Yesterday, I worked a total of 14 hours – it was a long day! I had a meeting to attend which was 3 hours away, so a lot of that time was travel time. The meeting went well, which is good. And I'm glad to have the OT.
I woke up this morning with a sore throat, which is not good! I haven’t been sick in over a year, so I figured I was due soon. But I don’t have time to be sick; I am really busy at work and I need to spend my entire weekend painting! I hope I feel better soon. And it’s not like I can work from home right now, my house is a construction zone and I wouldn’t have any quiet. So, I’ll have to make it through the week somehow. As long as I don’t get any worse, I’ll be okay.
Tonight, mom and I are ‘officially’ going back to WW. We are signing up tonight and attending our first meeting. I really hope knowing that we have to go to WW to weigh-in every week gives us the motivation we need to be successful. I think initially, we are going to get a bit of scale shock since I’m used to weighing myself first thing in the morning and without clothes. So, I think I will be pretty shocked with my starting weight tonight, it will be the highest number I’ve ever seen on the scale. But, nowhere to go but down! I’m actually looking forward to this since it’s something mom and I can do together once a week and I am excited to try something different, since trying it on my own has just not been working.
The men are finishing up the mudding/sanding today hopefully so that we can prime tomorrow. The bathroom is getting there! We are going to paint on the weekend and our vanity is in so we can pick it up on Saturday. I can’t wait to see it! Our flooring should be in by Saturday too, so we’re going to get that as well. I think by this time next week, our bathroom will likely be done! I can’t wait!

Gotta love OT right? Sometimes anyway. ;)
Don't worry about the number on the scale too much. It's just a number, it doesn't say anything about who you are as a person or define you. Easier said than done though, I know. Just think how impressive it will sound when you get to goal! ;)
Hope you don't get sick. I hate getting sick. :(
Thanks for the encouragement, nej! I know I shouldn't be too concerned about the scale tonight. It's just a number, you're right. I am happy about every other aspect of my life.
The funny part is, when I started WW last time 6 years ago, I considered myself "fat". Now, I am probably around 5 pounds heavier than I was when I started last time, and I don't really consider myself fat right now. I could definitely lose some weight, but I think I have an average body type right now. I don't consider myself as being as large as I was when I started before, but in reality I must be since I weigh more now.
I don't know if my perception has changed or if I am less critical of myself or what. I don't really have a specific goal in mind, I don't think it's realistic to want to get back to my goal weight from before, it was too hard to maintain (obviously). So, I would like to lose 10% of my weight and then I'll go from there and set a goal weight at that point.
I am actually really looking forward to going back to WW meetings since I'm trying something new. And I'm glad it's something that mom and I can do togther every week.
So how'd the meeting go last night? :)
I know what you mean about perception though. I remember thinking when I was in grade 9 that I had fat thighs. That was when I weighed 20lbs less than now. Now I think my thighs are pretty darned great! ;)
I shudder to think what my grade 9 self would have said when I was 50lbs heavier than now. Geez, when I write that, it's pretty amazing. I've lost over 50 lbs since 2A! Holy smokes!
How many potato sacks would that be?!
Just remember, you can do it. It may take longer than last time, but if you stick with it, it will come off. You just have to be more stubborn than your body... lol
