March: Lent begins

Good gravy train!! I haven't written anything since January! Oh dear. OH well....this is just for me anyway.

Continuing my Weight Watcher's except....been forgetting to log my food points - NOT good! Weighing every day - VERY good! I am now down 11 pounds. WebMD says I'm still overweight but I'm getting closer every week.

I gave up cheese for Lent so we'll see what effect that will have. Calcium is important for women (H says "especially for a woman YOUR age"! Thbbpt!!) so I'm not giving up Dairy just actual, real cheese. This is hard because I am a cheese-a-holic!! I also am cutting back on FB to once a week. After Lent I would like to try to limit it to once a day.

We are nearing the end of having H's full paycheck and I confess to be a bit nervous. We've gone over the finances and should be okay but.....until we are actually living on a reduced income....then we'll know how doable this is for real!!

Almost forgot to add photos and I couldn't decide which one looked worse so I added both! Ha! Not sure one can tell that I've lost weight BUT a friend did ask that glorious question this week so I guess one can tell if they see me in person. Starting to think I need a new hairdo. Hmmm......

Day one of weight loss journey

Decided to start a new blog. Not intimidated because no one I know has time to read these things anyway so.... This is going to be my journal for my healthy 2014. I have decided to start being honest with myself regarding my weight. There is only one thing that has ever worked for me and that is Weight Watchers...with the caveat that I have to be TOTALLY honest with what I track!! To cheat is only hurting myself. So far so good. Week 1 and I have lost 4 pounds!! Yay!!! I know someone who is going to be posting their picture throughout out their pregnancy and I'm thinking that might be a good way for me to go with this. Just one more reason why I am NOT going to advertise this blog! Ha ha!! Hmmm.....I think I need to find a full length mirror in which to do that. Will post today's head shot. Maybe before/after class at the gym!!
