I have a website which I have found very interesting. I found this by accident, as this woman is well versed in a software program that I use, so I have visited her site for that. Her site about walking, could have been written by me............. Read all the excuses.....that's me............

Anyway, tomorrow, I have scheduled in a walk, (after my mammogram), and then I can play on the computer. The next walk is on Wednesday afternoon, if Dh isn't working late. My next planned on is for Friday morning. And then I can fit in another over the weekend, that won't be a problem. I need to tell myself that if I can only go twice in a week, then that's better than none at all. I just always feel that if I can't do it properly then why do it halfway. I know I need to keep the big picture in focus, and not just think about the week ahead. I know that I need to do this for life, so I virtually am stuck with about 20-22 points per day for quite a long time yet. And then who knows how low I need to stay to maintain when I do finally reach my goal weight.

P.S. Here is the site if anyone's

Where I am at.......

I have had a week of indulgences........... I allowed myself to go over in my points and then I don't get back on track like I plan. I really need to reassess where I am at. I know that I need to do WW to lose weight.........I also know I need to make exercise a priority in my life. Since cost is a factor, walking is really the only option..........

Below is the copy of a post I made to a thread on the WW forum. This is to a lady who posts her food diary. She eats some delicious food, and exercises heaps. and eats her bonus points too. She is quite an inspiration.......

"Gwyneth, thank you for your story and history with WW. I too am a LTM, which I reached 19 years ago in my mid 20's. Since then I have had three children (in my mid to late 30's) and have put on weight with each child. I have lost most of it, but started WW again last Easter (2004). I got down to my WW goal weight, at 68kg, and then maintained for awhile, until Christmas. This Easter I weighed in at 74kg, so have returned to WW. Although I am really struggling with it. I find that I have had alot of things on over the weekends, so I save like mad all week, and then allow my extravagances on the weekend. I find however, that I lose weight, and then it goes back on over the weekend, so obviosly my body doesn't like the extra food. I am not exercising at the moment, with young kids and a dh that comes home too late I need to really strategize my exercise time...........I need to make it a priority. I could go on the weekends and then one or two days during the week, that would be better than nothing. I enjoy the healthy way of eating, but I am finding it really hard to stay focussed.........when I lost my weight years ago, I found it really easy, and the program was much stricter than it is now.....as you know.

I am interested that you eat your bonus points, and I like the fact that you eat really well, you eat a good variety of food too. Thank you so much for publishing your diary in a public forum, it is a huge help.............."

Why is it not moving?

I have been doing this WW thing for three weeks, and apart from a small loss, the scales show virtually nothing............. I don't know what to do. I just feel that it's not coming off, and I don't know why. I have gone over my week's food. I will watch my sugar points, by decreasing my wine intake. Although in the whole grand scheme of things, whether your kilojoules are from wine or healthy stuff, the end result should be the same..........less input, more weight should fall off.............

Maybe I should ditch the scales again. I hate having them stare up at me with the same number on them. I won't throw in the towel as yet. I am going back to the Dr. today, so will hopefully sort out some sleep problelms, I feel like the wreck of the hesperis!!! I enjoy being on WW, because when I have a treat, it's totally guilt free.............

Oh why does it have to be so damn hard?

Positive thoughts

Here I am, it's day 4 and I am feeling absolutely wonderfully and fantastically positive about this whole WW experience. I have some challenges ahead of me this weekend. My brother's birthday, and we are all at my Mum and Dad's place, for the first time in many years..........so a very special night. I have heaps of points saved. It's now 2pm, and I may eat some fruit or something, but I have 21 points saved up for tonight, so feel very much in control. Today I tried the WW Beef Burgundy frozen meal for lunch. I wanted something that was 'nice' but low in points. For two points this meal is fantastic value. Tomorrow night dh and I will probably cook something yummy, but if we use prawns and heaps of vegies, it's never alot of points anyway..........

I just went and had my eyes tested today, and, have ordered new glasses. They are red again..........thought that could be my trademark.. especially as I don't currently have red shoes.

Looking forward to a long weekend..........

Here I am

I have spent a bit of time of late reading other people's blogs, and find then very inspiring and insightful. Generally I read those of others who are trying, like me to lose weight on the Weight Watcher program, but I have read other, unrelated ones too.

I am on Day 2, of trying to lose weight at home. I follow the Weight Watchers program where I am given an allotted amount of points, which relate to specific amounts of food for each day.

In this blog I hope to follow my progress, relay my thoughts and ideas, so that hopefully I can inspire someone else along the same journey.
