Well  I am back from Labor Day Weekend. What a great weekend. Did ok foodwise but definitely ate more than I should. Could not resist the smores. My big weakness. Will find out tonight when go to ww ,what the scale says. Did stay motivated and ran 4 miles on Saturday up in maine and then did run 5 miles last night. My legs are killing today as this weekend did alot of walking back and forth from site to site. Hopefully the running will somehow undo some of the food damage. Did also drink which has calories but we only go on this trip once a year with six other families so I figured  what the hey? gotta have fun some days. Today is back to the grind nutrition wise.No time to feel guilty as each day to me is a new day. No more I was bad or I was good. Hope everyone else had a good Labor Day weekend. Kids go back to school on Thursday so that will definitely help . We will be back on schedule so not as much free time to munch. Will write more later after ww weigh in of course. Wish me luck on the scale!!!!

So I  have not been on over the last few weeks. first I was frustrated but now it has been five weeks on ww and I am finally seeing some results. not seeing the scale change is very frustrating . Sometimes I feel like I do well and the scale does not show it. I was on vacation last week and did not gain any weight which is good for me. I did indulge in some fries and fried dough(my favorite) as we were at the beach for the week. I did make sure to drink plenty of water as one of the nutritionists I know has always told me that if you get dehydrated it makes you hungrier. I think she is right as this week I did not binge, just had a few treats but did well otherwise. ww really does make sense and does work if you follow it. So I am getting nervous about my eating this weekend. we are going camping with some other families for the labor day weekend and I know the temptation to eat junk food is gonna be there. Any words of encouragement out there? I could really use some.

so I was doing really well over the weekend but this week has been tougher. my daughter is a a day camp/cooking camp. this week was italian week so of course everything is carbs ,carbs and more carbs. first day:spinach and ricotta cheese lasagna rollups and chocolate cup cakes day 2:proscuitto pannini, bow tie pasta salad and homemade italian bread the kind you dip in oil. day 3 calzones and cannolis and today spaghetti with meat sauce and italian cookies. i would usually be pretty good as it is alot of carbs but the catch is that all the pasta etc is from scratch. I guess I need some words of encouragement because i do not want to hurt my daughters feelings as she loves to cook and is loving this camp.she is only 10 years old. any ideas. i guess i will be doing alot of running the next few days to burn off the calories. till next time. good luck to you all on your weight loss endeavor.

well this is my first weekend since restarting on weight watchers. It went well. Was able to stay on track and not feel like I had to eat out of control. Not sure why but finally I feel like I want to keep on this and loose the weight. doing better tracking my food. It really does work so you can see how much you really eat. I think when you don’t do this you definitely underestimate what you take in. have been drinking my 6 glasses of water each day and this really does help in not being as hungry. my friend and i are really staying connected and supportive which is good. Can’t wait till tuesday to see what the scale says. Just getting ready to either go to the beach or go to a barbeque. Hope everyone had a good weekend and I will write again soon. i find that writing in my blog regularly does help keep me on track . thanks for all the great supportive comments . it is such a nice group of people on this site.

Well I went to my first weigh in at weight watchers on Tuesday. I lost actually 2 pounds as last weigh in 155. I am so happy. I followed the plan but not completely so this week I am even more motivated to follow it better. It does work. ran two miles yesterday and boy was that hard. It was so humid. But I did it. I was ready to blow it off but  I did not yeah for me. So I hope everyone is having a good week and I will write more later.

well tomorrow is the big weigh in day. I am hopefull. i ran two miles last night, have been trying to keep up on the running but it is so hot here. i hate the humidity.i ate ok today a few chocolates but mostly healthy. i work with cancer patients so it is hard as food is sort of a comfort thing in clinic. thankfully today someone sent and edible bouquet which is only fruit. did have a chocolate covered strawberry. kind of healthy huh?anyway hope others are having a good week. feeling kinda bloated as it is that time of the month. will write more tomorrow after my weight watchers meeting. thanks you so much for all the helpful comments i have received. it is really nice to feel supported by my fellow dieters. later

So here I am three days since starting back on weight watchers. having been eating the way i know i should so hopefully i will be -pleased when i go to my next meeting. did not get to run yesterday due to the horrible thunder storms. will try to run today after work. I wish I could find a local buddy to keep in touch with . this forum is great but wish i had someone to run with and such. tried to get the hubby out there but he is more into biking and swimming. not a runner. hope you all have a great weekend. will resume my log on monday. i do find writing in my log every day helps as it kind of reminds me of my goals and the commitment to getting healthy i cannot avoid.

Well I am two days post restarting ww and so far so good , next tuesday weighin will be the truth teller. running so far going good. feeling blah today as it has rained all day so no running for me. it is my day off so kind of bummed was hoping to make it a beach day .i guess i cannot complain too much as last week was my week off and the weather was perfect.it is so hard on rainy days as all i want to do is eat and watch tv. it is so weird my first time doing ww it seemed so much easier and that was only a year ago. I do not get why it is so much harder as i did it once already(reached my goal weight) any suggestions on how to mentally make this ww thingt easier. also i find the more i run the hungrier i get. any help with that.

ok so now it is time to get serious. Went back to weight watchers tonight. Saw some people from my last time with weight watchers. They were glad to see me back which made me feel good. It is a very supportive and I have noticed since I stopped going the weight came back. The meeting was good. Talked about making yourself feel better and more confident. I am glad I rejoined. Lets see how this week goes but I am confident that I will start losing weight again.

wow summer has been a tough time. especially with vacations and such. we just had a barbeque and pool party at our house and i had a really hard time staying away from the desserts. i am restarting again today. ran into one of the ladies yesterday who i used to see at my old weight watchers group. found out where they are and am going to start again tomorrow with them. it really helped me realize that now is the time and procrastination is no good. training to run the lowell marathon in october so gotta get going. ran 2.5 miles tonight and it felt really good. hopefully with my exercize back on track and restarting ww tomorrow this will help. will keep up better in my blog and it is so much harder when you do not feel supported.
