Oh Geez!

As you all know from my last post, I am ALL for covering up jiggly parts BUT today I have seen it all! And this is truly ridiculous!

Skinny Arms

What do you all think!? Would you wear them!? 

Summer is here!

The last two days have been in the 90s! I am not a big fan of summer and I am almost 100% sure it is because of my weight. The heat and I do not get along, especially at night. Luckily the bf and I bought an a/c for our room before this heat wave started and I sleep like a baby!

I have a confession, pretty much all year round I wear a jacket not a heavy one just a light jacket. This jacket is like a security blanket....it hides me...so I think! During the summer I look like a freak wearing this thing! haha my excuse is that in the office the a/c is on all day and the place can get a Lil chilly. Once I am outside I am OK with taking it off. I am a big fan of dresses and flip flops during the summer, obviously I like anything that is non form fitting.

Do you have a security blanket? Anything you always wear?

As for my weight loss I have been a tad discouraged.... I have been going to the gym in the mornings and I do eat well, for the most part. I just know that I can do better! MUCH better! I tried to do a weight loss challenge at work BUT it just wasn't working...I was so hurt by all the negativity that surrounded the challenge. I am at such a good place in my life, engaged and all, and I couldn't handle the stuff people were saying! I am really really sensitive! Like REALLY! A lot of people say who cares, don't worry about them BUT its just the way I am if I don't have 100% approval & I am discouraged I forget about it. I know its awful, and this wedding planning is really helping me with that because I am learning A LOT of people don't agree with my planning and since it is MY wedding and I will do what I want I am learning to shrug it off =D now if that attitude would just spread to other things that would be fab!!

Hope everyone is doing well! If you still read Say HI! and leave your link! I am all for showing love =D

and if you miss me, you can find my "regular" blogging over Casa De Nicole

Week 4~Yay!

I Promise!

I have not fallen off the wagon!

Last week was tough! So glad Mondays start the clean slate!

I am kicking this weeks booty! I hit the gym the last 2 mornings and made great food choices! I am very optimistic about the rest of the week.

How is everyone doing!?

I would like to start blogging daily again BUT Family Feud and Bejeweled get the best of me!

=D

Blah.

I am here and I am doing good!

My meals are getting Boooooooring!!! Hence the lack of food posts! Its the same E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y.

I need to switch it up! Grocery shopping is Sunday. ANY SUGGESTIONS!!?!?

Please!

Thank You =D

Where have I been!?

Dont worry I have not fallen off the wagon! In fact I am here to report my weight LOSS for this week!

And why you ask if there is still a pep in my step over ONE measly pound!? WELL because on saturday I may or may not have

had a basket of these

AND 1 of these

AND THESE

BUT I had a blast and its not like it is a mystery as to why I only lost a pound! I happen to think a loss is a loss, better than a gain!!!

Happy Monday! =D

I Should Be Gettting Paid For This

Now before I ramble on about the greatness that is Weight Watchers Online, Let me just say I am NOT in any way shape or form getting rewarded for this by ANYONE. (Although its totally welcomed) With that being said this program is pretty much awesome! There are very few negatives and don't worry I'll get there :)

POSITIVES
~ I can track my points right on my blackberry. This feature also comes on iphones and I think any smart phone that has windows....I think.

~ With said feature I can also look up food values, recipes AND if I absolutely must go that route I can look up Fast Food!!

~ And the last thing about above mentioned is that it also has the points calculator! So need to pull out that sliding contraption or the bulky calculator that you have to whip out at that grocery store and let everyone know you are on the program!

~ The savings! There is a special right now that bundles 3 months. The initial is a bit pricey but like I said it covers 3 months and there after is a way cheaper than what you pay monthly in person.

~ The support, the tips, the encouragement! All helpful tools to succeed.

The Negative

~ Its 100% online! There is no accountability, Its ALL YOU. You don't go to meetings to chat, and weigh in. BUT for me this is a POSITIVE. I rarely like the leaders because they get a bit condescending and half the time they can't get the group interested enough to even talk! AND I get discouraged when I see skinny skinny girls crying that they're fat when they barely make the medical cut off to be in the program! Really!? Bite me! I think they go in there to see big girls like me to make themselves feel better! But that just me :)

~ The only other "negative" is the scale! I love the accuracy of their scale but if you invest in a legit scale than you shouldn't have a problem! My scale was a lil over $40 and is very accurate! I step on it 101 times on weigh in day and its the same EVERY time. I don't know the brand but its a glass biggest loser one.

So there you have it!! Bottom line I love it! The online program is insanely easy and convenient! I highly recommend it!
