Weigh-In ... Just the Facts

Today's Weight:  168.0

Loss/Gain:  + 0.5 

Once again, I feel like I've maintained.  I have only gotten one good workout in this week, so it's been a matter of simply trying to keep my eating in line.  That happened some days and others it didn't.  I'm okay with it. 

Tomorrow morning is a Mother's Day Brunch at our church that I'm in charge of.  I've been crazy busy this week tying up loose ends, along with fitting in doctor's appointments and a monthly military spouse meeting I attend, etc. etc.  

To some those may sound like excuses, but they aren't.  They are the facts.  That's my life right now and after tomorrow I know things will slow down a bit and I'll be back to my regular workout routines. I also plan on striving for better in the eating area, but I'm not sure I'm going to keep with the online Weight Watchers.

Honestly, the only reason I don't want to stick with WW is because I don't care for the format of the food tracking app as much as I did My Fitness Pal.  I have noticed I do not track my food as much with WW, and I think it's because it's become a chore for me.  I was comfortable with My Fitness Pal, I knew the app well and I loved the "multi-add" feature.  So, I will go back to that shortly (and save my money, because there's no monthly fee to use it.)

Let's see... anything else??

No, I think that about wraps it up for this week.  Let me leave you with some cheerful thoughts...

Last evening at church I received two compliments that really touched me.  

One was from a woman who sits behind us every service.  She loved my new blouse (that fits me -- she's always getting after me to get new clothes that fit.  lol ) and said I have to have lost much more than 20 pounds since I moved here.  I told her, "No, I've only lost 20 in the last two years.", but she said I look just wonderful and insisted I had to be wrong.  :)   Now that kind of talk will always cheer a gal up.  (I told her it's probably the good girdle I wear. hee.hee. )

Then another woman who has lost about 90 pounds herself a while back looked at me and said, "You know you're the same size as me now!!" (with a HUGE grin on her face)  We used to attend the same Bible Study and had a few chats about food, struggles with food and she told me how she was heavy until about 5 years ago.  I was like, "No... really?", and grinned.  Maybe I am.  She laughed and said, "Hopefully that's not a bad thing." *giggle*  It's not.

If you read any of my posts this week you know that those little conversations were much needed encouragement for me.  My outward appearance is simply proof of the inner battles being fought, so when victory is showing sometimes it's encouraging that others notice.  

That wraps it up for today.  As always, thank you for checking in!  I hope you all have a nice weekend and don't forget to let your mother know you're grateful she gave birth.  :)
