Week 2
Week 2 assesments.
It was a HARD week. For whatever reason I wanted to eat all the time and everthing that was not good for me.
It was a hard week.
I came out even, so I'm calling that a small victory.
It was however, nice in the weather department and we were able to go out walking three days. We both love being outside. :)
This week I hope will be better, as far as my mental abilities.

Week 1 Results
Here we are at the beginning of another week. I realize that today is Tuesday, but I had to facebook all day yesterday, ok? Not really. Gosh, sometimes I want to blow up facebook.
Anyway, last week, the first week of the new year on Weight Watchers (to be forever after referred to as WW) was good. It was good. I lost 2 pounds, there is also the issue of being able to wear my wedding ring again and I felt good about myself. I also did not go down the chocolate alley at the Piggly-Wiggly on Saturday night's grocery shopping.
I've also been tracking my blood pressure. I seem to be sitting right in the mid 130s for my top pressure and the mid 80s for the bottom pressure. It's sort of good. I need to be better. I will be as I become less of myself -- and that's what we should all strive for, to be less of ourselves, right?
Anyway, we literally are marching on. My baby son likes to watch the walking DVD. No, I mean he parks it right in front of the TV while Leslie Sanson is giving us a pep talk about walking. He won't watch cartoons or any of the garbage on nick-jr, but he'll watch and exercises DVD...weirdo!

Today
I didn't really track today. I gave myself the day off. Baby boy had tubes put in his ears and what I ate was the least of my concerns today.
It is ok to take a day, once in a while.
And this week has been really good.
Next week will be too!

Under Pressure
I would also like to say that I took my BP this AM. 126/85. I know the top number is good, I'm not sure about the bottom. But I would just like to say...stick it to the doctor's office!
I told them the day of my physical I was on sudafed and nervous, because wouldn't you be if you were going to get your lady parts examined?
Umm-hmm, ya.
More will follow on this I'm sure.

This week in half review
The first week is half way thru...
It's always the hardest in the beginning. But this beginning is not nearly as hard at that first beginning back in 2007.
Tracking is something that is always hard. I start out good in the AM, but by dinner I just forget. Despite that, I have stayed within 2-3 points over my daily points allowance. And to step down from my sweet tooth, which the holiday season did not help any, I've just had one or two cinnamon graham crackers after dinner. They are sweet enough to do the trick, but not sweet enough or full of fat to submarine me. I know in a few more days my palate will be where it needs to be and I won't even need the graham crackers anymore.
One thing that I love though are oranges. I'm from Arizona and grew up in an orange grove. In Arizona, during the winter (when the citrus comes in) you just don't buy oranges at the store, you just don't. Usually there are calls up and down the street and across town from families to "Come get some citrus. We're swimming over here." It's great. But being in the deep, dark winter of Northern New Mexico (I know not nearly as gnarly as say Minnesota or Nebraska -- or so my friends there tell me), there is no citrus and you have to buy your oranges at the store. For shame, for shame.
This year I actually did good with a box of Christmas navels. All of them have been very sweet and almost, but not nearly as good as oranges from our trees at home. So we'll make due with what we have. In good news though, my 13 month old son loves oranges. I slice them up into "smiles" for him and he likes to gnaw on them for a snack. A true Arizona baby, even though he was born here.
So for this week, down a pound, getting things back under control Only three more pounds to break into the 190s again...and that will be good.
