The weirdest thing happened today

Today was such a hard day. The kids were whiney, and needy, and throwing tantrums. I was overwhelmed and stressed and grumpy and I admit - not the best mom. Ben was in time out for a lot of the morning (and actually a lot of the night) This is not the weird part. 

The weird part is I was really looking forward to going on a walk tonight. I couldn't wait to walk. I needed it. I craved it.   It was weird because I've never had that happen before. I don't love walking. I don't enjoy exercising. I'm not athlethic. But I'm begining to. Its growing on me. I usually walk a mile or a mile and a half but tonight I walked 2 miles and it felt GOOD. I walked to the end of our street and just didn't want to turn around so I kept walking. I sweated, I burned, I was tired, I kept walking and it felt good. It was awesome.

I earned 7 activity points for it. 

I haven't had Jim take Pictures of me yet but here is an updated avatar until then lol. This is "me" at 202 lbs

Hello Weight Watchers

So I've decided I'm tired of being fat. For Mother's Day this year I asked for a subscription to Weight Watchers online. 

I'm really loving it. I've decided to start this blog to keep track of my progress.
My starting weight was 230. My total goal weight is 155. That's 75 pounds. I weigh in once a week. My weigh in day is Monday. Last Monday I weighed in at 221! I lost 9 lbs. YEAH!!

Tomorrow is my second weigh in. I'm a little nervous. I've really been working hard at this. I walk a mile every night with my mom and in the morning I work out on the Wii fit. 

I'm allowed 33 points a day and then I have 35 weekly points I can use whenever. Last week I used 9 weekly points. (That means I went over my daily points by 9) Here's how the week breaks down

Mon 5/4 (The day I started the program) 35.5 points
Tues 5/5 - 28
Wed 5/6 - 23.5
Thu 5/7 - 29
Fri  5/8 - 29.5
Sat 5/9 - 31.5
Sun 5/10 - 39.5 (This was Mother's Day so I expected to go over points)

You also earn activity points by exercising. Last week I earned 22 activity points.

This week I didn't use any of my weekly points YEAH! Here's this weeks breakdown
