New weight

Filed under: Health
December 24, 2006

I weighed myself this morning and I am 130.0 pounds. After that post I read, I took my goal and my weight out of my profile. I will still post my weight here. I bought a scale to keep downstairs, but it is cheap and not accurate. So once again I have wasted money.

Tom wanted to take me out to dinner Friday. So I went. While we were waiting for a table, we went to the bar and I had this specialty drink. It did not sit well with me. It must have had something in it I was allergic to. I ended up in the ladies room, Tom sent the waitress to find out if I was all right. How humiliating! I had saved all my Flex points and didn’t even eat all my daily points! I am still feeling icky from it.

Little Feelings

Filed under: Health — 1 Comment
December 21, 2006

I was looking about on the website and read a post that hurt my feelings, it was on the General/Daily Thread and started like this:

“vent: what kind of vain person joins ww to go . . . . . ” and finishes like this:
“. . . from 135 to 125 lbs (unless they’re like under 5’1”)? I’ve been fuming about this all yesterday and all last night. I posted a thread about being an overweight fitness instructor yesterday, and the one naysayer who’d said they’d have to be “won over” if they walked into class and saw a bigger instructor, was on here to go from 135 to 125 lbs. [Sorry to that person if you’re reading this, but it made me pretty upset]. Do any of you have people in your meetings who are thin, but want to lose 10 or 15 pounds? Does it make you mad?

Again, I’m sorry, but I just had to vent, cuz I woke up this morning still thinking about that post.”

I was reading it and thinking, “I weighed 135 when I joined, she’s calling me vain.” According to a well respected weight loss website, someone 5’1″ should weigh no more than 132, for someone 5’3″ the highest weight is 135 for 25-45 years old, for 5’4″ the highest weight is 134 for up to 25 years old. So she was not just insulting, but stupid!

New Thread

Filed under: Health
December 20, 2006

I joined a new thread on Weight Watchers Message Board. It’s called “20 +/- to go” and it’s on the “Close to Goal” Message Board. Someone asked me to post something personal so this is what I posted.

“I live in New York and work in the city. I take public transportation which gives me 2 AP’s a day because of the walking I have to do. I joined WW for the first time in April, lost 5 pounds in 7 weeks, then quit. I rejoined November 6 after I got weighed at the doctors and realized I had regained the 5 pounds plus 5. I am now at 7 weeks again. I have 1.6 pounds to lose to be at the weight I was when I quit the first time, 21.6 to the weight I want to be.”

Weekend of December 16/17

Filed under: Cleaning, Health
December 17, 2006

Saturday, 16 December 2006
Busy day today. I cleaned the basement. I paid B.T. to help. We collected garbage, crushed cat litter containers to recycle, swiffered, swept and vacuumed. Then I got out the cleanser and washed the walls, the freezer, and the cabinet and moped the floor. Then I had an asthma attack right before I went to bed!

Sunday, 17 December 2006
My arm is sore this morning from all the cleaning yesterday. I took M. to the grocery store this morning, decided to get some things for myself and picked up a 12 pack of 24 oz bottles of water. OW! That hurt. I have had a killer headache all morning. Probably a combination of dust and inhaler. I weighed myself this morning, 131.6 pounds. YAY for me!

Progress Notes Thursday

Filed under: Family N Friends, Health
December 15, 2006

I ate 16.5 points today.

That is really sad. What’s even sadder is I had this post all typed out, wiped it out somehow, and can’t remember what I said. My left shift key is sticking on me. I almost don’t feel like posting my points because I keep falling short of 18. I just had a snack of celery and hummus, it was filling, but very low in points.

I haven’t posted to Beginning Walkers because I haven’t been walking. Wednesday, when I went to lunch, it was raining so hard I took Tom’s umbrella, then on the way back, I just jumped on the subway. My boots were wet and I just didn’t feel like walking up the stairs. Today I was feeling very sick to my stomach. I blamed it on the popcorn I got at GCT.

After the meeting I went to Target for cleaning supplies and cat food & litter. Then I went to Stop ‘N’ Shop for cat food and celery. I go to two places because Target doesn’t have the Senior formula I get for Sassy.

Tomorrow is Em’s surgery. I had changed my goal weight to 109 without telling her. Then she suggested it. She said when everyone else was saying I was too thin at 120, she could see where I could lose more. So I have her support.

Below is B.T.s eye.

Tuesday Progress Notes

Filed under: Crafts, Health
December 12, 2006

I made it to 18, the last 4 in a bowl of ice cream. The website says it is 5 points, but since I had 6 activity points I don’t really care. What makes me mad is I had this all typed out and the blog shut down on me. Now I have to retype it and it is difficult because I am trying to type with white gloves on! I have white gloves on because my fingers are all cracked so I put Neosporin on the tips. Anyway, when I climb the stairs in my building (work) I can make it to the 8th floor before I have to rest. I posted to that thread I mentioned in an earlier post in this blog and told them I was wearing my “skinny” jeans. Suzzy congratulated me. At All Sport I weighed 132.25. I couldn’t weigh myself at home because they were having the book study. Tomorrow is Nick’s concert.

This is a necklace I designed and made. There are some things I don’t like about it. If I ever make another I will fix the things I don’t like.

New WW program

Filed under: Crafts, Health
December 11, 2006

It is finally here, the new WW program. I now have only 18 points to eat a day. Today, I ate 16. HA HA HA. Well, I don’t feel as bad as if I had to eat 20. I reset my profile to show a goal of 110. I think that is reasonable. At my height I can go down to 107. Anyway, my new pedometer shows I walked 10,631 steps today. I earned 7 activity points and drank 64 ounces of water. I told M.S. my pedometer had died so she sent Fred down to give me her old one. He knocked on my door and said, “Bella, I have a speedometer for you! No its a step-om-eter.” He is so cute.

These are some earrings I made.

Progress Notes

I lost 2.4 pounds this week. I am down to 133.2 pounds. My first goal is 132 because that is the weight I was when I signed on to WW and when I put in my weight it has a plus for the total weight change. When I reach 132 and pass it, I will have a negative number.

For my NSV, I was able to wear my red down jacket without the snaps popping open. I can zip up my leather jacket without starting it at my waist and I wore my skinny jeans yesterday. OK, they were TIGHT and I did pop the zipper, but I wore them!

First Post

November 27, 2006

I am not sure how to start this. I guess just like this. I started WW online and started posting comments to their message board. That got me wanting to post my thoughts online. So I am trying this and we will all see how I do.
