what a difference a year makes
I was thinking a lot today about why I’ve been struggling since September. Well maybe struggling isn’t the word, but losing focus. I’m still basically where I was in September but there has been a lot of up and down and a lot of crap food choices causing the ups in that up and down . Where on earth is the focus and commitment I had from March to September? And what can I do to get it back?

By Cari, on December 30th, 2010% really tried to get back on track with tracking from Monday this week. Didn’t track Christmas weekend so much for not wanting to see what I ate so much as tracking the amounts would be hard (i.e two olives, one slice of prosciutto, some italian wedding soup). So I vowed to start over on Monday and have been pretty good. My neuroses are still there though.
I used to see it most with bacon. I didn’t like the points for 3 slices so I’d change it to 2 as if that would matter to my body. As if the . . . → Keep Going: my tracking is insane
By Cari, on December 27th, 2010% that’s what my doctor said to me this morning after entering my weight and looking at what I’d lost in the last six months/one year. It really made my day/week. I’ve heard that from immediate family but I don’ t think I’ve heard it from anyone else. Coming from a medical professional especially. Now I just hope my numbers are good. BP was 112/78 which I think is good. Don’t really know.
We also had an interesting discussion about my goal and whether it’s doable. It’s going to be an interesting six months for sure.
I was also happy . . . → Keep Going: “I’m very proud of you”

and yes that holds true whether or not you cock your head sideways to see the pictures that I don’t know how to edit.
Over the last few months as I’ve gotten dressed in the morning I’ve put clothes that no longer fit on my desk chair. Over the last few weeks I’ve worried about the stability of said chair. I also picked up my laundry from the . . . → Keep Going: I have way too many clothes
By Cari, on December 18th, 2010% I don’t get it, but I’ll take it.
When I stopped tracking on Friday (I know, I know), I was 50+ points in the red. Most of that damage was last Saturday and Sunday, damn you Sour Patch Kids. However a fair bit had been during the week when my meals consisted of brownies and chicken wings. Gotta love holiday season and events. I can only blame the calendar so much though because I certainly could have made better choices.
On the plus side, the crappy food was the meal and not dessert on top of a meal. On . . . → Keep Going: 2.2?
By Cari, on December 12th, 2010% someone said yesterday in my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday that the benefit of the new Points Plus program is that it forced her to go back and look things up. The more I think about it, the more I realize it’s true. I’ve been struggling for the last three months, mainly of my own doing. It’s annoying to think I’ve been in a self-induced stall for 1/3 of my time on Weight Watchers so it’s back to basics.
Went back to the gym on Friday and was supposed to start yesterday but a (tracked!) evening snack fest derailed that. So . . . → Keep Going: Back to Basics
By Cari, on October 29th, 2010% and appreciating them. They were a huge help early in my weight loss journey.
NSV. Non Scale Victory. Things that are going well when the scale is not.
Some that still hold true:
I get compliments. Both from people I see regularly and people I haven’t seen in a while. I’m comfortable in my clothes. I don’t need to change as soon as I get home due to tight fit. I still prefer comfy, but the comfy clothes are smaller. When I change in the morning because something doesn’t fit it’s most often because it’s too big rather than . . . → Keep Going: I need to get back to NSVs
By Cari, on October 23rd, 2010% up, down, up, down.
Good news is, I weighed in today and lost all of last week’s gain as well as 3.6 down from two weeks ago, which was an official WI. I’m now lower than I was on Labor Day which was either two weeks into the yo yo or the beginning of it. I’ll get excited if I maintain or lose next week, I’m tired of the yo yo.
WW gain and loss since 9-4
Since Sept I’ve lost a grand total of 3.2 lbs or 5lb/week. If it was a case of getting close to goal . . . → Keep Going: and the yo yo continues
By Cari, on October 16th, 2010% I have been on a damn yo yo since I hit the 50 lb marker on Labor Day weekend.
I am tired of losing and gaining the same 4 lbs.
I have no one to blame but myself.
The latest insanity? 50+ points in the red last week. On the plus side, I tracked it. The B2B challenge keeps me honest in that respect but I need to re-break some bad habits that are creeping back:
-night munching -munching from container, not a portioned out amount -giving in to cravings (Hi, 26 points in a Subway sandwich) -soda . . . → Keep Going: Tired of losing the same 4 lbs
By Cari, on October 10th, 2010% NFL. Weight Loss. Life. My attempt at blogging. Anything but the Yankees.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely thrilled with the Giants being 3-2 and two strong wins, but there are a lot of crap teams in the NFL. Not crap as in “oh my god they’re awful”, but crap as in “really? You didn’t know you needed to show up all four quarters?” But of course, I’m watching all of it. I am a junkie.
I shouldn’t be calling 51 lbs lost mediocre, I know that. I’m just in a rut and it’s frustrating. Shouldn’t be, because it’s on . . . → Keep Going: Shades of Mediocrity
