Today's Weight Watcher's Meeting

I joined Weight Watchers a few months ago because let's be honest, who wants to weigh 220lbs.? NOT ME! Up until a few weeks ago everything was going great. I was losing every week. Little by little the pounds were coming off. Until two weeks ago. I gained 0.4lb. back. OK! Less then half a pound. I can live with that. I had a big 4.4lbs. loss the week before so 0.4lb gain was ok with me. Last week I stayed the same. No loss. No gain. "At least I didn't gain!" I told myself. Everything was good. This morning I went to my meeting so sure the scale would tell me I had lost even a little weight. NO! I gained another 0.6lb.That puts me at a full pound gained back. Maybe it's because I was sick. Maybe it was the antibiotics. Maybe it's just the normal fluctuation of a woman's body. I don't know. What I do know is I'm not happy about it. Now that I'm feeling better I can get back into the gym and hopefully get back on track. I have even lowered my daily points plus allowance by a point. Let's see if that helps at all.

Complaining aside, I can be proud that I made it through the Bermuda Triangle of holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) with only a 1 pound gain. That's pretty awesome, right? So many of us easily pout on five or ten pounds this time of year. So one pound really shouldn't be anything to be upset about.

This week will see me back in the gym.
I will get back on track.
I will continue to lose weight!
I will make it back down to 150 pounds!
Or a size 12, whichever comes first.

Starting Off

Hello. Welcome to my blog!
I thought I'd give this a try.
Follow along as I continue my journey through this life of motherhood and housewife.

I have two little girls. Izzy is 2 and Zoe is 8 months old.
I have been married to my husband, Josh for 4 years.
Being a mother and a housewife is a far cry from who I was just a few years ago.
These times can be trying but they can also be beautiful.

I'm not sure how this will all unfold but hopefully I can hold back the Furies a little longer
