Loss: -1.2LBS , Total loss -3.2LBS

Down a total of 3.2 Lbs Not too bad for two weeks.  Not a huge loss but my weight still went down and not up. I spoke to my friend Erica. She has joined Weight Watchers. I have been on weither Watchers before and find it great. I have all my old WW bookd and info, but i have hear they have changed their point system a little. Some poods have a different point value and I have heard you have a new daily point target. My work has a Weight Watchers program, so on Thursday, I plan to join  for the remainder 9 week in the 26 week session. After that, I hope to continue the WW system on my own without having to pay to attend the sessions.

Not a horrible week. I did have a 'few' cookies and cupcakes this week. But I tried to drink lots of Crystal Light water and tried to not eat late in the night.

Week 3 Goal:
#1:Focus on saying NO to desserts - If I have the urge to snack, I will reach for a fruit or popcorn.
#2: Prepare my lunches ahead of time. If will save me money from buying my lunches at work and I can plan what I will eat and snack on daily. It will save me from temptation!

My weight is like a bouncing yoyo. In the summer time i enjoy walking and keeping a little more active. As winter draws near, I become like a bear - eat and hybernate. Don't even get me started talking about my eatting habits at Christmas (aka the WHOLE month of December).... Let me sum up my Christmas..... I see it- I eat it. Nuff said.
Last year i started to diet and lost a total of 34LBS before that evil month long feast in December. I stopped my diet so i could really 'enjoy' the holidays. Well.... Holidays came and went. But i didn't jump on the bandwagon again. I am not sure why i didn't go back to eatting better.  I have 'only' put on 8LBS since Christmas.. YIKES! My body feels tired and worn. My energy is gone by 3pm. I don't want to die young.

I have a supportive husband and an active child who will help keep me on my toes...

Now I am ready to start again. This is somthing that I need to do for myself. I need to take control of my life again.
I would like to lose a lot of weight, but I will remind myself to celebrate the milestones! 

I invite you to  come along on this  journey and maybe you will find the power to take control over your life.

Please post any helpfull hints, cooking tricks,  recipes, advice or even a few possitive words to help keep me going!

Thanks,
Sharon
