Weigh In

Well I didn't get a chance to post this on Tuesday, so I thought I'd get to it now.

Last week's weight: 290.8
This week's weight: 293.2
Gain: +2.4
Total Loss: -20.6

Well, a weekend at the track is most likely to blame, I didn't track my food and drank a lot of alcohol. However, it was so worth it, as I had a blast. I always look forward to spending time with my dad. In a previous post I talked about my NSV and climbing all the stairs. I was really proud of that. Also, getting my Gruve green 3 out of the 4 days we were up there. I knew the food would be bad, but I can control the activity, so that is what I chose to focus on.

This week, I am looking to losing the weight that I gained, and possibly losing more.

I've already had some struggles, I've attended 2 classes/trainings that are work related, I haven't been tracking my food like I should, and I really need to get back on the wagon. I will not achieve all of my September goals, but I am going to recommit to those that I do not achieve in October's monthly goals.

I really enjoy the meeting, and the support that it offers. This week's topic was about asking for help, and why we don't do it. Pride is usually the answer. We don't want to admit that we are weak. I can totally see that point, but I've already got Ben's support, every time I've asked if he's wanted to go for a walk with me, he does, and he's so good when I ask for his input. I need to ask the boys at work to help me out. One of my guys LOVES to cook, and I just have to be better about asking him what's in the food, so I can count my points.

On a side note, since this blog is about my life in general, I am trying to plan a wedding. Ultimately I'd like to find a venue and secure a venue and a date before the end of October. Then I would like to take a break from wedding planning until after the new year. I coordinate an annual toy bank program for children in the community that I work for, and it's a lot of work/stress.

Venue hunting has been very stressful, but Ben (H2B) and I are looking at a place on Saturday, and I am looking forward to our first adventure in wedding planning.
