I'm home now in Florida.......

Hey. I'm finally at my winter home in Florida, thank God. It was hard to not eat that much on the road, but I just snacked on a whole package of oreo cookies, some bread slices, and apple, and at the motel I had a bagel with cream cheese and a couple of pastries. Last Monday when I weighed myself, which started my second week on Weight Watchers, I lost 2 pounds....yippee!!! Even after eating all those sweets I didn't gain any weight (unless I was lighter than 208 pounds and I gained up to 208 again). Well, I've made some penpals after signing in and posting on www.military.com. I actually communicate with a couple of Army boys/men. One is a vehicle maintenance mechanic, and the other one is a medic NCOIC (non-commissioned officer in charge) in a hospital. Another guy works for the military in the D.C. area. I haven't been posting in my other blogs for a while so I guess I should start soon. Thank you, Jesus, for keeping me and my mother safe on the road this past weekend.

Weight Watcher's Day #4

Well, now I know I'm on Weight Watcher's: I finally felt the pangs of craving a coffee cake after using up all my points today. Of course I took a bite, but just a tiny one. The most it would cost me is 3 points - maybe 5, which is a lot, but not as much as the fish & chips cost me today. A whole 18 points! Needless to say I didn't eat anything else for the rest of the day, except a cup of skim milk and my 3 bottles (6 cups) of water. Mom was telling me I should have 8 cups of water a day. I'll eventually work my way up to it.

Weight Watcher's Progress

Well, it's been three whole days since I've been on Weight Watcher's and I'm not hungry at all. I was able to eat cereal for breakfast, then a fruit for a midday snack, then something else for dinner, plus I have 35 points available for an entire week, which means I'm allowed to splurge with five more points per day, but I find I don't need them that often. I've already lost a pound. I wonder how much weight will be lost at the end of my week. As far getting ready to go back to Florida, I feel like a sitting duck just waiting. I'm all packed up with no where to go! Mom said that we're leaving soon though. I can't wait to get back to Florida. I want to start my routine of walking and working out. As I said before, I'll probably have to wait until next month to start my workout, unless Mom gives me the money to join Curves....or Gold's Gym. I think I called Curves one time in the past and they said that I pay by the month only $25 or something, whearas Gold's Gym usually costs about $400 for about 2 years unless they have a special going on and you'd get a whole year free. Let's see: $400 divided by 24 months is...$16.67............That means Gold's Gym is cheaper in the long run, that is only if it cost only $400......it could be more. I'll have to check. But I'll probably end up going to Curves because it's closer, plus because I've never tried it before. I'm not sure if it an all-girl gym or not though. I might feel more comfortable there, I'm not sure.

Back to Weight Watchers!

Hey. I've gone back to Weight Watcher's again, and I'm having a blast typing up all my data online! I simply love it. I started yesterday, and thank God I had money in my checking account after the 1st. I love this online tracking. I can track all my food that I eat plus it calculates how much points I have for the rest of the day. PLUS+++ I get to see my weight drop on the progress chart. I think it is an excellent way for me to lose weight since I'm always on the computer anyway. That's all that is new this year. I am planning to go to Curves or Gold's Gym soon. I'm not sure which one I'll be going to. I've been to Gold's Gym before and I enjoyed meeting new people, but I had trouble with one guy that I simply loved, but I don't think he wanted me. So I stopped going there in Florida. Maybe I should go to Curves. I'm just going to go there for weight training, not cardio. If they have aerobics, then I might do that too. Weight Watcher's said that their plan is designed to take off 2 pounds per week. I calculated it and I should be down to 150 pounds by July 21, 2006. I hope my body keeps losing the weight and does not go on a plateau.

Happy New Year 2006!

Nothing going on here at home. I stayed home all night last night at my computer and listened to some oldies from the 60's and 70's. Then I watched some TBN movie. Then my mom and sister came back home from their night out and we watched the big ball come down with Regis' family. Then we ate some White Castle sandwiches. I had two: a cheeseburger and a jalepeno cheeseburger with some fries. I had several glasses of 7-Up last night also. Just a boring New Year's Eve with nothing to do. I suppose I could had gone to my niece's party at her house, but I wasn't up to going anywhere. Have a good New Year's Day everybody. I already made my New Year's resolution - to walk and work out all week long for at least a month to see how it works on me. Love to all, Anna
