Well… I’m back on the weight loss wagon, and working with the Weight Watchers program this week. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m a big, fat slob at the moment, and the Super Bowl (and the ensuing weeks) did much to derail my weight loss efforts. Oh, and I have no willpower when it comes to food.
So, I’ve come back to the one “diet” that seems to work for me - Weight Watchers. If I keep track of my food, it seems to get it through my thick skull that I’m only supposed to eat enough to be full. It seems like a lot when I put it down on paper, but when I have it on the plate, the food portions seem lacking. But, I’ve had some success this week, so I’ll keep it up.
Here’s the latest:
New Start Weight: 242.5 pounds
Current Weight: 236.0 pounds
Total Weight Loss: 6.5 pounds
It’s not too bad (6.5 pounds in three days), but I need to get myself ready for the weekend. I have no problem sticking to the diet during the work week, but once I have all that time at home with the food, I crumble. Guess I’ll have to keep myself busy.
I have been exercising at least 5 days a week (LifeCycle and BowFlex), so at least I feel a bit healthier. I’ll be keeping it up (so to speak), and have a goal to watch myself until my birthday on April 13th. This gives me about 8 weeks to lose weight before then. My goal is to lose at least 25 pounds, which is roughly 3 pounds a week (for those of you who couldn’t figure out the math above).
Wish me luck!
