Weekly Weigh In ~ 2/19/20

Last week I was at the end of my rope with WW and I did end up cancelling my subscription.

I've been going between using www.sparkpeople.com and using a notebook.

Spark People is a lot like the WW website but is free.  BUT, there are advertisements that seems to bog down my loading time.  I've been playing around with it for a few days and don't miss the WW website or app at all.

Exercise has been sporadic as I went a bit rogue for a week with my diet and exercise.  Kaylee and I did go outside for a walk today as the sun was shining.  It ended up being a bit chilly with the wind factor but it felt so good to get outside in the sun!

I also got a new digital scale to weigh in on Friday mornings at home.  I'll see how it goes...

I'd like to thank those who commented last week with their encouragement and love.  It means a lot :)

Now,

On to the weigh in:

WW Starting Weight ~ 7/27/19 ~ 290.8 lbs
2020 Starting Weight ~ 12/28/19 ~ 270.2 lbs

Last Week's Weight ~ 2/8/20 ~ 271.6 lbs

This Week's Weight ~ 2/14/20 ~      272.0 lbs

This Week's Total:    +0.4 lbs

Grand Total: -18.8 lbs

I'll be weighing in on Saturdays and posting my results on Wednesday.  If you'd like to join in on the journey, I'd love to have some weight loss friends!

Weekly Weigh In ~ 1/12/19

Well, my grand start to the New Year has not been so grand :(:


I turns out that just because the calendar changes, bad habits don't magically disappear.


My word for the year is discipline and I confess that I have not had much discipline so far this year.  I hope to change that.


Persistence; not perfection.

Weekly Weigh In ~ 12/29/18

My goal for the past couple weeks was to maintain.  I'm fairly pleased that I only gained a smidge over Christmas.

My plan for 2019:

My plan for 2019 is to lose 50 lbs.  1 lb. per week.  That's what I'm striving for!


I'm going to be using www.sparkpeople.com to track my food and exercise.  It is very much like WW online but FREE!


Food:  My plan is to cut out snacking and junk food and only eat at meal times and have the occasional cheese stick for snack.


Exercise:  I'd like to try to get at least 4 workouts in using the Leslie Sansone walking DVD collection that I've added to over the years.  I'll start out "walking" 2 miles which takes approximately 25-30 minutes.

How was your week?  What are your fitness goals for 2019?

Thankful Thursday ~ 12/20/18

 

~Laken had her Christmas Band Concert last Thursday evening.  It was her very first concert performance and she was a bit nervous!  She started playing the flute last year (lessons only) but this was the first year she was able to be in Concert Band.  We got her all gussied up and she did great!  I love going to Christmas Concerts.  It makes my Christmas so much jollier :)

~I actually took the time to paint my fingernails!  I used to get manicures at a salon but gave that up due to the cost.  Now, I usually keep my fingernails cut short but they have gotten a little bit of length to them recently.  I really wanted to paint them a nice, Christmassy red but only have summer colors  :(  I finally picked out a pale pink from my collection and gave them a few coats :)


~I've been "off" for quite a few weeks, as my cousin Steph had broken her collar bone and was off work.  Monday was her first day back to work, so I'm back on duty.  I get Dex ready for school and he gets on the bus with Laken.  Damon gets to hang out with me and Kaylee for the day on M-W-F.  He is such a ham :)

~I rejoined Sparkpeople.com to track my food and exercise.  It is a lot like WW online but FREE! 


~My Mom, Laken, Kaylee and I have started making cookies and fudge for Christmas.  So far we've started with Sugar Cookie cut-outs.  Today we're making Chocolate Chip Cookies and "Almond Joy Cookies" (a recipe I found on Facebook).  We're also making Nut Horns, M&M Cookies, Chocolate Fudge and Peanut Butter Fudge.  :)

What are you thankful for today?
