First Week and How Did I Do?? Hhhhmmmmm....

Well, I've been on Weight Watchers (WW) a week now and I was anxious to see how I did on the scale. Oh my am I ever nervous because I wasn't exactly "on target" with all the foods I was to eat. You see, I work at a church as the secretary and ppl bring in all these goodies ALL the time. That makes the will power tough to tame. A wonderful lady brought in a double layer of am-a-zing chocolates in a tin that is just gorgeous....you know what that means....calorie ridden and full of "oh no you didn't's"....lol.

Well, here goes.....

Oh darn.....I gained .5 lbs (1/2 a pound). Oh well, I guess for not staying on target for 1/2 the week, that isn't too bad. But the picture really depicts what I want.....BALANCE in my life. That is a lot of what my New Year's Resolutions have to do with. Balance. I think most of us get caught up in too much "stuff"....ya know. And we lose sight of the important things. I am in no way speaking of my family.....just other things in my life that need to be priortized. I've always made time for my husband and my children.....they are my life's blood.  My everything.

Well, there is always next week. I will try harder to stay ON TARGET and eat ONLY the foods that I know I'm supposed to eat. That first week is a tough one, ya know. BUT, I'm proud to say that I dusted off the eclipse and exercised on it daily before I'd get ready for work. I even exercised on it this am.

WOW....never thought I'd be able to say that. I plan on going to the walking track too. We'll see what another 7 days brings. One can only try and maybe at the end of this whole ordeal....I'll look something like this:

Yeah right!!  Well, at least I can look healthier and lose some of this weight I've carried for way too long.  AND to be healthier is the best benefit. I sincerely hope that those of you who are doing WW or some other form of weight loss, you did well this week and continue on your journey to healthy living!!

Until Next time....... ~Tina
