I started Weight Watchers right after the New Year. I had been planning it for a couple of months because when we arrived home after our cruise I realized that my backside was not the size it once was!
I think I have tried every diet known to man. I think I have lost thousands of pounds over the last 49 years of my life. This time I decided that I needed something more permanent, something akin to AA, because yes, I am a food addict. I love to cook and I love to eat!
So I started. My first meeting was scary, but I went and weighed in and made it through. I came home planning each and every thing I would eat the next day and I started keeping a food journal.
And little by little, inch by inch, pound by pound, the weight started to come off. I did very well in January and February and then March and April were sort of slow, but my weight loss has picked up again and as of last Wednesday I have now lost 29.8 pounds!
I have 23 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight, and I feel pretty sure that I can and will do it. Spring is here, I’m doing more things outside, I will start my seeds for the garden tomorrow and plant them outside on the first of June, just before the puppies come. (That is, if Greta is, in fact, pregnant)
Hubby is taking a real notice of my weight loss and I think he likes the new slender me! Or perhaps I just like myself a little better. I wasn’t happy with the extra weight and I sure feel better about myself now.
So I am a happy, slimming woman, whose dog is possibly pregnant. Does life get any better than that?
Congratulations! (Oh, and what could be better than a pregger dog and the weight loss? Winning lottery numbers would be nice!) 😀
No, it can’t lol ! and for me too, yesterday I took out my laptop under the new suntent and sat there the whole afternoon blogging and watching my cats playing in the sun ! Then my friend (and neighbor) came over and we had a glass of wine together ! Spring is great !!
You should read on my blog today what happened to me ! A prove that the world is really small !
Way to go! I wish I could say the same thing a few weeks from now! I am not with Weight Watchers but religiously doing cardio, weights and carefully watching my diet. This should work, right?
Happy for you, Maribeth!
