WW Post 3

I know I am two days late, sorry.

Well I weighed in on Tuesday morning. I was nervous. I didn’t feel like I had accomplished much. I got there, weighed in, and was surprised at the results. I walked around to the class room area, and that’s when I knew it was real. I was told on weigh in that I had lost another 4.8 pounds. I am now down to 284 and that means I met my first goal. The ladies expressed profound excitement about the change they could see in one week. All of them were talking about seeing a “dramatic” change. I walked out of there excited and ready to face another challenging week.

This past week is the first time that I have ever made it truly a point to eat Fruits and vegetables. On all but two days I managed to eat my “5 servings” or more of vegetables. I stayed under my points and I even walked some when I got the chance. But the biggest thing I discovered was…..

When I go to weigh in don’t take off shoes, I don’t empty pockets. In fact I wear things and carry things that I would if I was at work on an ambulance, or on the helicopter. I have put WW as my measuring stick so I can be fit enough to fly. So when I weigh in I am “flight weight”. Well I was measuring my point’s value off my flight weight. So last week when I got home, a little frustrated, I stripped down to my running shorts and stepped on the scale. It was enough of a change to lower my points. So this week I went with the lesser amount of points. No I am not revealing that weight, however, the difference was enough to make a great change for the week. So now I measure points based on the home scale, and my success on the Weight Watchers scale.
So here I go to lose some more. Some day you will see less of me.

PS. I poked a new hole in my belt this week. Marsha says its time to get a new one... I think I will hold on to this one for awhile. ;-)
