20110117 - Week 1

Monday Weigh-in - Week 1

217.6 lbs

Starting weight

IT'S BACK ON - THE WEIGHT THAT IS....

Alright! Time to get honest and serious!!

Last year I was going to weight watchers and lost a total of over 75 lbs...I then stopped paying to go to weight watchers decided that I could do this on my own.

At this point, after getting on the scale this am, I have realized that I have put over 30 lbs BACK ON!!!!!!! This is HORRIBLE...I am sad and mad and ticked off at myself but I also realize that I have to now be honest and go back to tracking everything....so that is what I will do....

This blog has been a friend and a place to vent; a place to write on recovery and daily life; a place to document the lives of myself and my family members; and it will now be a place to document my weight loss SUCCESS!!!!

So, if you care to, join me in my journey where I track each day what I eat and my exercise and my WEIGHT LOSS weekly with a Monday weeky weigh in!

HERE WE GO - PLEASE COME ALONG FOR THE RIDE...I THINK I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

THANKS AS ALWAYS AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

I am noticing a very scary trend and frankly it is terrifying for me!!!

I have tried three different grocery stores in my area over the past week (Giant Eagle/Foodland/Shop n Save) and also Costco and there is not a Pomegranate to be found!!!

What gives - I thought they were in season now???

I love love love these things and wish I knew what is up with this.....

Anyone else notice this scary trend - is there a shortage in your area?!??!?!

Jackson's Mill Weekend and New Pet

I was at Jackson's Mill (in Weston, WVa) for the weekend for a conference with my bestest buddy Sherry and it was AMAZING! I used to go all the time and I had not attended for the past couple of years - now I remember what I was missing!
We had such a great time!
The theme was Trust God, Clean House, Help Others!
What an amazing and fun-filled weekend with old friends and new friends - soooo much fun and fellowship and SNOW - it snowed wayyy more in WVA than in PA so we left a winter wonderland to come home to brown grass with a little frost - LOL!!!

I ate in the Family style Dining Hall most of the weekend with the exception of Saturday night when a bunch of us all got together and went out to dinner at Minards in Clarksburg, WVa. It was amazing food and fun also - here are all the pics!

Dan, Laren, Eric and Dave at Minards

Never heard this one...up with all the others like "Think, Think, Think" and "Easy Does It" - someone is trying to create a new slogan???? LOL!!!


Dan (T.O.P.) feeding Sherry...kinda scarrrrrrrry...

Winter wonderland - sooooo pretty - from our balcony!

Another...

And another...

And another....all this snow and I did not have ANY boots!!!!

Leaning down to show the pretty decorations on our balconies...the lights came on at night...soooo pretty!

And finally.....I got a new addition to my family on Sunday....his name is Cat Treat (he is a Crowntail Male Beta) and he is sooooo cute...I am teaching him to meow as I think that will throw the cats off and they will think he is one of them!

Enjoy Monday and have a great week all!!!!!
