Weight Watchers

-
Today is my weigh in day for Weight Watchers. I had a pretty good week though I didn't get in as much exercise as I should. It was such a busy, rainy week. I'll have to be more diligent.

I got on the scale this morning and lost 2 lbs. for a grand total of.......

10 lbs.!

That's not too bad for only 3 weeks. I feel like I still have so far to go but I'm happy with what I've done to date.

I'll keep you posted next Sunday.

    Terri, congratulations! I hope this encourages you to stick with it. My daughter has been doing WW for a while now and has hit a loss of 22 pounds...she's almost reached her 10%! (Yes, she's a big girl--with dreams of being a police officer, so she needs to lose the weight.)
    She looks amazing, as I'm sure you do, too! She's very concientious about her 'points' and told me, "if I'd known it was going to be this easy, I would have done it years ago!" I can even see a change in her personality as she grows healthier.
    Keep going, you're doing great!
    BTW--did I say 'thanks' for the nice comment about my blouse? Well...'thanks'!

    Congrats Terri! Great job.

    I need to get back on the exercising this week. It has been a while since I have walked and broke a sweat. I have been walking with the kids, but not really exercising.

    Can't wait to see pictures of your smaller self!

    Hi Phoebe, I find it very easy to follow. I'm only doing the online program and I'm following the points system. The neat thing is that you can enter in one of your recipes and how many servings and it will calculate the points for you.

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
