This Blog/Blogger was on Vacation....

My poor blog is so sad.  No posting lately!  And sadly, this blogger has been "off the wagon".  Time to get things BACK ON TRACK!

Time to get down and dirty with the points tracker and the big water mug and start a regular exercise routine again.  Time to get some running events scheduled for the fall and start training.  Got to whip this girl back into shape!

Three Years at Goal... Celebrate?

Where did the time go?  Has it really been three years? Yep.  This past Sunday marked the three years anniversary of the date I reached goal with Weight Watchers.  No big parties, no balloons. Been too sick with that.  Haven't even gone for a run in a week.  You KNOW I'm sick if I'm not running.

Think it's kind of strange that I'm still celebrating reaching goal?  Well, I intend to celebrate it every year, and yes, I will be doing something special for myself..  Just haven't yet figured out what that is.  Ideas?

 

Focusing on Tracking

I admit that my tracking has been far less than it should be, and lately, I'm trying to retrain myself.  It's hard!

But the past few days, I have tracked everything, and tried to make wiser choices.  Do I really need to have that toast with breakfast?  Is it going to keep me satisfied through the morning?  No.  So I've been choosing to eat more protein, less bread carbs, and also up my fruit and veggie intake.

This weekend will be my 3-year anniversary of reaching goal with Weight Watchers.  The memory of that day is still so crystal clear in my mind.  That's a good thing, because I never want to forget that feeling.

There are a few pounds that keep creeping back on though, and I'm fighting hard to figure out why.  But with all the things I have learned from Weight Watchers, I am able to hang on and not let go.  I know how to handle it, and I know that I have all the tools necessary to stay at a healthy weight for the rest of my life!

Need More Time to Run

There aren't enough hours in the day lately to squeeze everything in.  This week will be a perfect example with a very busy work week and gardening (although rainy days may take care of that), finishing up a "secret project", and what I really want to do, which is to run.

But I just have to manage my schedule the best I can to squeeze it all in, and if I can't, let it go.  No use fretting over what I can't change.  But I can change some things.  I can get up a little earlier in the morning.  I can stay focused, and I can let others take care of some things to free up time for myself.

So that's what I'm up to.  What I really want to do this week is run.  So I'll do everything I can to make that happen!
