Health Wise Wednesday: back on track

Saturday I went to my first Weight Watcher’s meeting in three weeks. I missed two weeks because of travel and one week because of flu. I was worried I would have to pay the registration fee again, but my leader just had me pay two weeks and I was good to stand on the scale.

The funny thing about this meeting is we were only weighed, given a recipe (Cindy gives us one every week), and sent on our way. Poor Cindy had no voice, so there was no way she could lead a meeting. It was nice to see we now have a receptionist who helps Cindy. I don’t know her name, but she lost her weight via Weight Watchers and going to the same meetings we go to now.

I was thrilled that even being gone for three weeks I still lost almost 4 pounds. I think it was all the walking I did at Disney. Or the flu our family suffered for two weeks. Either way, a loss is a loss.

Over all, I have lost over 11 pounds since I started. I’m thrilled to say that. To me, 11 pounds is a big deal. I did it through more activity and better eating. I didn’t resort to diet pills like Orovo, alli, or hoodia (though I was sorely tempted).

I still have a long way to go to reach my goal, but I’m working toward it!
