Happy Easter!

So today is Easter Sunday. This means alot of things to me. It is a cornerstone for my faith and life as a Christian. It is symbolic and a source of fun memories.


It means a big meal with my family, getting cute easter baskets from my mom *yes, still, I know I'm 20...*, and this year : watching what I eat. Normally I'd load up on Paska *mmmm* but I'll actually have to count and weigh my food a bit. Awh well, that's nothing. I'm thankful that my stomach shrank a bit- it must have. I can't physically eat half as much as I used to-and this is a wonderful thing. Otherwise I'd be packing in half the ham, a dozen deviled eggs, and allll the chocolate I can find. Actually, I'm more excited for the Peeps.


I can see why people get worked up and worried over holiday food-they want it all and know they shouldn't or can't. But thats fine. It's ONLY FOOD. I think it's important to enjoy food, to savour it, but to recognize that it's only food. What a concept. It took me 20 years to realize that food isn't some AMAZING WONDERFUL END-ALL BE-ALL thing. It is God given to nourish our bodies, give us fuel, and yes, to give us a little treat now and then. I know it will kind of suck to not eat the amount of food I'm used to, but I'll get over it. And my body will thank me.
Happy Easter to all who read!

WI- AWESOME!

Okay so I lost .8 this week, which was so unexpected! If you read my last post, you will see that I have been completely off plan for the past 2 weeks or so. I am so happy to have lost at all! I was expecting a gain.
But this is just a wake-up call that I *could* be doing better, but also that I *should* be doing better. I should be tracking, I should be caring about what I put in my mouth, I do need to tighten the reigns a bit.
So here I go, week 13 is GOING to be an OP week.
Also, I changed my layout. The last one was cute, but not functional at all.

Awful Awful Awful!

It has been a baaaaaad 2 weeks for me, weight watchersly speaking, that is. I've been busy and had lots of fun, thats great! But my eating has been OUT OF CONTROL! I quit tracking altogether for the most part. I haven't been getting my GHG'S. The only things I have been getting are water and..multivitamins. Ack I have to pick up the pace!
I hit my first 20 pound loss this past week and thought "whoo hoo, good for me, I can ease up..." only that was totally the wrong thing to do! I need to work harder to make sure I don't keep adding those one pound gains. Okay, so I've only had one gain, but even so. I want to avoid them as much as I can!
I can't wait for my weigh in tomorrow. Not because I want to see my gain/loss, but because I want to start another week fresh! My sister joined last week and has a bit of weight to lose. She has dropped TONS of weight since she had her baby 4 weeks ago, but she's still got a fair ways to go. I want to be able to be supportive and a good "example" *how corny*. But its true.
I refuse to say "hopefully I'll do better this week". Because I WILL do better. I KNOW I will. I have to.
