1 month on the wagon

Yep, I've stayed and maintained on the wagon for a month! Feels like longer, and definitely feels like one of those covered wagons being pulled by horses going 5 MPH.... SLOW! I've accepted it, and as slow as it's going I am sticking to it.

As of today as I weighed in, I am down 9.4 pounds according to WW.  I am down a couple more pounds according to my scale but I am mostly just sticking to the official weigh in amount.

My job starts in a little over 2 1/2 weeks, and I hit my goal of fitting back in my scrub pants! Last week actually!

My next goal, lose 10% of my weight. 

Keep on truckin.. my elliptical is in over drive!   

A Little Late..

Week 1 felt a little brutal at times, mostly because I felt hungry and a little grumpy because of it! After week one of counting my points, I weighed in at -3.8, not too shabby considering I ate out 3 times, was able to go on a date with Brian, and attend a birthday party where I even had a little birthday cake! I know this was the first week, and it will get harder and losing almost 4 pounds won't be happening again, but it kept me motivated. I have felt great this week though! I have to force myself to eat all my points because I'm not feeling hungry anymore!

I will be weighing in on Tuesday this week, I have been working out a ton in Texas, but I'm also eating some really good food! So we'll see how I weigh in!  I hope to be at least one pound down, but I also want to enjoy some of my favorite places to eat!

Being a nurse makes me a hypochondriac, I'm scared to go outside at and after dusk in fear of West Nile Virus... This makes it really hard to run/walk outside after it cools down!

Painted on Scrubs...

Yep, indeed looking down a few entries, I posted a picture of desserts is stressed backwards... During nursing school, I let it all go! Picked up pizza on the way home many many times, pretty much ditched cooking, but picked up baking, enjoyed drinking after a hard test (which ended up being once or twice a week!) which has lead me to a not so fappy state of being... Fat and happy has left the building, while fat still lingers.

As I was pulling out my pre-nursing school scrubs, I tried them on and whoa, they look painted on! This was just the icing on the cake, as last week I went looking for clothes for an interview and couldn't find a dang thing that fit or looked good...Even better, one store had my size available online only. Seriously? I hit that point? Don't worry, I'm cracking down.

Yesterday, I stepped into my first weight watcher meeting in about 6 or 7 years, also tipping the scale at an all time high. But that's ok, I am here to say and commit myself to taking it off.  I don't need to be a supermodel, but I do need to feel comfortable in my skin and right now... I'm not. 

My goal is to lose 43 pounds. sounds like a lot, but I'll be at a much healthier weight. But damn, I love food, which is why WW is best for me. I can splurge when I want, but keep everything else under control.

I am out of school, I landed a job, and I want to get pregnant, but not until I can loose some weight. So here's to week one!

First goal: lose 5% -- 9lbs.

Here's to looking good...with painted on clothes.
