My Second Appointment

So last night, I had my 2nd appointment with the dietician. I was nervous about going back! Especially since last week I totally ate like a hog. I was sick so didn't bother eating healthy and by the time the weekend came around I felt like crap! I guess my body is getting used to this eating healthy thing and kinda rebelled when I fed it junk food...and a LOT of it. Let's see...pizza, cheesy bread, chicken kickers, those cupcakes with the icing in the middle, danishes, 2 bean & cheese burritos ...I didn't eat all of this at the same time. But I did eat it all within 5 days. Man I felt bad. So I confessed to the dietician that I had not been eating how I should. Ok, confessed some of it. I just summed it all up as 'a bunch of junk food'. Plus I didn't exercise from Wednesday to Sunday, so I felt extra unhealthy. I told my dietician 'C' about the lack of exercise. I was expecting to get scolded or a look or something. She told me she was impressed. I'm pretty sure I had the 'huh?' look on my face. So I again tell her, I didn't eat like I was supposed to and didn't exercise everyday. So, I guess she didn't expect me to do amazingly. She told me not to beat myself up. I'm back on track and that's what counts. Her goal for me was to exercise 10 minutes/day for at least 3 days/week. My first 2 weeks I exercised 20 min every day and 3rd/4th weeks it was 30 min/day for everyday except that Wednesday-Sunday stretch. I think 'C' is most impressed that I get up so early in the morning to fit in the exercise.

Sorry guys..I'm sure this is exciting for you ..but I'm still writing it.

First week on weightwatchers I lost 4 pounds. Then I went to the dietician and changed the way I was eating again. I've been trying to mix the dieticians recommendations along with the weight watchers program. So needless to say I was SOOOO frustrated the 2nd week when I melded the 2 together and gained 2 pounds. I followed the program faithfully, plus I felt hungry the whole time and wanted to scream & cry & have a tantrum like a little baby because I was always feeling hungry plus I had gained that weight. When you're trying to lose weight...gaining 2 pounds is horrid!! It usually takes me 2 weeks to lose that amount of weight. But I'm doing better this week. I've lost a total of 8 pounds...it seems rather pitiful to me to lose only that amount in 5 weeks. But I have only myself to blame. I didn't have to eat the pizza, cheesy bread, danishes, cupcakes, a yummy & delicious beavertail, etc. But I guess there's no sense in beating myself up. I'm back on the bandwagon and I may not be perfect and may mess up everynow and then but I'm committed to getting healthy. It's going to take time to lose this weight and get healthy...but I guess anything worthwhile is worth the working towards.

So my goal is to lose a total of 25lbs by my birthday. That's July 7th. So wish me luck. I'm going to need it because that pizza & chocolate keep calling my name! LOL...mmm, chocolate...
