Funny how fast time goes between blogs! Sorry I've been negligent here. It was best friends weekend and I got to hang with my incredible besties so please forgive me. So here it is, week 2 of doing Weight Watchers completed. Let me begin by saying that I have had everything I want this past week. That's the beauty of Weight Watchers - its just learning how to stop when your satisfied as opposed to gorging just because it tastes good. I went out to Mama's Food Shop - a southern food restaurant - for dinner Thursday. Then to Spice Thai for lunch on Friday and out to La Dinastia which is a Chinito place ( that's what I call it when Chinese people serve both Chinese and Spanish food) Friday evening. I decided to make wise choices and had roast chicken and roasted veggies at Mama's, chicken w veggies and brown rice at Spice - and even had the crispy spring roll appetizer, and chose a pan fried chicken breast over salad at Dinastia. I also enjoyed some stuffed peppers that Amy made, some chocolates that Lynne gave Daniel, and even a piece of rugalah at church coffee hour. All that said - I lost 1.4 pounds this week :). So two weeks makes 5.2 pounds gone :) That's like a bag of potatoes if you think about it. Okay, odd comparison but yeah, that's pretty cool. I'm not encouraging the indulgences. It was just for this special weekend. But even in those indulgences I tried to make wise choices while giving myself allowance to live and enjoy. So yeah, I'm pretty proud of me. Little steps on the big long winding road.
And I also took some me time yesterday. It's not something I normally do but know I need to get into the habit of. Even God took a day to rest. I used my time to clear old emails and catch up with some people I spoke of neglecting a few blogs back. And then it happened - I became an addict! A Pinterest.com addict. Oh my goodness! I spent hours just looking at the photos there and posting and pinning my own and then reposting others pins. It's basically a photo sharing site of various pictures from the web according to your interests. I looked at baking pics, graffiti, sarcastic quote pics, foods I want to cook - hours and hours went by. And there I sat again today at work on my iPad doing it all over again. ( check it out if you don't already know about it - you do have to 'request an invite' to become a member which takes a few days but it's well worth it). It's so much fun and free and addicting - and not fattening at all!
My little steps towards losing weight, making time for me, and interacting with people via the world wide web have all been small successes for myself this past week. Woo hoo for me!
Stay tuned......hopefully there's more successes coming soon :)
