As I said I would in my first post, today was my weigh in day for weight watchers. Knowing that I haven't been tracking my food and haven't done much in the realm of exercise other than skiing and physical therapy, I was a little nervous to go weigh in today. As I removed my (3 ounce) bracelet and gigantic wool sweater and braced myself to step on the scale, our WW lady sensed my hesitation and ever so irritably said, "I'm ready when you are." On I stepped and OH MY GOD I lost a pound! Whoa didn't see that coming. I can say to my benefit I've been trying to drink less soda, which I seem to be horribly addicted to, more water and a lot more tea. I actually generally despise water, I love milk and juice and pepsi max and tea, but water and I have never been friends. I am however trying to find something to make it more palatable to me. Propel seems to satisfy what my body needs in terms of its water supply and I find it mildly satisfying. It must be doing something. I can as of today proudly say that I'm down 10 pounds. I really hope that I can find the motivation to lose the next 20 by my birthday. I feel like I kind of cheated with my first 10 as it was mostly due to skiing a couple of times a week and having PT. I will continue to have PT as my back still has not healed, but with ski season having come to a close I need to find the motivation to do some other type of activity.
Being a member of the Toggenburg Ski Patrol is my winter job, it's volunteer but we have scheduled days to ski and there for it's my job to be there on the days I am signed up for. It forces me to ski which I'm thankful for because it keeps me active. Not that I don't enjoy it too, but I'm not sure I would ski as much if it weren't for this organization. I got some end of the season spring skiing in this past Sunday with my son, it was really awesome out! :-)
Well with all that being said if anyone has any suggestions to help get me motivated and keep me motivated I'm open to ideas! I do want to do this I guess I'm just in need of guidance...
I did make a most delicious and lower fat version of BBQ pulled pork and it was delicious! I used boneless pork chops instead of a giganticly fatty pork shoulder and I made roasted garlic and rosemary cous cous.
If any one has any healthy recipes I'm always looking for delicious yummy healthier options to try! This was actually a very delicious meal and wasn't too many WW points either!
Cheers! xoxo
If the boys do a sport, you can too. If they do baseball, volunteer to help with practice. If they do karate, see if there is a class right before or after theirs.
