4 Women Losin’ it with Weight Watchers

Well, I’m back. SnarkyChic, CraZ, & I have all been going through/dealing with big changes in our various lives. I am trying to find a job in another state. (in my experience, job hunting does little for one’s self-confidence, I am just thankful for having great friends like these guys and the rest of you!)

I still don’t have a job in that other state yet. But I am still working on it and have a few leads. I will let you know when I get one!

In the meantime, I have been not doing very well on my healthy lifestyle efforts; I fell off the C25k wagon. I am going to get back on the wagon though!

Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I stayed within my calorie goals. Right now, I am using sparkpeople.com instead of weightwatchers. But you can use it with WW. I love it. It is similar to WW online but free and I think it might have more content but I’m not sure. I think that both WW online and this system are great because they provide you with so much information and support. Like I said yesterday was Day 1. Today is Day 2. Tomorrow I will be able to report that I stayed within my goals again today. If I can do Day 1 I can Day 100, Day 200, and Day 365.

Sparkpeople tells me that I should reach my goal weight in a year. Of course, I want to reach it this month but that is not reasonable, one year probably is.

It is pretty close to the end of day 2 and it looks like it will be a great day 2! I have had plenty of water, exercised, stretched, and stayed within my calorie guidelines. I am pretty tired though.

This afternoon I found a fun way to both nerd out and get some exercise motivation. On sparkpeople there are different groups one of them is called the Eowyn Challenge. In the movie version of the Lord of the Rings, Eowyn walked with her people from their main city/keep to a fortress refuge. It was a long walk. When the LOR movies where coming out, some women started the Eowyn Challenge – to walk as far as she did. It has become a challege to walk the paths of the various characters of the books. SnarkyChic & I are walking from Bag End in Hobbiton to Rivendell – 458 miles. Tonight I logged my first 1.8. Only 456.2 to go! Woo hoo! I am still hoping to finish the C25K program this summer after the move, in the meantime, I am getting stronger and building endurance.
