Last week I chose not to weigh in (you can do that once) and just attend the meeting. The meeting was great and I felt re motivated for 2 days at least! If only I could write down what I eat, I think that'd make a big difference. But the thought of writing down each thing just makes me want to hurl!
I didn't weigh in today either, I really didn't have time. I think I will go in tomorrow and weigh in, I know I won't have any sort of good results, but I guess I'll keep trying anyway.
I found out that I have a ganglion cyst in my right wrist, which has been causing me pain for the last month or more. Now I have to wear this hideous wrist brace around for 2 weeks. For some reason it makes me feel like I can't exercise, lame excuse I know.
Anyway, hopefully I'll have an incredible meeting tomorrow...heaven knows I need it!

UGH
NOT DOING WELL....I can't seem to get back on track here and I'm worried already about just throwing in the towel. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Week 3
Well, I forced myself to go and weigh in this morning...I knew it....I'm up 1 lb. It may not sound like a lot to people who haven't done ww before, but NOW I have that one more pound added to my MOUNTAIN of weight I have yet to loose. Anyhow...I am ever so glad that ww goes on a week by week schedule. I can put last week behind me and today starts my new week. I'm going to go to Friday's class at noon, b/c right now Kev has Fridays off at work and if I don't have to get a babysitter...hey! All the better.
I do have to say that all those chex muddy buddies were delicious though! Every day Dallin begs me to make more...it's so hard when I absolutely love those things, who wouldn't love chocolate, peanut butter and a nice crunch in the middle. mmmmm
AND I just got home from Costco and I couldn't resist buying a canister of those chocolate covered raisins and peanuts. My family always gets mad at me for buying just the raisin ones, so I got the peanut ones this time too. Bad idea...I love those peanut ones too.
Why do I do this to myself?
Here's to a better week! GO ME.

Well...It's Happened!
Already, I've just had a bad week for my weight watchers plan! Can you believe it? It's only week three and I'm dreading weighing in tomorrow. I know I'm going to be plus. Here are my excuses...
I had to talk in church on Sunday (all consuming my thoughts), Dallin was sick with a fever from last Tues until Sunday. And to top that all off, I've got ANOTHER that's right folks, I said another sinus infection. So far I've had one every month this year! So here's what we're trying for my meds this time, they've put me on 2,000 mg of Amoxicillan! That means I take 4 pills twice daily for THREE weeks! Doesn't that sound like a lot? Well, I'm really hoping it can at least postpone my next infection for a few months. ugh!
I do have one very positive outcome from the past week though, and it's one that I would trade any day for gaining a couple of pounds instead of loosing them. And it's that, I had such a FABULOUS week for my spirit! I knew that I had to speak on Sunday, so I tried to get in every thing that I possibly could to feel closer to the spirit. On Wednesday I got to go to hear Rachelle, Sara and Rachelle's sister in law, Jamie, speak for an enrichment night (or something like that). It was wonderful. I felt like Jamie's talk was everything I needed to hear and it went right along with my topic for my talk. She was very kind to give me all of her references afterwards. I love her, she is SUCH an amazing person and if I can turn out to be even close to the woman that she is, I feel very accomplished with my life.
The next boost I had was that Kev and I went to the temple Friday afternoon (he's working 4 10's right now, so he has fridays off for awhile). It was great and I even got to have Bonnie as my veil worker helper, which was so neat. After the temple I went over to my parents house (they were going out for the evening) and brought all of my talk stuff over there. I spent maybe 4 hours there (the time just FLEW by) in complete silence and serenity. Her house was so clean and in order, it was peaceful and quiet and I felt that the spirit was with me there as I wrote out and put together all of my thoughts for my talk. It really was such a "fill my cup" retreat for me. I felt bad being gone for so long, but I needed that so much.
And finally on Saturday morning we had our annual stake women's conference at the Stake Center. It was wonderful, as usual, and the main speaker was just my favorite. She's a recording artist for Deseret Book, Jenny Phillips, and she really said a lot of things that helped my talk even more.
Then on Sunday morning as Kev and I were kinda wigging out about having to speak, I kept a prayer in my heart and was trying to think of all I had studied. I was in the shower and I gave one more plea to Heavenly Father to "please please help me to be calm and to remember everything I'd planned etc." Almost immediately after those words were whispered from my lips the thought of "trust God, then go and do," came into my head and I felt like wow! That was actually the name of my talk and here I was feeling all worried and stuff when all along I should've just remembered those words. It was a really neat experience for me. Then on Sunday as I got up to speak (I was nervous before) a calmness rushed over me and I felt like it went pretty well, other than that I wish I didn't have to read so much from my notes, but I can't do it any other way. I've never had so many people approach me and say that they liked my talk. (not to toot my own horn, or anything, but that just really meant a lot to me.)
So it all boils down to this...I'll just take it all in stride and if I had to trade a weight loss for that incredible spiritual gain, I'll do it!
And I'll still go in and weigh in tomorrow, even though it's going to be embarrassing, I'll keep on going and hope for a better week (physically) this week.
Thanks for reading this novel of a post, if you made it this far, mostly I just wanted to get my experience recorded somewhere.
