22nd January weigh in and a small short term goal?

I'd had another good week with filling and healthy. I ate food I enjoyed as well as one meal that won't be getting made again. 

I did a lot of walking so was fairly confident that the scales would show a good loss. That was until I woke up Tuesday morning and I felt horrible and bloated for no real reason. Later on my reasons would be know. - dreaded Mother Nature! Gutted. She always effects my weightloss with either a very small loss, stay the same or a tiny gain. I went to bed feeling disappointed as my hard work this week wouldn't show on the scales on Wednesday.

I went to class on Wednesday feeling lousy and bloated. I was fully expected a big fat 1lb gain so was plsently surprised with a tidgy half a pound loss. My emotions was a bit conflicted; happy I had lost but sad because *I* felt I had worked hard enough to see more of a loss on the scales.

I left with the hope that my hard work last week and this coming week will give me a better result next week.

Looking at the bigger picture; I am down 8lbs in just 2 weeks. I have 3.5lbs left of the weight I put on over the 3 weeks off at Christmas and then an additional 2lbs to get to my lowest weight as of yet. 

I have set my self a small goal, I am back up to 80lbs lost so have 20lbs to get that next certificate. It's 17 weeks till mine and DH's 5th Wedding Anniversary and I would love to have it by then, in fact I want to weigh 12st3lbs as that would take me to a total of 7st 7lbs total loss. I feel with hard work and dedication that this goal is more then achievable! 

I am a terrible blogger.

I promise my self that I need to update my blog, but truth be told 'life' is just passing me by. Right now I am going to make it a late New Years resolution to update here regularly.

So what's new?

I am down 79lbs since September 2012. It was more but then Christmas got in the way and I gained 11.5lbs in 3 weeks. Good news is after a week back on the plan I am already down 7.5lbs on that gain, so that's good!

I am still a weight watchers monthly pass member and I still attend my weekly meetings. I try and walk at least 10,000 steps a day and let me tell you some days that's easy, others it is not.

Right now, I am partaking in the weight watchers simple start plan; I am currently on week 2. I am keeping the same routine as week one as didn't want to use all my 49. I am sticking this out in the hopes I can shift the rest of this Christmas gain. 

The whole idea for simple start is that for new members filling and healthy or pro points (the other two weight loss methods) can seem to some people like jumping into the deep end. Simple start promises to ease new members into it and help old members back on the straight and narrow.

Anyway... That's my quick update.

I'll be back soon
