My weight-watching efforts have been sadly neglected for the last month or so. Ever since E and I got back from our trip to Seattle things have been pretty crazy around here with E getting a stomach bug, the basement repair job, work, Halloween, E’s birthday, etc… Things were just hectic enough that I didn’t feel too badly letting Weight Watchers slip from my schedule. But, ever the repentant prodigal child, I slunk into the office on Saturday to get weighed…and found out I had lost 5.6 lbs!
Thank you, food poisoning! Even though I know there’s a good chance I’ll gain it back as my body adjusts back to normal I have to admit it was exciting to hear that number. It brings my total loss to 20.8 lbs so far. (Yay!)
So I am recommitting myself (again) to exercising and eating better. I need to get in the habit of eating better now so when I finish weaning E I don’t go scarily overboard on the dairy (I’m looking at you, ice cream, cheese, pastries (a new Kneaders just opened by my house), and creamy salad dressings!).
Weight-loss aside, I am really looking forward to this week. For the first time in too long I don’t have anything urgent or high maintenance on my plate. I’m looking forward to just cleaning up the house, grocery shopping, maybe having lunch with some friends, and taking E for a few walks…you know, a nice, slightly productive, relaxing week.
Wow Faith! Good for you! Oh, but sorry about the food poisoning part.
Hey, congrats! That reminds me of a terrible but hilarious quote: “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight!” It’s always good to find the silver lining after a bout with food poisoning. Bleh. I’m glad you’re feeling better.
I hope you enjoy your stress free week and can enjoy some time with E. and getting stuff done. You deserve it after all the craziness you’ve had going on lately.
