Last entry

This will probably be my last entry as I have struggled to get that 5% off. I bounce around that number, but don't think I can get it all off by Saturday. I'll continue to follow Weight Watchers and do my lunch time walking. Once I am off the emotional roller coaster of divorce, I know I will do less emotional eating.

Cheers

Walking

Finally, nice weather! I have been able to get put and walk! Once with the boys to the elementary school. Also, at work, during lunch, I have been able to get 3 miles in twice this week!
Weigh in was rough. I am up a tiny bit. Really need to commit these next 3 weeks to meet that 5%! I can do it!

Happy Easter

One week from weigh in, really trying hard to stay on track! Rough workout this morning. Prefer to do on empty stomach. Bathing suit vacation in 75 days!!!

Blog

St. Patrick's Day was made healthy with small serving of corned beef to get that yummy flavor and big portions of carrots and cabbage. Then sugar free, skim, pistachio pudding to round out dessert. Really anxious for the weather to break so I can get out and walk with the kids.

Avoiding McDonalds

As you know from previous blogs, McDonalds is my Achilles heel. I got hooked during my first pregnancy and now it is my emotional crutch when weathering stress. I pass by one every night when I leave from work. My new strategy is to leave work another route, longer, but healthier. In
Meeting with Cori from the Heath department, we devised strategies like having a snack late afternoon at work and having something in the car for the drive home.
I have been meeting my goal of exercising 3 days/week and am looking to increase this over the next month.

Weigh in

Saturday was weigh in. Of course, I would have liked a bigger loss, I ended up with slightly over 5 lbs. I've been trying to follow weight watchers and do really good all day until dinner. After working 10 hours on my feet, I am hungry and exhausted. I have over an hour to an hour and a half before I can even get dinner made for myself and it's pushing 9:30 , so many a night those golden arches beckon. :(
