Football

Playoff Football is BAD.....I went to a friends today to watch the Giants then the Steelers game. Of course there was beer, which I drank, and pizza/wings. I avoided the pizza like the plague BUT, the wings were the death of me!!!! So, I had some beers and more than my fair share of wings! They also had onion rings, another vice of mine, although I only had 4.....celery which I tried to eat the most of , but then of course comes the blue cheese.....

So, my points are shot for the week, I used from what I can figure, my daily points plus 15....Ok according to WW, but not OK by me!

Plus, I can't go to the Y to work it off, nor can I walk from exercise as I have been forbidden from that by my doc for another 3 weeks.

So now, I am sitting at home, lifting hand weights and hoping that maybe I can redeem myself.....
In response to Julies blog about weighing more than once a week.......I did do that, and I was always surprised and it kept me motivated. Since I have hit 200 lbs, weighing everyday does nothing but depress me, so I have gone back to the SOLELY once a week WI.....That way I feel better!

I want so badly to feel "skinny" again that it almost makes me CRAZY.....I know that in order to actually get the point that I am comfortable, 30 more lbs must be lost, and lost in a good way. With that though, means giving up beer and all the foods that are my enemy (salty and/or fried foods). So, even though I know that 11.5 lbs in a month is admirable, I am still feeling poorly about myself.

So I am back to my stressful world that I have had a break from for the last month. Back to readings that need to be read, assignments that must be completed, papers that must be written and a dissertation than needs a lot more work....The last month has been great, having time to do nothing but now, it has caught up with me....

My diet/exercise (once I am cleared for the Y again) are my priority, then grad school work, then teaching.....

So, keep me in your thoughts, send me lots of positive energy and keep tabs on this blog as I can use/NEED all the encouragement that you have to offer!!!!!!!
