Day 2 was a disaster. i had a bad day emotionally and phsyically. i don't even want to think about it.

Food:

Chimichanga with avocado
1.5 tuna sandwiches with hot mustard and cheese
6 delicious wonderful cookies
6 cheese and kubasa and some crackers

Water:

56 ounces of water

Exercise:

Short 10 minute walk with friend after lunch

i'm creating healthy habits. i'm creating healthy habits. i'm creating healthy habits. really i am.

so i kinda went AWOL there for a few weeks. i saw success and i sabotaged myself. plain and simple.

now i'm back to baby steps.

& i'm okay with that.

Dinah's 28 Day Challenge

it takes 28 days to form a habit, so this my habit forming challenge. i don't think i've drank any water since i went awol. i haven't tracked a single food item. and my exercise has gotten VERY slack.

for 28 days i am going to:

1. track my food. i'm not going to worry about points and all that, i'm simply going to get into the habit of writing down everything that i eat and drink.
2. i'm going to drink 64 ounces of water a day.
3. i'm going to meet my monthly exercise goal of 1000 minutes in may with 2 strength training sessions a week (when i get to june i'll pick a new goal).

that's it, that's all i'm not going to worry about points and ww stuff, i'm simply going to do those 3 things to creat good habits.

i've been feeling sick all week. at first i thought it was the flu but then i started to think it was a cold and then my throat started to hurt and then it started to feel like a sinus infection. i'm blaming it all on the baby. he's been sick this week too and he's infected me i'm sure of it. needless to say my eating habits have not been good this week and i've not kept up with my water. i can't remember the last vegetable i ate. however, every time i step on my scale it says a lower number. on some level i know it's not permanent weight loss and it's just that it's just sickly-my-body-is-fighting-illnes-weight-loss and i'll gain it all back when i'm feeling better. i just wish it wasn't that way.

however, DayQuill and NyQuill are my new best friends. i'd have to say DayQuill is my first best friend and NyQuill is my second best friends.

it's great not being pregnant or nursing. i suffered through so many colds where i couldn't take anything. i'm loving the over the counter drugs.

all i have to say is DOWN 3.2 POUNDS.

i don't know how, but i was down. that brings my official ww weight to 237 pounds. i don't even remember the last time i was in the 230's. walking to the meeting i kept having to pull up my capri's which were always big on me (i got them right after i gave birth) but never this big. if i sucked in my belly they were going to seriously fall off. i think they should be retired but i love them so much and they're my only pair. i think i'll have to be purchasing another pair in a smaller size. :)

other than that nothing too interesting is happening. me and S are sickly, while the baby has somehow stayed healthy(ish). he does have a runny nose, but that's it. me and steve have this flu/cold/ulcerish thing. it sucks.

i've been very blog deliquent, the baby doesn't nap as much as he used to. it's getting harder and harder to sneak on here during the day to see what everyone's up to. i guess this is a sign of him growing up and getting older. time is sure flying.

my hitched bitch (kinda like secret santa, but in the middle of summer from my favorite message board www.hitched.ca) sent me about 8 back issues of the weight watchers magazine. i'm so looking forward to reading them. i'm going to save them and read them in the tub i think. a nice relaxing soak with a nice motivating read. thanks again to my wonderful bitch! :)

well the weekend was a bomb...again...as usual...yada yada yada. we ate out and got take out and i didn't exercise.

but all that aside, i stood on my scale this morning and it said 239. my scale has not said below 240 in years and years and years. i know the ww scale and my scale never agree (i think mine weighs higher) but at least it's a start, right?

i think i'm going to go to the weigh in on wednesday morning. if i do that then it's an excuse to walk to the meeting. if i go on tuesday nights i take the car b/c it's here and b/c it's nightime and i don't want to be walking around my neighbourhood by myself at night. it's about a half an hour walk and the baby loves walks so we're going to give it a try. and there's not as many people at the meeting. last week i think there was a dozen or so vs. the 75 people at the tuesday night one.

yesterday i had:

**2 glasses of SPRITE (the regular kind)
**1 glass of A&W ROOTBEER (again, the regular kind)
**1 glass of ICED TEA (yet again, the regular kind)

eeks, egads. that's 12 points right there. oh the sin, the sin.

say it with me now folks....diet, diet, diet, diet, diet, diet....

on the plus side i have a non-scale victory to report. yesterday i tried on some pants that i haven't been able to fit since before i was even pregnant. they were always tight. well yesterday they fit. and they weren't tight. i got so excited that i tried on the shirt that i always wore with it that hadn't fit properly long before the pants stopped. and the shirt frickin' fit!!!!! fuckin' A. so raegan if you're reading this, i'm going to wear it out saturday morning. you can tell me if it looks okay or if i'm kidding myself, right?

so today i was down 1.8 pounds making my official weight watcher weight 240.2. i am happy that i had a loss this week...2 weeks of gaining and maintaining was beginning to suck.

i keep having this feeling that weight watchers isn't cutting it for me anymore. like i want to try something new, something different, something exciting, something cheaper. mainly something cheaper. here we are trying to save money and live more frugally and in five weeks i'm going to need to shell out more money for this endeavour...i just feel like i can't justify it. i could gather some of my friends that are doing various weight loss things and we could all buy a good scaled and go by what it says at a weekly meeting, right? i just don't want to keep throwing my money at the big fat ww conglomerate. sigh. le big sigh.

i've been fairly deliquent on commenting on everybody's blogs. i was kind of sick this week and with easter on the weekend i've just been a busy, busy bee. i do read them though and i'm glad everyone is doing so good. you girls rock!

note to self:

don't make blogger posts when drunk.

i feel like crap today. ugh. i can't believe i drank that much.

16 glasses of wine later and i don't think i'm going to lose weight this week. and add on top of that 2 family dinners, 1 church event, 1 time eating out at fabu restaurant, and poor home eating habits i'm definitely not going to lose weight this week.
