There always seems to be soo much I want to share or talk about here and then the time gets away from me, I get lazy and just don't post it, or I decide it is too personal to share. I guess I don't really know who is reading, do they really want to know this ect... =) Well for today lets give it a shot...I guess I am always amazed at how one moment or one thing that is said can stir up soo many emotions and feelings. Probably feelings you didn't even know you were feeling. I have mentioned it before that I am doing LA Weight Loss (and loving it--really I mean it may not always show but I do really like it). I love the one on one w/ the counselors. It was expensive (even on the 50% off sale as it was when I joined, but worth it) I like that I don't have to count points, but that doesn't change the fact that I haven't been journaling what I've been eating or the fact that for 3 or 4 weeks now that I have gained or lost the same 2-3 pounds. Miss H (what I will call her) is awesome and though at the moment I wasn't feeling the love LOL.... I told her on Friday that I didn't have a journal and she looked over my file. She gave me a stern look and said I can't give you the benefit of the doubt anymore! I am going to be STERN with you... YOU NEED TO QUIT MAKING EXCUSES! Well lets just say it hit HARD. She asked the hard questions like WHY AREN'T YOU JOURNALING? WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE FOOD CHOICES YOU ARE? Then when I him/hah'd she said I was just making excuses! She was completely right! It all makes you think WHY you are doing this! The reasons why I want to lose weight, WHY, WHY, WHY... I am sure I am the only that understands why it would be hard to explain or talk about why I want to lose the weight, but it all just HIT me that day! I was a WRECK! Poor Miss H she didn't quite know what to do or say! I promised to BE ON PROGRAM! I composed myself and went back to work LOL
On Tuesday (the 14th) was my next weigh in... Unfortunately Miss H wasn't there or available and Miss M was my counselor and well she is the ONE girl there I DON'T LIKE!! I know that is horrible, but seriously I just don't think she is supportive and very encouraging...both reasons why I joined! So she chuckled when she opened up my file... Of course I wanted to know why! Well Miss H after our meeting had put a sticky note on my file that said HANDLE WITH CARE! Gotta love that! Funny as it was I thought it was awesome that she thought to leave a note!
Friday (the 17th) was another weigh in and well I guess it pays off to BE ON PROGRAM! For the week I was down a little shy of 5lbs! Ahh it was awesome to see that huge jump in loss.
Weigh in again today (the 21st) down about a 1/2 a lb! I'll take it, not huge, but not a gain! I haven't got all of my water in, not all of my veggies and I was at a family reunion on Saturday and there were not a huge amount of great food choices... aka I had a few cookies and a brownie! =) They have changed up the portion sizes some and how many proteins and starches etc I get so tonight was spent reading up on some of the food choices we are given and trying to figure out a better plan of attack for what to have for my meals! Anyone use a meal plan for the week? Want to share if you do?
I did leave Miss H a nice little THANK YOU card today! Might have been sappy to give my weigh loss counselor a thank you card, but they are a huge part of this time in my life! They aren't any different than anyone else, I'm sure she will love to see that she was appreciated and a HUGE HELP to me!!!
THANK YOU MISS H (and everyone else in the office)!!!
