I love this picture only because we are on the most gorgeous beach in the most gorgeous country of El Salvador this past March!! Plus this was a new bathing suit purchased just for the trip!!This trip was the start to my weight loss journey~or in a better phrasing and mindset, healthy lifestyle and choices way of life!!
And I think that is the only way that this journey will ever be successful, is to have the mindset of not being on a DIET AGAIN!
So let me introduce myself!! I am a 45 yr old single mom of a 15 yr old boy and I live in small town Ontario!! I am a full time Primary Care Paramadic, in my 24th year, who works 24 hour shifts!! I know crazy but the time off (ever other week is something to thoroughly enjoy!!)
I am a size 14/16 and my weight is an embarassing number that maybe perhaps one day, I will be able to type on here.
I am not really a writer but I think that writing my journey will make it an easier process. I don't know that for a fact, but will give it a valiant effort and see what happens.
I joined WW online a week ago today and tracking food intake and activity points, has been easy and not time consuming at all...so thus along comes the journalling aspect, but only after seeing a few ladies post in the msg board they were going to try it. And I look forward to watching their journey as well.
I had a great week, and when stepping on the scales this morning for WI, I was down 3.3 lbs and very happy. But I did blow it all out of the water, in my minds thinking, on Friday night when an inpromptu gathering happened in our neighbourhood to welcome a friend and new neighbour. I must admit I LOVE my red wine and well, we just didn't eat ~~BIG mistake~~ my stomach was topsy turvy on Saturday morning...but I did go down on the scales and that made me happy!!
I am going to sign off for tonight as the hockey game is starting!!!
Cheers and I look forward to journalling my way to a healthy and lighter lifestyle!!
Lizzie I'm so happy you joined our blogging group. I wasn't sure how many would respond when I posted the suggestion on Sunday. Oh, you must be wondering who the heck is Yvonne....LOL it's me, size82B, the one who got this rolling. Feel free to add me to the blogs you are following......
ReplyDeleteHi, twotoast here from WW! This was a fantastic idea from size82B - Kudos to her. I'm going to enjoy reading about each other trials and tribulations on this journey. And I have to agree - this is not a diet, but a lifestyle. If we return to how we were eating before WW, then along comes that weight again :o)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weigh in - mine is on Wednesday and although I expect to have not lost nearly as much as you, I hope that there may be one or two little pounds that have chosen not to stay with me!
