And I suppose that's better than not, huh? This past week has been kind of a roller coaster.. Some days I'm totally on and others I just can't seem to find that same sort of motivation. I have been OP throughout all of it though. I just need to learn how to consistently stay in the right mindset. It's weird, because the first time around with WW, it seemed SO easy. And a month passed me by so quickly, it's only been a week and I'm dragging my feet. I know a new week will bring some renewed ambit…

Ok... You ate that salad with the full fat dressing... So what?! Your supposed to be incorporating WW into your life.. not depriving yourself of things. You had the craving, not it's over with. You've been doing great all week and are going to do even better this week.
Also, it's not OK for anyone to treat you the way you've been treated today. She's your mother, and it doesn't give her an excuse to treat you worse than she treats strangers. No one should have to deal with that kind of behavior…

Well I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond today. I love that store to death and if the boyfriend wasn't with me I could spend all day there. I so wish we had one where I live! While I was there though, I purchased a new scale. It's a Taylor one... And it had advertising for TBL all over it... It's weird, because so does my food scale. It's the same brand... must be an advertising thing. Well either way, I got on it.. hoping maybe that I'd be really super lucky and it would be LOWER than my other scale…

I NEVER write blogs on the weekend. Either I'm too busy or just don't really want to talk about how rough things are going because it IS the weekend. This is one of those rare Saturday nights when I don't do anything. We all went out last night and I was good for the most part, aside from probably having too many beers (it was the beer garden at our county rodeo) and some cheesy fries at the local bar... Haha. I only had a couple fries (or 5). But the moral of the story is, I didn't eat the whol…

The title says it all! Being back OP and living with a boyfriend who loves food (most of the same ones you do)... is hard! Smelling him cook his delicious food is a huge struggle for me! Our house isn't very big, and I really don't want to go hide in my closet while he's eating, but seriously! Lol! As I'm sitting here eating my bagel and FF cream cheese he's chowing down on chicken alfredo. Yea... we all know what THAT smells like. Lol. The one thing that does make me feel better is looking at t…

I just can't seem to stay away from the stuff! Not in an alcoholic sort of way, but it's just always at all of our social functions! I have always LOVED it and just can't seem to go out with friends and not indulge. I just turned 21 in December, and I'm sure it kind of has a lot to do with all the "newness" of it still... Not to mention it IS summer time and we have BBQ's at our house at least twice a week.. I know it's horrible, and I should probably track it, but I don't. I really feel like it…

Woo Hoo! I kept my word to myself and blogged today! Super excited! Today has been my first official day OP and has really been fairly easy. That's usually how it always goes though. I just need to appreciate that things are going smoothly right now, and acknowledge that there will be rough patches ahead. I've been doing all that I can to stay positive. I'm currently trying to find certain tools that I can use whenever I am getting down on myself or when staying OP isn't as easy. I was thinking…

Welllllllllll here I am! Full speed ahead! I just rejoined WW online and am getting back on track. I know that some people can do it without paying, but I can't. It's just so much more convenient with the eTools. At least in the beginning, when I need all the ambition I can get. So I just bit the bullet and decided $16.95 a month was worth my health and happiness. Even though we are broke, I'll find a way to make it work. :)
I think last time I blogged I'd said something about gaining all my we…

Well it's kind of discouraging that the last two or three blog posts have been the "Hey, I'm still alive" type. No good news (and no absolutely terrible news) to report in any of these posts. We have been in the moving and/or settling in process, and that has all come with parties and BBQ's, none of which were health oriented. I keep meaning to kick myself in the butt and just at least put some effort into healthy eating. I guess admitting that you are in the wrong is sort of the first step in t…

But I'm not even sure EXACTLY how long it has been since I've posted anything. And that all comes with good news, and BAD! :(
Bad first.
I completely 100% went OFF plan and basically back to the eating habits I have prior to even EVER starting weight watchers.. The horrible eating habits that probably got me here in the first place. Annd... well, as anyone would imagine, I gained the weight back. I think it totaled to be about 14 lbs or something like that. I weighted myself yesterday for the…

Ok.. So super exciting news to pass along. This is complete last minute, and something we've been playing with the idea of doing for a couple of years now. But we've been looking at this one house for a couple months thinking like, "Hey, that would be awesome to have a house". Not really thinking seriously about it or anything, but just really liking this house, wishing we could get into one.
Sooo.. I was online looking at houses again last night (I do this occasionally, just to see what's new)…

Wooo.. the blogging bug has bit! Lol. :) It seems like I'm just in the mood to write lately, not a bad thing either! It helps me sort things out, and sometimes that's just all I need!
Yesterday went off without a hitch. I had a chicken breast, green beans and leftover small KFC Mashed Potatoes that I had from Sunday (which, by the way are only 3 pts. for the small size. It's a great side!) It was very filling, and pretty dang good. I had a couple pinches of shredded cheese when I was making the…

Well, Woo hoo! Two blogs in a row! I told myself I would blog again today, if even just a sentence so that I can get back into the routine. :)
I was looking at Roni's recipe for the Mushroom Pork Chops and with her creamy mashed potatoes! It sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it. Stuff like that is so up my alley. We are meat and potato eaters here, as well as comfort food. It's definately a recipe the boyfriend wouldn't mind as well. I just know it. I'm sure I'll make that sometime this week.…

Ugh! Well it's been probably well over a week since I blogged last, and let's really just say that I've been doing, not good. At all. I'm not one to get down on myself, and I don't think I am, but I'm not going to lie to myself thinking that "it wasn't all that bad".
I have basically been eating anything and everything that sounds good to me, when it sounds good. I wouldn't say eating in excess, but definately eating completely off plan. I think it kind of started when we got our tax return bac…

Well hello all my lovely losers! =) (Of course, losing in the great sense!) I haven't blogged for about a week, even though I visit the site regularly, I just never have the motivation to type a blog. Talk about lazy! It might be that I never have anything exciting to write about. :P
Last weekend, well... was LAST weekend. And thank goodness that's in the past. I think I was "good" about 50% of the time. I DID have pizza, although it was veggie pizza, I probably ate way too much. It satiated my…

First of all, YAY for friday. This week seemed like it dragged on and on. I don't know what it is! lol. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the boyfriend had to work Friday, when usually he has them off. Not complaining much though, the money is really nice.
Second, I don't have any idea what my problem is! I have been doing just fine with my eating all week! But then I have to go have a "girls" night and probably blow all my WP's in one night when it's still the beginning…

Hello! Well I have yet to blog this week, even though I vowed that I would start blogging more! Hehe.. Geez. I don't even have a good excuse. I have been completely and utterly drained lately, well at least over the past few days. I had a rough weekend, but plenty of time to re-coup. TOM is visiting and that may have something to do with it, I just don't remember ever being this tired when he's visiting. Hmm, who knows.
I wish I could say that this week has been a breeze and I've been doing fan…

Well I made it through the weekend... I'm not sure I can say I did great this last weekend as we went out to the bar about three nights in a row!! Ugh! Talk about drained today.. I slept pretty much all day long and feel like a complete bum becuase of it. We had a great time, but I seriously think we've overdone it. hehe.
I never use any of my *brain fart!* "extra" points (?) during the week, I basically use every single one on drinks for the weekend. I don't do bad food wise on the weekend nor…

Well this is my second blog of the week. It's getting better! I guess it's definately better than my 1 blog a week average that I was at before. :P
Well it's Friday! I made it through the week, and did pretty dang good, if I do say so myself. I have been super lazy, fighting a cold all week and haven't felt like cooking. But Subway has been my most recent indulgence. Before, I had always thought that it was one of those foods that everyone thought was so healthy but was just as bad as a cheeseb…
