About


Hi! 

I'm a 30ish year old lady who has struggled with weight and body issues my whole life. I'd like to use this year to get to my goal weight, maintain it, meet some great people, support them, and generally find out what makes me happy beyond food.

My goal is to hit my WW maintenance weight of 138 pounds by April 2011 2013 and then hit maintenance by my birthday. Here are my goals for where I’d like my weight to go.

It’s important to me to both get to my goal and then to maintain. I know that they are both important and different things. I get it.

I came back to weight watchers in August 2012.
Full weigh ins here!

Goals

Weight/Shape
  • Weight around 138 pounds. For a long time 141 was my magical weight but I think it’s been the number in my mind for so long I can’t reach it. I think 138 might be easier. Note that this might be lower than my final weight since I do plan to be muscly. I'm not very tall so this is a realistic weight for me.
  • Shopping is fun again
Strength & Endurance
  • Able to do a pull up on my own
  • Able to swim for an hour

Behaviors I’d like to create for myself

Exercise Behaviors
  • Working out 4-5 times/week
  • Getting up with ease to workout
  • Not feeling stressed about getting up or worried about upcoming workouts

Eating Behavior
  • Able to go out and eat and feel good about it
  • Eating around 9 fruits & veggies a day
  • Eating minimal sugar,  nut butters and wheat products (I think this works best for me). Some is ok but don't overdo it

Mind/Body/Writing/Blogging Behavior
  • Blogging 5-7 times a week as I’m getting to goal; blogging at least 3 times a week after
  • Doing daily morning behaviors
  • Going to Weight Watchers weekly as a lifetime member
  • Sleeping 8 hours/night
  • Daily meditation

Here's what I plan to write about:
  • Weekly meeting topic at Weight Watchers meetings, my thoughts, how I’m going to make it apply
  • Daily plan of what I'm going to eat and a screenshot of what I actually ate 
  • My accomplishments and what I’m working on this week
  • Recipes I’m trying and like
  • Regular weigh ins (probably every other week-- every week doesn’t work well for me), and how I feel about them. See them all here!
  • Emotions
  • Things I agree with/disagree with in the weight loss, healthy eating world
