Obviously I am sorely in need of better time management skills! I never seem to have enough time to get everything done in a day. I have had the thought that I need to cut something out but I'm not sure what that would be..
So anyway, I realized this morning that I need to change my aproach to my blog. I need to think of it as an extension of my tracker and I need to update it every night or I get behind and then it's daunting! So that's the new plan.
I had my weigh in yesterday. I gained .4 of a pound. I wasn't surprised. This week will be better. I am making adjustments and moving forward.
So...Happy Saturday! I'll be back tonight!

Uh-Oh!....
First week back and I'm falling behind already! Owning my own business and having a life seems to be a bit of a challenge for me! So anyway...
I'm still on track with Weight Watchers. I am tracking my food on my phone...I'm just not findng a lot of time to be on line. Sorry...no photos for this one. No time to post them.
Monday was one of thse weird, snacky days. I wanted to graze all day long. I tracked it all and was within my PointsPlus allowance when it was all said and done (used some more weeklies)

Saturday April 16, 2011...
Saturday was one of those "hit the ground running" days! I was literally busy from early in the morning until late night...but it was a great day.
The morning started with a "Laundry Date"... When Vern and I were dating we used to gather up our laundry and go down to Ocean Beach, an ecclectic little beach town here in San Diego, and do laundry together...every Saturday morning. We hadn't done it for a few years but we have been super busy and putting our chores off...and off...and off...So, we had a laundry date. We got up early in order to get there before the Saturday morning crowd. It was fun and we had all of our laundry done in a couple of hours. (I still haven't put it all away...lol)
After the laundry we came home and I had breakfast and showered and headed out for my "Knit Together" group. I get together with a group of ladies from my church, once a month, and we knit or crochet for charity.
After Knit together I went to my parents' house for a visit and to pick up my sister, Joyce, for a "Sister date Night." We went to dinner and then to the San Diego Symphony for the evening. The special guests were The Temptations and we had a ball!
I got home at around 11:00pm...whew! What a day!
So....here's my tracker entries for the day. I dipped deeply into my weekly points allowance. I'm still getting used to being in the blogger mindset again so I forgot to photograph my dinner. We went to the Sizzler and I had the Classic 6oz Steak, with a baked potato and the salad bar. Honestly, I thought the points totals were going to be much higher than they actually ended up being. I'm satisfied with my choices. The weekly points allowance is one of the things I love about Weight Watchers!
One more thing...I didn't have "lunch" yesterday. I had a huge bowl of oatmeal, yogurt and fruit mid-morning and then dinner with my sister. I had the fruit and peanut butter when I got home last night. The peanut butter is one of my guilty pleasures lately. I was tempted not to track it...that "cheat voice" in my head...but I tracked it anyway. The psychological advantage foor me of tracking it all is the realization that I'm still "on plan" ....that's what the weekly points are for. So Yay me!! Day 2 back on plan completed!

It's a New Day...
That's the new Weight Watcher's Points Plus Plan slogan. It hangs on the wall in a couple of differn't places at my meeting. This morning I noticed it again and i took a deep breath and said to myself, 'yes, it is." And I was relieved. I had been looking forward to my weekly meeting because it marks the end of the old week and the beginning of the new. So when I looked up and saw the poster this morning I agreed in my heart that it is, indeed, a New Day.
It's been 7 months since I have blogged. It's been about the same length of time that I have been screwing around...on plan one day and off the next. I haven't stayed consistently on plan since Thanksgiving. Fortunately, I have been on plan enough and my habits have changed enough that I haven't really gained weight. I'm up about 2 pounds in 7 months...so that's not awful.
But this morning as I was driving to my meeting I realized that I miss the anticipation I used to have before my weigh in. I miss being excited that I've been on plan and the numbers are dropping.I realized I have awakened too many mornings feeing sluggish and ashamed because I ate to much the night before. Yes, as I was driving to my meetings this morning I realized that I miss truly being on Weight Watchers. I walked into that meeting ready to get serious again, ready to stop making excuses for going off plan....ready to start fresh. Yes...it is indeed a new day!
Somewhere in my thinking and driving I also realized that I need this blog. I need the accountability (even if only to myself) of blogging my journey.
So here I am...here at my blog to step in to that new day.
