Back to WW

Hello!

*steps up to mic* "Is this on? Is there anyone out there?"

It's been quite some time, so let me catch you up on my life! Weight-wise I was still meandering up the scale, reaching 217, but four weeks ago I decided to go back to WW. I did lose over 130 lbs when I was going regularly, so I really wanted to try to get back into that mindset and stop these gains! 217 is exactly 40 lbs higher than when I hit goal three years ago. Eek! Hadn't worked that out until just now. Das a lot!

So I went back to WW and the first two trips back were quite unsatisfying. I ended 14 days 0.6 lbs UP from where I started! I worked hard to not get frustrated, especially after I had spent the last weekend before that WI, working out more than I can ever remember! Ran on Friday, Biked on Saturday, and did a Run/Swim/Run combo on Sunday. But then last week dividends finally showed up with a 3.4 lb loss. So I'm re-invigorated about WL and WW and look forward to another good WI this Thursday.

So with the MS150, July ended as quite the active month for me.
July's totals:
Bike: 20h 43m 45s - 257.8 Mi
Run: 2h 40m 39s - 15.56 Mi
Swim: 50m - 800 Yd

Considering that all those numbers were pretty close to zero for April, May and June - that's pretty amazing!

I will try to check in more often!

Return to WW, Mojo Renewed

Went back to a weight watchers meeting today! It's been a few months since my last visit, but the goal today was to get plugged back in to weekly meetings, and get the new material. WW changed their program a month or two back, including how you calculate your Points Target (how much you can eat everyday). Well as it turns out, my target went from 24 to 32! I can eat 33% more and lose weight - because it says so in their book!

OK, in reality I feel there is no f'ing way I can lose weight eating that much food (~1900 calories) - based on past experience. So here is what I'm going to do: eat 30 pts a day and try to avoid any weekly points allowance (you get 35 total). I've started journaling today and am taking in vast amounts of water. I have 3 months till the flying pig - it's time to get the weight off and running miles up!
