WW Update

This week: down 4.0
Total so far: down 23.5

YAY! I am at my lowest weight since starting WW in July! I gained 3.5 pounds over the last 2 months, so I lost that plus another half pound all in one week! I guess my body likes the new program!

I will have to work really hard to maintain while on the trip, but if I gain a pound or two, I am okay with that. I will start fresh when I get back. I`ll still be careful while I`m away and eat lots of fresh fruit and get lots of activity!

Crazy last few days!

As most of you know, my grandmother (Oma) had a stroke on Saturday. So, it has been a hellish few days. Thankfully, she is recovering well. She`ll likely need to be in the hospital for another couple of weeks.

So, that certainly puts a damper on the trip to Florida. Since the rental house is paid for and we can`t get a refund this close to the time, my mom is insisting that the rest of us (me, Carlos, Julie, and nej) still go. Since Oma is stable, I think she would want the rest of us to still go and enjoy ourselves. My mom wants us to come back all refreshed since she`ll need lots of help when Oma comes home.

With Oma`s dementia, she won`t even realize she`s spending Christmas in the hospital or that I will be gone for 2 weeks. We`ll have a little Christmas celebration once she gets home.

What a crazy few days! I am so thankful she is doing so well! And I`m thankful this didn`t happen while we were on our way to or in Florida as Oma was going to be coming with us!

New program = new start

This past week, WW unveiled the 2011 program which is very different from the current program. It now takes into account the carbs and protein of different foods, so that's cool. Also, the best part is: all fruit is now 0 points! YAY! So, mom and I have both been maintaining for the last almost 2 months, so now with this new program comes new motivation to get the weight loss train going again!

Of course, we are leaving for Florida for 2 weeks at Christmas, so keeping on track with WW will be difficult. I'm just going to try my best, eat lots of fruits and veggies, and walk lots!

I am loving my Wii Fit! I have earned 15 activity points this week so far (so between Saturday and Wednesday) - not too bad if you ask me! That should help kick start my weight loss as well!

Julie is now 22 months old - I can't believe it! She is going to be a cow in the nativity play at our church on Sunday - can't wait! She is going to be the most adorable cow ever ;)
