A New, Yet Old, Strategy

I went to weight watchers yesterday and weighed in at 243. So essentially I've been hovering around this weight for quite a few months now. I tried lo carb but it didn't make a difference.

So what I'll do this week is stay lo-carb-ish. I say ish because if it's not making a difference then I'm not going to continue torturing myself. Something in my body has changed and I don't know what that is. Lo-carb used to work for me. Now it doesn't. However. I feel better. So I will keep lo-carb-ish because my sugar is a lot better and that's really what matters.

I'm going to really track everything through Weight Watchers. This is something I haven't really done well ever and especially since going lo-carb, I was expecting to just drop the weight eating basically all I wanted (it's happened in the past).

Yesterday I walked the 2.2 miles to Weight Watchers and walked a portion of it back (Jovian picked me up and we went out for breakfast..)  Later, we walked to Hugo's for lunch/dinner before walking to a movie. If only I could get that much exercise in every day I'd be set! 

So 243.. only 100 more to go!  :)

Fell Off the Carb Wagon

Just a bit. I still got rid of croutons from my salad, but ate the tortilla chips that were already in my salad. On Tuesday I gave in and ate a Brie and pear sandwich (it was a multigrain bread).  So was I horrible? No. 

I stayed away from WW this week though so I don't know if I lost or gained. I feel good and from my ridiculous scale, it seems as if I've stayed the same.

I got lots of exercise this week and I'm hoping this will continue through this week.  Still trying. Still making decent choices but wondering why I'm not seeing a drop. I fear for my thyroid.  At my last check up my numbers were "off". Now I don't know if because I was told that, my mind is playing tricks on my body.  Ugh!

So I'm still frustrated but I have a much better outlook than last week. Pushing pushing pushing.. just keep pushing...
