Howdy folks-
Weight Watchers had it's perks and downfalls today. Thanks to planning ahead, I made it to my 10am meeting rather than the 12:15pm meeting. I prefer the 10am meeting because I get the meeting done somewhat earlier in the day, plus there are more people at the 12:15pm meeting and it takes longer to get weighed. The personalities at the 12:15pm meeting are better though. Some select ladies at 10am totally control the conversation and brag half the time so I easily tune out and don't pay attention well. One lady in particular talked and talked today about all the compliments she gets at her gym. Who wants to speak up and talk about their successes when you hear a woman bragging about running 7 miles at the gym? The leader wants to hear about large and small successes but the atmosphere completely changes when people brag constantly. Blah. Part of me wants to just weigh in and leave from now on because I'm not learning anything earth shattering at the meetings lately.
That being said, I have lost 3.6 pounds this week so I'm back at 270 lbs. I didn't do a great job tracking my weight this week. I was very conscious about what was going into my mouth and when but I didn't total up points most days. Luckily, by running at night I decrease my appetite so snacking hasn't been so much of an issue. I'm really excited to reach my 20 lbs goal now.
I also got a pleasant surprise last night when I ran on the treadmill and used my heart rate monitor for the first time in years. The treadmill itself was recognizing the signal so I didn't have to stare at the small watch to see my beats per minute. I didn't expect this as the treadmill manual stated that only heart rate monitors of the same brand (can't remember the brand at the moment) work with the treadmill. I'm glad that Polar monitors seem to be so universal.
I should probably work soon but I want to lay out my goals quick.
1) I will continue to work out 4-5 days a week if not more. I typically take Thursdays off as a treat for doing well with Weight Watchers. I also take Friday or Saturday off since it's the weekend and I feel entitled.
2) I will try to sleep by 11pm each night. Some nights I can handle this...some nights falling asleep is a bitch.
3) We will only eat out 1-2 times a week. I'd like one of those times to be breakfast at The Cafe before Gavin goes to school. It's a great bonding time and great food.

Jenny, congratulations on 3.6 pounds...that is absolutely wonderful! I am so very happy for you. Don't worry about the bragger in the 10 a.m. class, what you're doing on the treadmill is an excellent accomplishment and you should be very proud. If you keep it up you'll be doing 7 miles some day (and you'll have the courtesy and good sense not to go bragging about it to a room full of women who are trying to get on the wagon). Keep up the awesome work, it's great motivation for us all!
