I am making some changes in my routine. First off, I am only going to weigh myself and take measurements once a month. I am not going to follow any special diet anymore but will try to watch what I eat as much as I can. I have my trip coming up and have lost my initial motivation to lose weight fast. I will take the weight off and get healthy, but it's going to be a much slower process than I originally planned. Because I'll be gone at the end of this month, I think I will wait with my measurements and weigh-in until the end of December. I will see progress by then.

I have also ordered 2 new exercise videos. I really don't have the money to spend right now because of my trip, but I needed something new for motivation. I'm also still working on getting a routine for actual weight lifting, especially the upper body.

So I am still going to become a better and healthier me, just not as strict as I was. I wasn't following the WW like I should have been anyway LOL.

I've been so bad with both my exercising and eating. I'm not longer even doing WW.

Plus I am losing my motivation to exercise. I guess it all started with the change of Seasons and my quitting smoking. I'm not sure why, and I don't feel good about it. I really, really need some new videos but cannot afford any right now. So I am trying to keep plugging away with the videos I have and also doing new exercises on my own, but so far I am slowly losing interest. Don't get me wrong, I still do want to exercise and will not give up, but instead of having that excitement I used to have now I have to force myself to do it. I'm not giving up though. I will be where I want to be weight wise and health wise for sure by next summer. I'm still going to watch what I eat but I won't be counting points.

Now I need to talk myself into exercising today. :)

Gina, I hope you are feeling better since your last post. Do not feel ashamed for what you feel you aren't doing. Any exercise at all is better than nothing. We are all going to go through periods where we slack off. I know I'm also struggling with feeling not like myself but I think it's because of the Winter. Just take it one day at a time and remember to pat yourself on the back for every good food you do eat or every time you do exercise.

Well I stayed the same with my weight again this week. I will be counting my points again for the next few weeks until my trip as my method did not work. I only exercised a few days though so that might also be why. I did lose 6/8 inches, which makes me happy.

I am really going to try hard to stay OP this entire week. I'd like to see a 3 pound loss by next Thursday. :)

I didn't exercise the past 2 days. I am still busy decorating and paiting my house and just didn't want to take an hour for it. Then early this morning I had a root canal so I didn't have enough time. I had to leave the house by 7 a.m. Anyway, I will resume my exercises tomorrow. I am not slacking, but just choosing to do other stuff instead this week. Things will be a bit more hectic for most of this month as we are having a party here, I'm trying to plan something for Shawn's birthday, and then there is Thanksgiving, after which Shawn and I leave for 11 days to Florida. So I have so much other stuff going on.

I'm doing good with my eating and still not counting points this week. I'm not sure if I'll see a loss though or not because of my poor exercising habits. I'll know in the morning.

I'm still here. I had a really busy weekend as I had to work both Friday and Saturday in mom's store. Then I did a lot of work around the house in preparation for our party next weekend. There is still some painting and decorating to finish. So I got up first thing yesterday morning and worked most of the day on the house. I didn't take the time to exercise.

I had a good workout today. I haven't done my Tae-bo in a long time. It really kicks my butt (cardio wise). I'm still getting my lungs into shape from my quitting smoking, which is going really well. I have kicked the habit.

I have decided not to count points this week. I am experimenting with a little theory I have. I am still watching what I eat as if I were counting points and eating small portions and lots of vegetables, but I'm not keeping track. The reason is last week there were some evenings where I really was not hungry, but because I knew I hadn't used my minimum points, I decided to eat something. Well one thing led to another and soon I was eating the house down, at night! So this week I am trying something different. I am planning on quitting weight watchers at the end of this month anyway as I had prepaid for 3 months. I know the plan and will continue to do it on my own.

So far the scale isn't moving in either direction this week. No loss, no gain. That's fine with me. I'm PMSing this week so I'm really hungry, but the worst is over. Now I'm just waiting for my TOM. If I don't lose anything this week, then I will probably count points next week and the rest of the weeks before my trip to Florida. I'm leaving on November 28 and I'd really like to lose another 9 pounds......a girl can dream can't she. :)

There was no change in my weight this week, and I'm relieved. I had expected to see a gain as I did not stay OP as planned. I am PMSing this week and expect to get my period in one week and that's usually when I've lost the most weight. I'm hoping to see a 3 pound loss by my next weigh-in. I definitely need to order some new exercise videos, but money is really tight. So I will probably come up with a weight routine instead, for now.
