Today's weight is 155.6. That's 2 pounds down from yesterday and 4.6 down overall. Interestingly, it is also exactly what I weighed after getting back from the gym yesterday. Now, I realize that this large drop rate won't continue. It is mostly "water weight", but why should that matter? I see the numbers going down and I already feel better, with so much less of the bloated, sluggish feeling I was having.
Yesterday I managed to both get to the gym (not a world-shaking workout but I did get in 45+ minutes at an average moderate pace, run-walking on the treadmill) and I also stayed within my points range, so I feeel successful. Now back to school for he final day of state testing. We will all be so much much happier when it's done.

on a downward path
Today's weight is 157.6, which is down 2.6 pounds from yesterday but still above Sunday's final pig-out day weight of 157.2. Nevertheless, I prefer to be positive and see only the improvement. I managed to stay on plan all day yesterday. I was actually 3 points over my goal points, but I still consider that a victory as it's the best I've done in a long time.
I didn't manage to get to the gym yesterday. I got home and decided to deal with the housecleaning and laundry and then focused on trying to be organized on the final weeks of school. I keep altering my plans for the end of year, post-government mandated tests curriculum and needed to make a decision and plan. Being organized keeps me focused.
Today is the second to last day of stupid state testing,and is in fact, the test in my subject.I will feel better when it's done and there's no more I can do about it for this year. Today I will get to the gym and I will stay on plan and I will get back to my happy weight. On with the day.

not the best start
Well, it seems tht eating whatever crap I felt like because I planned to restart Weight Watchers the next day, plus not getting enough sleep, made for a bad start. Today's morning weigh in was 160.2. That's utterly disgusting and very much a needed motivator.How could I have gotten to nearly 17 pounds above my base goal? I really feel like a pig.
With any luck, something will at least look good on me today as I head off to school.The gym and steam room are a must this afternoon and so is a very good, cleansing eating plan to help me off to a better start.

later that same day...
I went to the gym-25 minutes of weight training and 45 minutes on the treadmill. Post gym weight is 156.4.
I am having some fruit and veggie heavy smoothie right now and feel pretty good about things.

last and first day
I have recently regained weight, basically due to overeating as a result of stress. My "good"weight is 145, but I like tostay within 143-148. This morning I weighed in at 157.2. This makes me feel like crap and probably look like crap. I know that what I need to do is refocusn on Weight Watchers, which works great for me. The first time I tried it was when I needed to lose baby weight. I was about 65 pounds overweight. Using Weight Watchers I lost it all in about 7 months and felt great. I kept it off for years, but then overwork overtook me and I found myself at 175. That was last fall. So I reemabarked on WW and got backdown into the happy zone of 145 +/- 3 pounds.
Then came the bad times when the economy caused job losses. I was handed a prelininary pink slip and spent a month waiting to discover if I would still have a job. Even finding out I would not be on the final layoff didn't help as I still felt the stress of what the loss of others would due to our school; I'm a teacher.
So this morning I saw the numbers and realized that my jeans were tight, always a bad sign even if the weight seems low. So I need to get back on plan with a vengeance and start to feel good again. There is nothing I can do about the layoffs, b ut I can work to iprove myself; physically, emothionally and financially.I need the positivity that only the young of mind truly feel, hence the goal of being "forever youngish".
I think recording my progress can be helpful. If I put my goals and weight and resons for eating in a permanent then perhaps I can prevent myself from letting food control me. After all, Ben and Jerry's is not actually help improve my life, but veggies and exercise will.
OK, today off to the gym and to start eating better and tomorrow full start on WW.
