Officially down 4.2 pounds :D

Saturday, January 15, 2011

Two weeks ago, I restarted my journey. And then I swallowed my pride and I rejoined WW meetings on January 5 - yup, I'm most definitely a meeting person. It was a very hard first step to go to that meeting and step on that scale, but I'm glad I did it. Some people just do better with the structure and I'm one of them.

I'm a paper person too and am loving my brand new 3 month journal :D Tracking my food again and it's working. My first week on their new program and as of Jan 12 I officially lost 4.2 pounds. Wahoo! So far so good.

It's been very cold here this last week - cold and snowy - yesterday the windchill was -36. Brrrrrrr a very cold wait for the bus. So this weekend I'm very content staying inside and hibernating. And it's snowing again - sigh - we are running out of places to put the snow that we shovel. Our driveway feels like a tunnel with 6 foot high snow banks running on either side.

But on a bright note, I love the way it looks outside - all white and clean. It may be -24 degrees celcius right now but the snowflakes that are falling are so big and falling very gently. And if you can dress warm enough so the cold doesn't bother you, it's so quiet when walking; all you can hear is the snow crunching under your boots. And with all this snow, my apple trees will be a lot happier than last year in the spring :D

So today I'm going to putz in the house. I'll ride my elliptical to get some activity points and then putz some more. And then tonight, I'm going to knit. Nice calm evening at home in this winter wonderland :D

    I'm very glad to hear that you went to your meeting! Believe me, I know how hard it can be -- having done it myself much heavier than where you're starting from -- but that's why I advised it, cause I knew it works for you, like it works with for me. There' absolutely nothing wrong with a little help -- even when you have to pay for it.

    Good for you! What a great start. I miss our snow this year, we are hardly getting anything at all. Don't miss the -46 though.
Hugs and sparkles
