Face It Friday: An Anniversary, A Loss & A Thank You

Celebrate Good Times C'mon!!

That's right party people! Things are looking on the up and up since last week's post. YAY!!!

Today's weigh-in meant a lot to me. No it isn't the anniversary of getting to Onderland, hitting goal or becoming Lifetime. It is the one-year anniversary of recommitting to my health.

Don't Put Me Down For...

Don't Put Me Down For...

I saw this shirt on a girl running along the Charles River the other day! I wanted to steal it from her... then I figured if I wanted one that badly I could always buy my own.

Why did I like it so much? Because I HATE when folks put others down for their workout choices. I support folks doing WHATEVER they enjoy during as exercise.

Face It Friday: Non-Scale Victories, Weigh-In Results & A New Mantra

Last week kicked off with a 4.4 pound gain and some self-talk/motivation.

I actually did wear one of my Momentum Jewelry bracelets each day as a visual reminder of my goals for the week and it paid off. Seeing it on my arm kept me connected to Weight Watchers and what I wanted to accomplish.

Face It Friday: A Large Gain, A Reality Check & Motivation

Face It Friday: A Large Gain, A Reality Check & Motivation

I thought about hiding away from the scale. I feel like a broken record, but I have been struggling recently to find my mojo. I would really like to know where it is hiding. Have you seen it?

Clearly I have the activity part in check...

I am the one bringing chips in the house under the guise that I can "have on serving." Well one serving is turning into 3 servings. But I say to myself "you are weighing and measuring it so that's okay." Ummmm no self. Just no.

So it is time to kick my own booty back into gear. Today is a fresh start.

Three Things Thursday: Post-Back Surgery Comparison, Leaping & A Womans Only Sprint Tri

How the heck is it Thursday? I ask that because in the middle of my Weight Watchers meeting this morning I loudly said something about it being Wednesday then the whole room corrected me. Later in the afternoon I asked for a dog washing appointment for my pup for tomorrow then corrected the girl when she said tomorrow was Friday. I said it would be Saturday.

Ummm can we still blame this confusion on Ragnar? I'm saying #VanBrain and going with it.

Since I feel all over the place this week, I figured Three Things Thursday should work the same way.

Let's Do This!
