Sorry I haven't been able to update you all sooner. I've been pretty busy around here the last few days, and tomorrow is Grace's birthday. At any rate, on Monday was down 1 lb. It would have been more, but since the last meal I ate the night before I check weigh in on the scale was pizza, I wasn't expecting to be down the 2 lbs I was on Friday. I'm not mad or upset, because I know that its totally my fault for eating pizza the night before. But, I'm very grateful that I got a pound out of the deal, too. I mean 7.4 lbs in 3 weeks is not too shabby, I must say.
This now brings me to a total of 31.6 lbs down. I'm still not sure why I'm losing weight better now than I was before. My exercise has been slacking BIG time. Its just been so hard to adjust since school started. I'm too tired first thing in the morning and also the last thing in the evening. Yes, I know those are excuses and that I should workout tired or not. But, that is a hurdle I am trying to get over and overcome. I walked tonight FINALLY after taking at least a week off, if not more. It felt good to get out again, I just need to break through this sluggish time I'm going through right now and get back into a routine. On top of my exercise slacking, I am not following the WW Points program as I have switched to core. Yet, on core I haven't been following 100%. I don't even know if I would say 75%, but somehow, its working. Now you get an extra 35 points a week on the core program to eat non-core foods. So, perhaps while I am not counting ANY points at all, I am falling within those 35 points while I am eating core foods. Each week I say I will keep up my eating the way it is as long as I still continue to lose weight, thinking and half expecting its not going to work, and yet I still keep losing weight. The way I am eating feels very comfortable......really as if I am not on a diet, which I really am not, but I always normally feel like I am. When counting points, there are times where I feel like all I think about is food. When can I eat next? How much can I eat? How many points do I have left? Now, I'm hungry, I eat. I watch my portions and eat good healthy food, occasionally eating something not so healthy and good. I don't get it, but I will certainly take it. I'm happy, content, and feeling strong mentally. Now I just need to work on the physical part in regards to exercise.

don't fall off the wagon! we're pulling for you so much! this is so exciting for you and you're doing a wonderful job
Who was that?? Mom??
And don't worry. I'm not falling off the wagon. I'm still eating right, I'm just slacking in the exercise dept. I'm going to try my hardest to get better with it NOW, but I know as soon as the weather cools down, it will be WAY easier.
think crunchy-fall leaves and wood smoke in the air as you walk and don't forget...pumpkins!
Wow, I'm so proud of you, you're so motivated!
