Moving Forward

I told my friend Mandee that I like running because I'm moving forward. I put one foot in front of the other ever so slowly ;) and I MOVE FORWARD. It's hard, but I do it. That's why I love running!

I know I've been talking about losing weight for a long time. And "trying" to lose weight. How hard I've been trying is debatable. I know that what really keeps me on track is going to Weight Watchers meetings and tracking what I eat. I haven't been to a meeting since the end of Jan. Hmmm.... right around the time I lost my job and life kinda fell apart.

So on Sat. I went. I went and weighed in. I talked to my meeting leader and cried a little. I'm 13 pounds over goal weight and feeling it. I had to pay for the meeting since I'm over lifetime goal. And I don't really have the money to do it. Really. Lowe's gave me 10 hours this week and 15 next week. NOT good. BUT I have to do this. And once I get to 148 I won't have to pay anymore! Goal weight is 146 but I can be 2 lbs over.

I weighed in at 159.2. I had eaten Panda Express the night before so most of that must have been bloating since I weighed in this morning at 155-something. I will be happy if I can stay at 155 throughout the weekend. I have a bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding this weekend!

I wanted to share my new favorite snack. String Cheese and Turkey Pepperoni! Turkey pepperoni tastes better to me and you can eat 17 for 70 calories.

What's your favorite snacks? This week hasn't been so hard because I haven't been working but when I do work and take breaks in the break room, the vending machine glares at me. Ding Dongs, chocolate donuts, more ding dongs, Twix, M&Ms, chips, soda.... you get the point. I've never been tempted by vending machines but when it's there all the time it's hard. I never drink soda but when everyone else is drinking soda and I'm tired, it's tempting. Maybe I should try some Crystal Light so I have something sweet to drink.

For those of you wanting to join my team I am gettting the info for you! I have to finish this author project for my literature class, before work at 5 so I better go!
