Week “Seven” Weigh In- Going Strong
Filed under Day to Day by kristen at 7:19 am on Feb 21 2010
Well, as you have probably figured out, last week was kind of crazy for me. Besides celebrating Megan’s 4th birthday (which included a special dinner at home, a party at preschool & a family shindig yesterday) we had three more showing of our house. Every time I think I am going to get the the gym, something throws a wrench in my plans. I was able to squeeze in some workouts at home but no trip to the gym.
I knew that I was strong all last weekend. Perfect. NO. More conscience of my eating. Definitely! So I went to my weigh in yesterday not sure what to expect. Wouldn’t you know. Down ONE POUND. WHOOOOOHOOO. After last week’s one pound loss (1.4 total but .4 was from the gain the week before) I wasn’t sure what to expect. That means I am only 7.2 pounds from my Weight Watcher goal. And if I want to get even more technical, I am only 5.2 pounds from “being legal” with the two pound allowance WW gives to lifetime members. It feels so good to get back to goal. I am going to continue to work hard even though I am not sure I will be able to hit my goal that I had set. I was hoping to be back to goal before we left on our spring break trip. We have never gone out of town for spring break. This year we will be going to Disney. I am so ready for some sun. So I have less than four weeks before we leave. We shall see.
OK. Some have asked for an update on the house situation. Here is just a quick update. We had THREE more showings this past week. Including one showing which we had TWO HOURS before Megan’s birthday party yesterday. Stressful! We have had some other things happen but I am not ready to jinx us even though I really don’t believe that would happen. Just staying positive. We have had six showings in eleven days. So you can kind of get an idea of what I am been doing. LOL
One last thing that I want to mention. I am never too busy to hear from you. Yes you. I had someone mention yesterday that they thought I was too busy and didn’t want to bother me. YOU WILL NOT BOTHER ME! 
If I am too busy for your email it just might take me a little longer to respond. But I will respond to you. I am not the know-it-all of the weight loss world. I am just someone who has struggled with her weight pretty much her whole life. Email me. We can support each other on this journey.
I am off to go cuddle with my adorable four year old.

Go Kristen!!! The stress in our weeks certainly doesn’t help, but once you get the house sold, into a new one and into warmer weather, life will be wonderful!!!
And it is so wonderful to share the journey together, isn’t it??? I’ve been at lifetime goal weight for almost a year, and I know hard times are coming (graduation for my oldest, convention, etc.) but we just do what we can, plan the work and work the plan…and pick ourselves off, dust it off and get back on track when we fall down. THAT’S when the support from your friends is truly important!!
Have fun with that cuddle time…wish my 14 and 18 year olds would let me cuddle…LOL!
