Well, I joined! :) I thought the hardest part was going to be walking through the door, but instead, the hardest part was stepping on that scale in front of someone else! This accountability factor just might be what I need to keep me motivated....my competitive side wants to see that number go down each week!
I am kind of feeling overwhelmed and need time to figure out exactly what I am going to eat each day. I will spend the weekend trying to figure it all out, get set up on Etools, etc. But I am looking forward to planning it all.
I also joined a gym and worked out with a trainer one day. She was like Jillian ON CRACK! Damn that little girl worked my ass off! But in a good way! :) I might buy more sessions, but they are sooooo expensive and I already have money guilt for joining weight watchers! We'll see. I bought some equipment for at home workouts, too. Plus, it is beautiful here in NC, so I have been getting out with my dogs every day. All is good. Oh, and I'm down three pounds already!
Thanks for reading, if anyone is. And if you are, let me know it there are any tips you would be willing to share with me about WW. Thanks!

Hi Sloan, I had to track you down because you left me such a great comment a couple of weeks ago. The best tip I can give you is to be patient. You won't learn the points or what to eat over night. Be patient with the process. Be patient with yourself. Realize that the $ you are spending now you should not be guilty about - you are investing in your LIFE. And you truly cannot put a price on that. I am so proud of you for finding the strength to attend your first WW meeting and for being accountable and getting started. And I'm thrilled to have been a small part in helping you take that huge step. Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I feel like such a loser ass wipe. I wrote the blog, was convinced that NO ONE would ever read it, and never came back to it. Then I forgot my username and password. Anyway, I'm finally back and see that Bitch Cakes read my post! I am honored and amazed that you "tracked me down" and appreciate it so much. You continue to be my inspiration, and you are SMOKIN' HOT in your recent bikini pics! :)
ReplyDeleteI found your comment right below mine on *Bitch Cakes* blog and I just wanted to stop by and say WAY TO GO on attending your Weight Watcher meeting, as well as joining a gym!! It takes a lot of strength to get just that far!! Be proud of making these first steps.
ReplyDeleteAnd every single blogger in the world has started out thinking the same things you have. Hell, a lot of us still think that way sometimes. Make this a place for *you* and what *you* want & need to say.
Best of luck to you. XOXO
