So in my last entry I talked about how I was doing well with exercising but struggled with food. Accountability is a pretty big issue for me. The great part about the small group training is that it gives me that accountability because I've made an appointment with a trainer and I know I need to be there. Food was still an issue for me and I must be honest, food is still an issue for me. But I finally decided that I needed to invest in myself. I joined weight watchers.
After 5 years of not being able to do it correctly with calorie counting I knew that I needed something that was simplified for my busy life. I spent all these years berating myself because what once worked, wasn't working any longer. I couldn't figure out how I was able to count calories and exercise at a regular gym 5 years ago and successfully lose almost 30 lbs and not be able to do it again. I honestly can't say I've fully figured it out now. But what I can say is that people and situations change. My situation back then was different. I had more time, I had friends who were on the same journey, I had "C" who was my accountability buddy through-out, and I wasn't comfortable in my relationship. When you aren't comfortable and you start thinking about the fact that you could be thrust into the real world with dating & judgement being passed every second, you tend to feel the desperation to try to be thin. My relationship improved and we went back to being happy and comfortable - and we stayed there since. I no longer had the same friends on the same journey - people got busy, people moved, people had different priorities. I no longer had the accountability buddy who was there daily even when I didn't want her to be there. Like I said, things change.
So while I have always splurged on myself for material things I decided that I needed to hold back on the material things and splurge in a different way - by investing in myself and my health. The small group training gym is unbelievably expensive, but I'm going to figure out how to make it work. Weight Watchers is not nearly as expensive as people make it seem - I think it's a good way to spend your money if it works and guess what? It works for me!
I've been on weight watchers since the beginning of this week and I've been dropping weight daily so far. When I first started at the gym I was 243. When I started WW I was 242. This morning I weighed in at 237.8. Whether it's water weight or fat - who cares! It's a nudge to continue following the new healthier lifestyle. Now, I'll admit that I have yet to get rid of the bad habits of eating too much food even when I know I shouldn't be eating it but I LOVE that WW guides you towards healthier foods since the healthier foods are lower or zero points. I find myself choosing vegetables for dinner instead of carbs. And I'm currently finding myself shopping for healthier lunch options - on the menu today is a baby spinach salad with hard boiled eggs, almonds, and a honey dijon vinaigrette. Yes, I know there will be the occasional slip up where I get the Italian sandwich, chips and a diet coke (like last night, for example) but practice makes perfection - I'll keep trying and practicing new healthier habits until they stick.
I've even prepared for this weekend. With mother's day around the corner and friends visiting on Saturday from Florida - there are plans all weekend long to eat out so I've planned everything I will allow myself to have on Saturday and Sunday making sure that I stay within my calories. I will use up all my allowed weekly smartpoints this weekend but that's okay! That's what they are there for and it will force me to go back to the healthy lifestyle at the start of the next work week.
You have to find what works for you and stick to it. Finally, I feel like I've found what works for me. So happy :)

I am almost at the end of week two with the small group training and I can honestly say that while it is so difficult to get through the half hour with the trainer, I enjoy it. I feel the buckets of sweat running down my face and I actually feel like I'm accomplishing something. Going to this new gym that is all women just gives me a sense of comfort that the regular gym didn't.
Tonight's workout was full body and I was with the male trainer, by myself because apparently no one else likes going to the gym on Thursday or Friday nights. Not complaining, that only means that I get the full attention of the trainer and my workouts are that much better. Let me tell you, he is TOUGH! I get a little disappointed in myself when I can't make it through a full set without stopping. But I also know that I have to walk before I can run. I led and still lead a very sedentary life style. Expecting myself to be perfect with every work out is only setting myself up for failure. So for now I just push as hard as I can knowing that one day what I'm currently doing will be easy for me. I look forward to that day!
The one thing I continue to struggle with is food. I have to find the time to get rid of all junk food in the house. Problem is: I don't live alone. My fiance likes having junk around the house because he can simply go by without eating it until his "cheat day". Meanwhile, I can't. And yes, we've tried the whole "out of sight/out of mind" thing. There's only so many hiding spots in a small apartment. Eventually I come across the hiding place and I end up eating the junk anyway. I think maybe now that he's successfully lost 70 lbs I can convince him that we don't really need the junk laying around the house. That we can simply treat ourselves if/when we want it by only buying what we will consume that day and nothing more. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try.
Today as I was headed out of the gym I had a moment where I thought to myself, come on - you can make it home without thinking about fast food, you can do this! Because, if I'm being honest I have a hard time controlling my fast food cravings. I do my workouts and then swing by a McDonald's and I know that's ridiculous and completely counterproductive but I have issues with food and cravings. Issues that I'm desperately trying to control. The good thing about today though: I actually thought to myself that the fast food would only ruin the amazing workout I just had. And my brain immediately created a picture of a healthy plate of food. I drove home and made myself some chicken with fresh green beans and a tiny bit of homemade cilantro lime rice that I had leftover from a previous meal this week. I was proud of myself for not going by the fast food drive through. It's a small victory but a victory nonetheless. It would have been a perfect night if I would have been able to avoid the candy/junk laying around the house.
On a side note: 2 days with 10k steps so far! I'm making it a point to get up from my desk at least once every hour to walk around my office. My joints feel sooooo much better this way. Sitting at a desk for so many hours a day really does a number on your body. Funny how I didn't even realize it until I started paying attention to exactly how little movement I was getting in my day.
Anyway, tomorrow is a rest day and Saturday morning I'm back at the gym. I am anticipating being very sore tomorrow. Joy!
