I'm doing 27 things
So, okay. I joined Weight Watchers (officially this time!) with my neighbor on April 22nd. It’s been hugely helpful, and I have definitely made progress. Not there yet, but am more than half way… which is something! :)
I was all the way to 12 pounds lost, 8 to go (only 6 until my 10% WW goal)... but then went on Vacation for two weeks and gained 4.4 pounds. This is the second week back… I’ve lost 1.8 of the vacation pounds (haha)... so, I’m back on the right side of half way at least. Still have a lot of work to go.
It’s hard not to get discouraged with how seemingly slow it’s going. But, even if it takes a while, I’d definitely rather be 20 pounds lighter at the end of 6 months than exactly the same. Right? Right.
Also, we’re going to start trying for a baby next month. I’m really frightened that I will use pregnancy as an excuse to gain 80 pounds – only 8 of which would be baby of course, ha. I think that’s part of why I freaked out and pigged out on vacation… I was thinking, “Why should I try? I’m just going to gain eventually anyway.” Now, of course, that thinking seems absurd… I should loose as much as I can and be as healthy as I can – first and foremost for the baby’s sake, secondly to make less work for myself later when it’s time to get back to a pre-baby body.
Right? Right.
