So, Thursday's weigh in went way different than I expected. It was a rough week....I went out with FH and our Best Man and his wife. I had ice cream two days in a row....not just ice cream....sundae and a flurry (like a blizzard). SO not healthy....SO delicious. I ate at a fancy restaurant where I looked up their nutrition facts and one meal was over 5000 calories! EEK! Luckily, I did my research and got the lowest calorie item on the menu. I LOST 2.6 pounds!!!!! Not sure how! I'm not arguing, though. I've lost a total of 13 pounds so far! I've been doing this a month now!
This week, I'm going to be scared. I kinda got off track....I didn't track my foods since Friday....its currently Monday. I ate a lot! I decided to go back and figure out my points, well, I know my memory isn't the best, and what I remember eating....Friday, 30.5, Saturday 26.5, Sunday 40, today was 35. I'm allowed 25 points a day. I have 3 allowance points left....this is terrible! I feel more on track now that I got caught up with my tracking and I've been reading the message boards on WW's website. The bad news, my Wii fit says I've gained weight since Thursday. And its been pretty accurate these last few weeks. So I gotta get back on track!!!

Weigh in #3
So, WW on Thursday....I lost another 2.8 pounds. I've lost a total of 8.2. I, however sadly, don't have motivation right now, nor did I yesterday. This is sad! But given that it takes so long to make something a habit....this is not a habit yet....and my old habits are trying to break free! So this is gonna be a rough week. But I think I can do it! Heck, I went on a 4 mile walk today with my FH. So I'm not 100% unmotivated.
I did buy a WW pedometer and I did buy the fancy $40 kit, with eating out guides, a dvd, 3 month journal and stuff....so I gotta get motivated! (ps, I LOVE my pedometer!!!!)

So-So day...Uneventful....
I'm going to start off with a little bit about life....today was fairly good....farily uneventful....just plain boring day. I taught 2nd grade, came home, went on a 50 minute walk, cooked a 10-ish point dinner (I'm guessing, I didn't measure my food for once, just guessed) It just was a truly boring day.
My weekend was fun! Saturday, Adam and I got up and went to a Police Memorial thing in Bellefontaine. He's the Mayor of the town, so he had to give a Proclamation about it. Then we went to garage sales. Only spent 50 cents....I got a book that belonged to my sister's mother-in-law's dead brother. I thought I would return it to her....it was strange because the house that I got the book from was not related to them, but they must have sold it at a garage sale long ago. I dunno. If they don't want it, I'll use it in my future classroom...its Dr. Seuss.
Sunday, Adam and I went to Preble Co. to celebrate Mother's Day with his grandparents and Aunt and Uncle from Alabama. I ate so much! I was out of points at 3pm. Luckily I was so full I didn't get hungry at all the rest of the night. Then his Aunt, Adam, and I went on a 3 mile walk....stupidly I wore dress shoes with a bit of a heel....so my legs are stiff today, used different muscles.
So far, my Weight Watchers has been working. I'm just terrified of gaining back the weight before my weigh in on Thursday. On Friday, I had no motivation and I went over 2 points....but that's why we have the allowance. And I feel like I've been slacking on exercising, but I've just been doing less intense activities. So hopefully I'll hit my 5% this week. I only have 3.4 pounds left! Then I can work towards my 10%, then I can work towards my ultimate goal, which will be about 140. So a total of 52.4 pounds overall....I hope I can do it! I'm hoping before my wedding!

Weigh In! Life Changing!
Last night was my second Weight Watchers meeting. My weight came in at 187.2....which was 5.4 pounds less than my original 192.6. So I had pretty good success this last week. Of course the first few weeks you mostly lose water-weight, but still....its keeping me going! I got 5 marbles from my Leader and I got a bookmark with a star that says '5'. So I'm pretty happy! Plus I got clapped for!
I celebrated last night by splitting a pack of the Little Debbie Nutty Bars with my fiance. They come in 2 sticks, well, each stick is 4 points. AND I didn't go over my daily points! I used to get 28 points a day, (when my weight was in the 190s), now that I'm in the 180s, I'm down to 27 points. I retook the quiz in the book.
As I stated earlier, my FMIL goes to WW too...but she goes to the Saturday morning meeting and I go to the Thursday evening...so after my meeting, I went to my FH's ('future husband' to those who aren't on Wedding Book) house and his mom was going to go on a walk, but held off until she found out how I did! It was so sweet! (And I think she's a bit jealous, she's been doing this since Feb. and only lost 10.something pounds, I've done it a week and got 5.4) But that just help keeps me motivated! :-)
Well, I'm off to the grocery to find some healthy WW-appropriate food! Until next time, keep living well!

Life Changing....
So, why did I name my blog 'Life Changing'? Very simple. My life is changing. Pretty much every aspect of my life is changing and I felt it was appropriate to name my blog that. My life is changing: I'm getting married in 171 days; I'm on a journey to lose 52 pounds through Weight Watchers; I'm going to be moving soon (I live with my parents and they are moving soon, then I'll get married and have to move again....and I've never moved in my life! Well, when I was 2....and then into college, but I came back) My sister is 11 weeks pregnant, so I'll be an aunt soon. I graduated college a year ago and I've been a substitute teacher, so that change already happened, but its worthy to note. So yes, my life is changing. Life as I know it, will be different forever.
Okay, I've read that blogging about weight loss is helpful. I started Weight Watchers on April 29th, 2010. My starting weight was 192.6. Which I feel is absolutely terrible for me! I mean, looking back on my Wii Fit, June 30, 2009, I weighed 158...which was in the 'normal' BMI category. I don't know what happened to me, other than being very happy because in June '09, I met Adam, fell in love, and started eating. December '09 he proposed. Now I'm at my record high weight. I feel over weight and unattractive, but Adam still loves me. And I've started WW!!!
I love the Weight Watcher's program so far! I've eaten a lot (just different stuff than before) and my Wii Fit says I weigh 2.4 pounds less than the day I started WW. My mom and my Future-Mother-In-Law (FMIL from now on) are also on the program. FMIL started in Feb. and she's lost 10 pounds. My mom started the day I did. I want to get back down to my pre-college weight of 140. I think I can do it! I'd love to do it before my wedding! I have about 6 months....so its doable, just will be difficult. My mom is making my dress, so alterations will be no problem.
Okay, I'm off for my walk! Before Adam comes over for the evening of Mexican Food for Cino de Mayo (or something like that). I have 22 points left for dinner! Woot Woot!! (I've only had 5 points so far, and I've eated breakfast AND lunch!)
