Slow progress is good progress?

I am right around 207#.Twice this week I have been 206.2# but I bounce back up so I do not know if I should count it.I sabotage myself I discovered. If I have a great number I allow myself treats and then the next one is back up again. I need to figure out how to be motivated by the dip and keep going instead of using it as a reason to slack.
I am working a ton and my exercise routine has suffered.I am not able to get to zumba and have not had the energy for the elliptical.I have done yoga but it is not enough!. In two weeks the workload should lighten and I can resume my level of activity.I do also have to admit I could push myself to work out but I have been reluctant to put in the effort.Is it the winter blahs?
Here is to a better post next time!

keeping track

I have lost control of my little widgets that show my progress.Somehow the little turtle is not moving to show progess! I like it when the turtle moves, even a little bit.I read on facebook one of my former co-workers has lost 6 pounds this week on WW.I want a huge drop! Admittedly I went away over the weekend and had a long drive and no computer access to keep track but I am sure I went over my daily allowance.I know I did not go over my weekly points though.I have not touched my activity points. I do not menstruate and lose track of my hormonal fluctuations and get snarky when I had a slight gain.I had an aha moment when I felt low abd cramps and was a bit tired.Unofficial weigh in today is 208.4.that means only 9 pounds until I am under 2 freaking hundered.
What will I do as a reward?? not food.I am going to lag on clothes because I am planning/hoping on doing some waredrobe makeover this summer.I want to wear the bikini I bought but have never worn due to embarrassment over my body.
Yesterday I had a sweat drenching workout on the elliptical.I kicked it!It is the first time I have reached over 500 Kcal in 30 minutes.Today was zumba.Dang I am sore.I think it is this not so wonderful cold.Thankfully it was sunny today making it somewhat tolerable.Winter can be beaten back to its cave anytime now.
i am pondering doing the couch to 5 k program.Running and I aren't exactly on speaking terms but the people who run seem to love it and I have read it is a kick ass love vibe for your body.Hm.i like kick ass body idea.
I will have to get used to the idea that I will never be able to eat without thinking about everything that goes in my mouth.My body loves to hold onto all those extra calories.All that garbage that My body DOES NOT need. I would not pour koolaid in a performance auto.i will not pollute my personal vehicle!
