We'll it's been a little while since I have posted anything because I have been thinking a lot about what to post. It's the new year and we are supposed to come up with new year resolutions. I can't stand those things, so I have just been doing some thinking in between all of us being sick and here is what has been happening. I decided not to wait until Jan. 1st to make some changes.
On the Weight Watcher's front:
I hadn't been to WW in about 6 weeks. One morning I got up early on a Saturday and went spinning. This was on December 22. I decided right then and there that I had to go to WW even though I hadn't been in a long time. I had just done spinning, drank lots of water, was dying, and decided to go to WW. Sure enough I had gained weight and a lot. 7 pounds. I know some of it was from the water I drank in spinning, but I also knew it was because I hadn't been active or eating right. I was back up to 304.2. I didn't let it get me down. I decided right then and there to start WW all over again like I had never been on it. Here is where I am at today.
December 22- gained 7 pounds
December 29- lost 2.8 pounds
January 5- lost 5 pounds
January 12- lost 3.6 pounds
Total lost for the past 3 weeks 11.4 pounds. I am now 295.6.
I am setting lots of small goals. 10 more pounds by February 9th, the day I leave for a trip with my hubby. 5 additional pounds by Feb. 22 another trip with hubby.
By March 15th I want to have lost 30 pounds total. That is 10% of my weight lost. That is my first major Weight Watchers goal.
We'll see how these goals go.
The next area in my life that I started working on was getting my house in order. It is hard for me to get rid of stuff, but leading up to Christmas I got rid and threw out so much stuff that It is nice to see the difference in the house. I am getting in a routine that is sticking. Once things are organized I am making a HUGE effort to keep them that way. I am starting to see a difference in how the whole family is regarding this.
I am back in the gym. My first sprint triathlon this year is June 28th. I am starting to think about training, so I am in the gym and slowly getting back into the triathlon mindset. My priorities right now are picking up the pace in my walk, so I can hopefully run my 5k in my triathlon's this summer. I have never been able to run them, so that is my goal for this summer.
It feels good to be back and I plan on making 2008 GREAT.
GO ME!! This year is the year of the Meepa!!
Here are my Haikus
I am sick of fat
It is melting off of me
Weight Watchers Works, COOL!!
It is a new year
time for renewal and change
Watch out here I come
June is when I run
a 5K until the end
tired I will be
I must get my boy
off to school on time today
so I'm signing off
I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

Sounds like you are doing great for yourself in 2008! On the organization front, I could use some myself, I used to be a flylady, it really helped me. Check out flylady.com and see if it's something you might benefit from, while you're there tell them I'm on my way back. ;)
Oh yeah, GO PACKERS! That isn't a haiku, is it?
I think it's fantastic you're not getting discouraged by a minor holiday setback and are getting right back on the plan! In fact, reading about your efforts today actually motivated me to report in with The Calorie Nazi this morning : )
Great job!
I think you have some really good goals set as well.
I wish you all the best!
Melissa, Way to go on getting back on track. Yeah This is our last month and it doesn't look good. So i am excited to get back on track myself, I see a doctor today to do that. I am hoping to do the race in June again.. Wylee are you up for that? I just think the getting away was the best and meeting all you girls! Keep up the good work.. And yes I am still alive! GO PACKERS!!
