Conspicuously absent, huh? (Or not so conspicuously, since about 3 people MAYBE read this blog, and I've probably lost the minimal readership I had thanks to not posting much.) Well, last week was CRAZY busy because the husband was working 24/7 finishing a paper, which means I was working 24/7 at a) my job and b) taking care of le bebe while husband was finishing his paper.
The good news is, I weighed in on Thursday and lost another 1.2 lbs. With the gain of the previous week, that's still 8.8 lbs down! Yay me. I only logged 9 activity points out of the 10 I was hoping for, but that's pretty good.
The notsogood news: We went away for the weekend and I totally indulged. I didn't count anything, I didn't journal anything, and I didn't pay any attention to my diet. I recognize that this is technically not part of the program, but with the weight I have to lose, I have to be in it for the long haul. And that means giving myself a break occasionally, and that includes when I travel. I don't travel much, so this is not a big issue in the grand scheme of things, but whoo boy this weekend. I ate a donut bigger than my HEAD (OK, maybe a third of the donut. No way I could finish that thing.) I drank cocktails. I had Dungeness Crab Canneloni and whole fried fish and a blackberry scone and it was glorious. It was totally worth it. But it wasn't failure. 3 days in the years it's going to take me to get this weight off is a mere drop in the bucket. And so necessary to my sanity.
To be fair, I also walked my butt off this weekend. That's the upside of traveling.
Now the 6 points I went over yesterday because I finished a bag of pretzels -- there's just no excuse for that. Onward and upward!

Was your title about me...or just using the term "missy" loosely? LOL
All I can tell you is that this weight-loss struggle is just that - a struggle! You really have to start to look at it as a long-term lifestyle change and not a diet.
I started with WW (for the 3rd or 4th time) in October of 2007 and I have lost 57 pounds to date. Has it been easy? NO WAY. But.... it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be.
You have to realize that it isn't just about WHAT you put in your mouth, but it is also about WHY you put it in your mouth.
Hang in there....you can do this!
