I lost!

So, I'm going to try to get better about posting updates. We'll see how that goes. I also need to figure out what on earth is going on with my lack of html lately in this as well as my other blog.

As noted from my last post, this hasn't been a very good week for me food wise. I've eaten sporadically, and when I have, it's been absolute crud - fast food, pizza, high fat, high sugar comfort foods that are easily obtainable. I admit it - yes, yes I do. I haven't exercised one bit other than cleaning my mom's house like a crazy person and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. However... dun dun dun... I lost weight. No idea how. Officially at the doc's office Friday I was 225.6, confirmed on my home scale. Today, I am 219.6, as of about 5 this morning. Pretty happy about that - a full six lbs. I'm tracking my points religiously now, even when I eat shit food, and I'm getting better at staying within my daily points, and definitely using a smaller portion of my weeklies when and if I do go over.

I went back and found some info showing that I'd done weight watchers from Feb 10-Feb 11, and obviously didn't lose anything - however, they don't still have my tracking records, and I was only able to find records from like, September 10 to Feb 11 showing that they'd taken payment for my online membership. I emailed my doc the info - I don't know if that will make any difference or not in the lap band process since she wanted proof I'd done weight watchers for 6 months... otherwise she doesn't want to see me until June. That's all well and good, too - if I can truly lose the weight myself, I'm going to do it. I'm going to try my hardest, for sure. I just want to get it done one way or another. I'm tired of feeling so icky.

I am actually semi on track for my weight loss goals anyways - I was surprised. I looked back on myafirst blog entry at my goals, and I'd wanted to be down to 215 by yesterday's date. I'm at 219.6 - so at least I'm below the 220s at this point! The last time I was anywhere near that was the tonsillectomy period, where I simply couldn't eat. So, here's to hoping I can continue to lose at a reasonable pace. I mentioned last time as well - my tattoo with Patrick is March 30th, and I'd like to be down to around 175 by then. 90 days to lose 45 lbs might be pushing it, but I'm still determined to at least try.

In other news, which could possibly impede my weight loss, I am looking again for some form of part time employment. We have overtime through the end of January, but between holidays and bereavement, I'll only get about 10 hours total of overtime pay, the rest will be straight pay. I'll take what I can get, though. I'm working on my debt snowball, and we're a bit behind - I want to get caught up and ahead! I did get my w2 today though, so that's a start. I have so many goals that I want to reach this year... ack.
