What had happened was……

That DANG Christmas!! What happens when Christmas comes?????? FOOD!! And it didn’t help that I spent my Christmas with family in Philadelphia.  MAN! The cheesesteaks alone good GOD! I had two of those jokers. The first night I went to the HOOD and risked my life to get a cheesesteak from this joint called Max’s.  Let me tell ya, I’D DO IT AGAIN ! That is the best cheesesteak EVER! But that wasn’t all.

So of course I had Christmas dinner with family (shout out to all my Chalmers descendants ). We had some great cuisine. Macaroni and cheese, beef,  beef stew, honey  baked ham, cranberry and marshmallow salad, linguini and mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, and punch. Doesn’t sound bad right? Well what had happened was…….. cake and I mean cake. Lemon cake. Sweet pototo cake. Pound cake. Cake, Cake and more Cake. Did  I mention I’m a sucker for CAKE?

So I went to the Weight Watchers site and tallied up my daily and weekly points. Let’s just say, I won’t be going to any meetings for another 18 days. Nobody even ask me how was a meeting. I won’t know until January 14, 2008.  I  have to keep it real folks. Until next time. 

Back in the saddle again

HAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

(picture me with my head tilted backwards laughing out loud)

I’m going to make this short and sweet this week (especially since I managed to not write in here last week but…) I lost EIGHT POUNDS  in two weeks since I’ve started going back to Weight Watchers.

Oh the HORROR!!

OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So today I did something that catupulted my weight loss from November 2006 until May 2007 which was joining Weight Watchers. I stopped going for personal reasons but I thought I could keep the party going (meaning I didn’t need their assistance any longer). I never stopped going to the gym but last night it occured to me that although my body has gone down in size, I’m still not where I think I should be by now considering this has been an ongoing effort for over a year. So today I had the big epiphany and decided to go back to Weight Watchers.

LAWD HAVE MERCY OH THE WEIGHT THAT I GAINED BACK!! I gained back 17 pounds. Now that could have come from the fact that I lift weights, it could be water weight from my menstrual cycle (sorry fellas) but it probably was that damn thanksgiving holiday and those couple of slices of pizza when I started my new gig. The funny thing is that I’m not beating myself up. As we make mistakes, we have to do one of two things and that is to A) learn from that mistake or B) be doomed to repeat it.

As it pertains to food, I just can’t eat any old thing. I’m SO aware of that now it’s not funny. So it’s back to Weight Watchers as of December 4, 2007 AND I’ve hired a personal trainer. The moral of this is to show that you can always get back up again after you’ve fallen. The sin is not to fall but it IS when you don’t get up! Until next time, I can’ t wait to tell you how much  I knocked off in the first week. Till next Tuesday. Smooches
