The One with the Pledge

Weigh-in today was awesome. -3 lbs! That's -6.4 lbs thus far. Not too shabby!

Since the other computer, where the scanner sits, is occupied at the moment...I will just type up my Weight Watchers Pledge sheet from today's meeting:

• Participate in the TurnAround Program right through the December Holidays!
• Eat healthful foods in reasonable protions that satisfy me, using the eight good health guidelines.
• Participate in a regular exercise program for 20 minutes 3 days a week.
• Come to the weekly meetings for insight and support.
• Pick a meeting buddy, co-worker, family member &/or friend who will commit to support me.
• Make AWESOME lifestyle changes I enjoy!
• My short term goal is: Continue tracking points & keeping a steady walking routine
• My long term goal is: To maintain a healthy lifestyle and be an example to everyone around me
• What I really, really want is: To look amazing on my wedding day!
• 4 steps to making my dreams come true:

1. Positive
2. Specific
3. Within my control
4. Good fit with my life

Matt signed the bottom so he is, from here on out, my Support person. [grin] I heart him.

The One in Which She Takes Baby Steps

[waves]

So here I am. I feel a bit shy and maybe like I'm cheating on a lover...all because http://www.livejournal.com/ is my home. But I feel like I need to break free, at least for this particular episode of my life.

This episode shall be titled "The One in Which She Takes Baby Steps". (Oh Friends, how much I miss thee!)

I joined Weight Watchers at my work 2 weeks ago. The first weigh in was perfect, -3.4 lbs. But of course, the first week is aaaalways amazing like that. It is, of course, just my luck that my lovely Aunt Flo came to visit me over the weekend! Isn't she the best? ... ... The second weigh in is tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. I stepped onto my craptacular $3 1970's digital scale and it said 247, which would only mean -1 lb.

But like I said, it IS a craptacular scale.

I will keep this post short and sweet, since breaking in a blog is like breaking in a pair of beautiful, new shoes. You can't stay in them too long or the feetsies will scream bloody murder!

Until next time,
Emily
