Week 27 Day 1 or seeing too much of Sandi Jo

I have been feeling rotten since right before Christmas.  I just can't seem to get the energy back.  I have been trying to take care of me but my health is rebelling at the moment.

I went home early yesterday at work.  I was afraid I might be coming down with the flu but I slept pretty well and did not want to roll out of bed and go to my Weight Watcher meeting.  You know I love those things so I must be out of sorts to feel this way.  I got up and got dressed anyway.  I knew I was going to gain but much to my surprise I lost and lost big time.  I lost 5 pounds even!  I am now a 262 pounds and 3 pounds from 40 lost at a total of 37 pounds gone.

There were tons of new faces and I even contributed at the meeting.  One thing Casey said during the meeting really struck me.  "Don't quit before you talk to me!"  I was thinking perhaps if the first leader I had back in the 80's had said that I would not have reached the 300 pound point.  I promise I won't quit before I talk to her!  I don't believe I will give up on this but that is my promise.

Water is something I haven't been drinking but this past week I can't get enough of it.  Casey says that when we feel as though are lips need lip balm that is because we need to drink water, we are needing to hydrate our bodies.  I now see that.  So water is going to be something I consume more of.

Greek yogurt, everyone is talking about it.  I tried it sometime back and it was awful.  So last week I bought 1 carton of it, pineapple.  Oh my gosh I didn't know you have to stir the stuff off the bottom and into the yogurt.  It was to die for.  I bought more at the grocery Thursday and I am in love with it.  It is so rich and custardy...very filling.

Oh and I had a Jerry Springer moment this morning when I tucked the entirety of both my hands down into my jeans!  Then I realized I could pull them down without unzipping or unbuttoning them!  I think I am going to need a smaller size soon.

So even though I am under the weather I choose joy!  I am proud I went to my meeting, I am thankful I have a great job with terrific people, I am joyful in my husband and our life and I have the most wonderful family anyone could ever hope for.  On that note I hear my bed calling to me and I think I will answer that!  Until we eat again!
