So for me this is a rare update about my Weight Watchers journey.

Mike and I started WW in September and I will be honest I didn't think it would work any better than a hundred other plans I have tried. Of course .. i was wrong.

I started out at 189. Yep. That is right. scary ugly number for someone who has a family history of diabeties. They gave me 24 points daily and those fun flex points too. (35)
This morning was my first official weigh in of the New Year. Now granted things since Christmas have been miserable and I have had to force myself to eat every day for about a week now with varying degrees of success but this morning the scale said 173 which brings me to a total of 16 pounds total loss so far. That was very happy making. :) The down side to this is they lowered my points. *sigh* I know this is the way it goes but geeze..
So now this, combined with other factors, means that thing where I have to *shudder* exercise is even more important. My goal is to up my activity points in these areas -
yoga
sex
walking/hiking
weight training (sigh... this one is uber necessary)
No more not finding the time. No more putting it off for other people. My body won't let me slack off any more.


Wish me luck :)

SO it has been a while since i have posted an update of any substance. It's a beautiful autumn morning and my choices are coffee and lj or foiling the last of the glass. Guess which I will choose.

   Fair Ophelia is leaving us at work. This is very sad-making. The office is getting smaller and smaller. Its like a another ray of light is being snuffed out. *sigh*
   School is going pretty well. I have mentioned this already I know but it's my lj so I am going to do it again. The kids in my Lit class are a delight. This class is going to be a little difficult for me as my writing skills are more than out of shape.  There is Ryan of the coasting thru life. He is one of those people who thinks that charm can get him everything he wants. We shall see. Mike who sits behind me full of cutting quips and a head of poetic leanings. Sam, who sits next to him quiet but terribly smart. Kelly, a lovely girl who with just 1 more ounce of confidence in herself will do everything she wants to in life. Peter the gentle giant, i really hope he gets what he desires. Tanya, smiling, Alana  always with a story to tell,Kevin who has aspergers and is a total geek :) , Murry who is way too smart for the rest of us I think .  They make the class lots of fun.
 So we are all back in school here in Serenity House. While it is nice during the summer to sleep in and move lazily about sun-filled days the cool air and structure of fall is much more to my liking. All we need to do is get into the habit of thinking like equals a little more with the picking up after ourselves.
  Football season is upon us. 18 glorious weeks. *happy sigh*
  It is odd how I can sit here, my mind full of all the things that have been going on in my life and still have nothing to write. hmm...
  Mike and I have been using all our spare time to get these last few glass orders done before we go to Mexico. Today should be the last day of balls to the wall glass. Sundays of glass and football do not suck.
  This weight watchers thing we are trying seems to be working pretty well. Mike is down 10 lbs and I am down 7 going into our third week. The easy part is taking of f the weight the hard part is always sustainability.
  It has always bothered me to see my friends sad. A few of them are going through some hard times right now and I just want them to know I hope things get better. *hug*
 Well time for glass.

more another time kids
