Be still your hearts

I know....two posts in a row...how could I? Welllllll...this morning I am down again 209.2.I hate to say it but this WW thing is working. I have fought against the idea of WW for a while now thinking I knew what healthy eating looked like.how can inbe eating wrong? I am a vegan (okay MOSTLY vegan) I did try on occasion to journal what I ate but it got away from me.This way I see exactly what I have eaten,how it impacts what I have left for the day and week.I no longer worry when I splurge on a couple cookies because I PLAN for them.I sound like a spokesperson already don't I? I am going away to see my boyfriend this weekend so am saving up most of my points to use while I am out of town.I am sure there will be some excess (hopefully in many areas!)
I like seeing my activity points add up! I have not dipped into them yet.I will be getting up early to use the elliptical for 30 minutes in the morning.I need to deflab.Tone.Condition and stretch.I wonder how long before I am under 200? i am so excited I am all squirmy inside!
Does anyone have any reward ideas for when i reach under 200#...for goal weight??I want to do something wonderful but not to spendy....

New Territory

I am in new weight loss territory.I weighed in this morning at the lowest i have been in almost 10 years.Then it was because I was going through a divorce.Now.....Now my friends it is because I am eating well and sweating loads. drum roooooooooolllllllllllll 209.6.
I know it is still over 200 and it looks alot to most people...well it IS alot.I love saying two-oh-something.It makes One-ninety-something seem so much more attainable.I am on my way to actually reaching my goal! I would adjust the ticker but I have forgotton the password at the moment.I am too giddy to fiddle right now!
In other news, I joined WW online.I am certainly getting an education.I figured banana chips were good because they were dried fruit.WRONG.I ate a half a days points just snacking.I will see how it goes for the next 3 months and by then i will either have the system down pat or will love it so much bcause of my success that I will want to keep it up!
on the agenda today is an elliptical work out,painting the kitchen and then maybe a pilates workout.The more I sweat the less I am needing the Lexapro.yay endorphins.
I am wondering what my goal prize shall be/ maybe I'll ask Sir.

Enough is enough

As you can see...anyone that has stuck around through my absence,that blog is, I have neglected this poor blog.It has been over two months and I have gained and lost the same 6 pounds. Admittedly it has been quite rough.I had been taking care of my terminally ill Grandma,then she had a stroke.It was already difficult because she had a poor appetite.The Stroke caused swallowing difficulty as well as aphasia.She was placed in hospice one week after the stroke and died two days later.During all of this I was trying to go to school,working on a new relationship, as well as jugglin work, kids and home remodelling!
I forgot! I went back to the ED so my schedule changed, I overhauled my bathroom, along with other house updates.I had a man fall through the kitchen ceiling during one of these updates.
I am working out 1 -2 hours a day this week.Partly I think to keep my mind off mourning.I don't know how much weight loss is ideal.I am putting one foot in front of another and going til my body rocks! I will write more this week.I will have a weight loss breakthrough! I will see my collar bones!I will love my arms!I will love my thighs!
