Weigh in #1 of 2017!

So I went back to Weight Watchers after Thanksgiving but I really haven't been putting my full heart & soul into it.  So today, I'm back for realz. 

I was very happy with a 1.6 lbs loss over the holidaze - especially since I spent a week with King Sabotage & the Dowager Queen (Randy and his mom).  I'm proud that I only called Randy an asshole once while we were grocery shopping the first day in Arkansas and pretended not to hear a comment his mom made about me taking a second helping of something at breakfast (I'm sure it was said innocently, but if it had been anyone else - I would have flipped and/or told them off.)  I have learned that the best way for me to stay on track is to NOT have junk food in the house. If it's in front of me, I'll eat it.  I know this.   And where did they spend the most time in Kroger??  The chip aisle.  I don't even like chips that much. but I'll still shovel them in.  At least they broke down and got reduced fat Lay's.  And Fritos (that I DO like). 

Anyhoo.  I survived.  My step count for that week was insanely low.  You can't get many steps in during 2 days in the car each way.  Get this - the first 2 days we were in Arkansas?  I barely broke 1000 steps each day.  How sad is that??  It was better after that, because I went stir-crazy and had to get outside.  

On the plus side.  Before we left for Arkansas, we took advantage from some coupons Miss Angela had gotten from Planet Fitness.  Randy and I both got memberships!  Come to find out - I didn't have to pay the membership fee because I'm a veteran!  Awesome.  So I'll be stopping by there on my way from from work tomorrow.  I was torn between going there or going back to Zumba.....but since I haven't done any real exercise since before my surgery at the beginning for July....Zumba would probably kill me.  So I'll work my way back up to that. 

I also took measurements and "before" photos tonight.  Ugh.  Don't worry - I'm NOT posting those here.  I dutifully made a collage and saved it in a folder on my phone with the date. 

OMG.  The're awful.  Just awful.  Of course it didn't help that I was just in undergarments, so there was nothing hidden.  I don't even want to look at them myself.  

I also got a small planner, so I can schedule myself gym days and WW meetings and such. I also am taking advantage of the notes section in the back for measurements & stuff, since WW didn't see fit to keep that particular option of the website and I lost all my measurements that I'd taken since 8/08.  Bastards. 

So yeah, that's where I'm at!  I have a tab up top called A Work in Progress with my weigh ins and weekly steps.  

Now I just have to get the whole food planning down pat.  I got the stuff for a glorious salad tomorrow....and don't have it all together.  Or my clothes laid out for work, so I guess I better sign off.

Later!
