I'm really liking this whole blog thing...i used to be a journaller long long time ago and this is just as theraputic...although it is wayyyyyyy more public (i think, if anyone is actually reading this?)

soooooo...like i just posted on the message boards with my group "Mommies and me" (which i soooooo love, the girls on there keep me motivated and totally rock...what a great tool to help assist in keeping you accountable!!!) it's the next best thing to having joined WW meetings with a friend (which didn't happen, but at least there are a great amount of local ladies that drive into town for the meetings!)...anywho, as i was saying, like i just posted on the message boards, i am making a "back burner" goal of being a success story!
i just finished reading yet another inspiring success story and whatever that "je ne ce-quoi" *sp?* is that those people have in getting and maintaining their goal weight, is something that i know i have in me, now i just have to remember that i have it and not lose it along the way for those low times (aka plateaus that are inevitable)!!!
my short term goal right now is to just get to my 10% weight goal of 178.4 and GET MY CONTACT LENSES!!! originally i thought of buying a pretty lil sundress for the hubby's upcoming homecoming/school closure event happening in july, but i will be continueing to lose weight/dress sizes so that's a no go til that event gets closer (although i'm pretty nervous about the whole clothes shopping experience, but more on that later!)
and i just looked up in my book what my 10% goal was and they have it wrong at 173.25 ??? i think it's cuz i joined two weeks before the new "intake rotation" started then i prepaid and got a whole new book and they used that weeks weight as my start weight...i should get that clarified next week and also check to see if they have the passwords in for accessing the e-tools on the website...last week i asked and they didn't have any so they had to order more...i love the website but i need the meetings as i don't have a credit card so i can't do the online program even if i wanted to (which after this 12 week rotation, i was thinking about doing....but i guess not)...oh well!

so it is day four and i have only used 3 wp's and i have accumulated 12 ap's so far...i plan on not touching those ap's if at all possible and as long as i don't go too deep into my wp's tonite i should have plenty for tomorrow nite (have a church supper/silent auction that we get to attend, but we were supposed to be going to a friend's baby's birthday celebration, which is now postponed to next friday nite)...sooooo i know we are having fried chicken for supper tomorrow so as long as i eat lite during the day, i shouldn't really dip too heavily into those wp's...then i have all day monday and most of the day tuesday to drink a tonne of water and flush the ol' system and stick to using just my dp's (which during the week is sooo easy to stick to)
i wonder why it is that the weekends are sooo lax, altho way way back when i used to have the mentality that once the weekend hit, it was party time (and oh boy i used to party it up!!!another reason for the weight...darn alcohol and late nite bingeing! not to mention the hangover cure of mickey d's french fries the next day!!!lol) ...at least i don't do that do myself anymore...being grownup has really changed my priorities! but i still think of it as a lax time ie. feast time when it comes to meals/snacks!
i should really try to change that thinking...something to work on i guess...
well...enough of this , i have to vaccuum and actually fold the clean clothes that have been clean for the past two days...lol....oh, and the kitchen needs a good cleaning...someday i will get to the spring cleaning of the rest of the house too!
oh hey, did i mention that i'm going to be joining the women's fastball team again this year...i had last year off as i was pregnant with Tobin, and the year before was awesome except for i never did bat a ball...wayyyyyy faster than the slo-pitch i was used to from years ago...lol...
laters!!!
