope you enjoy it too!

Darlene said… - Thanks Erin for your comment back in October about trying on smaller sizes. I actually haven't tried smaller pants yet just because my others still fit. But it is a great idea and I think I will do try some on! I actually have smaller ones somewhere around here (you know the closet with multiple sizes! ). Thanks for the great idea!
