My Mom and I attended a WW workshop yesterday. Since the WW studios in my area were closed
Monday and Tuesday for both Christmas and New Years, it felt good to be back.
I was thinking I would skip the scale since I’d done
my home WI and knew I had gained. This
way, I would be able to work back down before my next WW workshop (which I
think I’ll start going to Saturday morning meetings). My Mom said she needed to go regardless and I
knew that I needed to face the scale too.
I was hoping for no more than 3 pound gain as that would mean I weigh 10
pound less this January than last January.
I ended up with a gain of 2.4 pounds.
Whew. I am super happy about that…but
not so happy about the gain in general.
I have a little over a week to get myself back down. I am officially 11 pounds lighter this year than last year.
It feels good to be back on track, although I’m
struggling a bit with meal planning.
An interesting FB Memory popped up today.
It was seven years ago that I got back into goal range
after struggling, according to the memory, for five months. I don’t have any weight records entered in
the WW app during that time. I found one
blog post from January 14, 2011: Sharing Blog Posts From My Weight Loss Journey: Four Years With Weight Watchers
which talked about my feelings during that time.
My weight record in the app shows that I was within
goal range until August of 2013. That is
when my back pain started thus the spiral that happened after. I found a blog post from August 15, 2013: August Weight In that appears to be the
last time I was in goal range. I also
earned my sixth key charm.
There is a lot
of positive and painful memories when you look back over things. But, that is also how I gain the most
perspective.
My 12 year WW Anniversary is later this month. I’ll look over everything and put together a
blog post. As 2019 is now upon us, my
focus this year is to re-claim my 100 pound charm and get back under 200
pounds.
I know I can do
it and I know I will do it!
