189.2

I lucked out with getting the flu after a few days of overeating through Christmas. From Monday to Friday, I gained 5 lbs. From Friday to Sunday, I lost 6 lbs. Crazy.

Looking back on this wonderful year (9 months) with Weight Watchers:

• Highest weight in 2018--260.4
• Current weight on Dec. 31--189.2
• Lost 71.2 pounds
• From Oct. 31 to Dec. 31--Lost 11.4
• From Nov. 30 to Dec. 31--Lost 6.6
• Made my 190.6 goal for Dec. 31. 

Looking ahead:

• Minimum 6-lb. loss goal by Jan. 31 > 183.2
• At WW currently -67 lbs. 
• Goals in January at WW: Hit -70 lb. milestone and hit -75 lb. milestone.
• There are 5 weigh-in Thursdays in Jan.
• On my scale, if I lose 6 pounds a month, I'll get to 100-lb. loss by June 1!

What I must do to accomplish this:

• Plan everyday.
• Follow this plan--no snitching, unplanned snacking. 
• Track everyday.
• Attend WW workshops/meetings every week.
• Increase water consumption (30-day challenge?).
• Increase steps per day (8000 avg. per day).
• Look for ways to add activity in my day.
• Try new recipes so I don't get bored with my meals.

Results?

• Feel good, healthier, move well, look better, fun clothes, my family's pride, role model for others.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT I WILL ACCOMPLISH IN 2019!

192.4

Wonderful progress from a year ago! Weight Watchers has been good to me. I did well through the weekend preparing for Christmas, at Renetta's, through the day here on Christmas Day. But that night and Wed./Thursday I snitched and snacked too much on Chex mix, puppy chow, and more. Disappointed in myself with that. I was 190 on Monday morning, 195.4 Friday morning. That's ridiculous. I sent some food home with the girls, threw away the puppy chow and plan to put away (maybe throw away) more.

I was really sick yesterday afternoon/night. Chills, gurgly stomach. I didn't eat much yesterday. Breakfast and one bowl of chicken rice soup. I feel somewhat better today. I had oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. I don't think I'll feel like walking today, but hope to for the rest of break. 192.4 today.

Keep focusing on the positives: I could have done much worse with eating over Christmas week; I'm ready to get back on track; I love how I feel and look after a 65 lb. loss; I have new clothes to buy with my Kohl's gift certificate from Dave (plus the new beautiful necklace); I love how much better my knees and ankles feel; I want to make continued good progress by my 1-year WW anniversary and make goal in 2019.
