Day 2 - Ups and Downs

Yesterday, after posting, I decided to get a haircut. It was a nice change and it felt good to pamper myself a little. I got some layers and now I can wear my hair down a little more often. It definitely lifted my spirits. Although I've felt fairly hopeless the last couple of months, I'm starting to see a glimmer of hope.

I've made plans to go to the gym and start back on Weight Watchers tomorrow and I really have faith I can do it for the long haul this time. I won't say that I'm not scared (and intimidated by the fact that I need to find better coping mechanisms), but I remember how good I felt when I was getting in shape and it pushes me forward. In August I'm going back to visit family and friends out of state and I am determined to go back looking better than I did when I left. My goal for the trip is 180 lbs, which is my halfway point. It's ambitious, but 40 lbs (give or take) in three months is attainable if I really put my mind to it. It's going to take some real effort and focus, but I believe I can do it, one day at a time.

New Hair!!!

Day 4 - Temptation

After a stressful day, it's hard not to crave snacks and sweets. I found myself wanting just that as I strolled through Target earlier. I waited too long to eat and got way too hungry. It almost backfired, but I held it together and got some pretty makeup instead. I wasn't able to make it to the gym, but I did stick to my Weight Watchers and that's my primary goal. The first week is always the hardest! Making my dreams come true! =)

Day 6 - Ugh...

As usual, the day has been filled with ups and downs. My teeth and tongue still hurt and eating is really difficult. I didn't count my Weight Watchers points, as I'm just happy to eat what I can. If this isn't better tomorrow, I'll have to talk to the dentist. I can't deal with another day off track, it's discouraging. I'm hoping to get back to the gym tomorrow or Saturday. The bright side to my day is that I got to spend time with family, my hubby and daughter in the morning and my Momma in the evening. My husband and I hung out with our cutie and ate homemade french onion soup. My Mom and I watched Hart of Dixie and watched my little one practice walking. It's been a fulfilling day in many ways and I feel very blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. Throwback Thursday =)

Day 5 - Pain and Happiness

It's been another day filled with many ups and downs. I didn't get much sleep due to insomnia, so I awoke exhausted. My main plan for the day was going to the dentist to have 3 teeth repaired and it;s been incredibly painful. It's forced me off my Weight Watchers, as I can hardly eat anything that isn't ready to swallow, so I'm just trying to keep my strength up at the moment. I have no intentions of letting it take me off track though, I just have to think of this as self care today and possibly tomorrow. On the bright side, we got a new car today! That's enough to lift anyone's spirits! It's such a blessing and relief to have reliable transportation. All in all, I have no complaints, just a toothache. My attempt at a smile while still numbed up and our new car! =P
