So so far so good today. I got up on time, I am drinking my water..last on the list is to work out and that will happen in about 30 minutes. Yay! one down 20 to go. LOL!

So I haven’t posted in two weeks. I didn’t mean to be gone so long. I want to use this all the time not just on my weigh ins. So last week was a good week I lost 2.4 lbs. I was happy about that. I continued to journal, but not in the 3month journal and not throughout the day, only at night. I hardly worked out…and it showed. This week I was up 1.4 lbs. Not going to shed a tear about it. I am going to make sure I work out every day, and I keep track of my points. Those are the two things that were lacking this week. I had a good week otherwise. Spent some time with dear friends on Saturday. Sunday I woke up with a terrible headache and didn’t make it to a meeting…but then Sunday night I was invited to see Styx and I was so grateful my headache was gone. I had a blast. I even met three of the members. Chuck Panozzo, Ricky Phillips, and Todd Sucherman! Great guys! I will hopefully have pics up later. The rest of the week, I didn’t do much. Tonight I went to WW and Tomorrow I will have a new video up. I will post it here. I forgot to post the one from last week. I am doing a challenge on YT called New Year New Body. It goes until April..not sure what day though. Well that is all for now. I will be back more often. :)

So far so good, been tracking everyday. I am noticing that I am not getting enough Fruits/Veggies in. I am getting plenty of water…well tea more than water, but it is still not soda and coffee..and it is herbal tea, not iced tea. One is called Detox and the other is a similar product but with different herbs. I am bound and determined to get the stones out of my kidney. I am going on a year now dealing with these little evil things. My skin is dry and itchy and it isn’t the weather, it started before winter. I am really tempted to follow a raw food diet, not 100% because well that wouldn’t be healthy. I just want to give my body a fresh start. At the same time I know I am not one who can follow something that tells me I can’t have something. That is why I love Weight Watchers. If I want to have something I can, I just need to check my points. Of course I am not going out and having crap all day long..I don’t want to do that, but there are times especially for us ladies that we need, say Chocolate. :) I don’t want to be a plan that says I can’t have that, it will make me want it, when I don’t really want it, all because I was told I couldn’t have it. It is strange how our mind works in that way. Like a child who is fully content watching cartoons, or playing..and you go to finally get something to eat and all of sudden the child is hungry and wants what you have. Outside of that I am still trying to think of something I can do once a week on my videos. Something different that I can do that celebrates my achievements each week. One of the girls sent a card to herself every week, one person puts a bead on a necklace for every 10lbs she loses. Another tears off a paper link from a long chain she has on her wall each time she loses a pound. Those are great ideas, but not something that is me…I guess I want to do something unique. Well if anyone has any ideas, please comment and let me know. Thanks for reading :) Kat XOXO

Tonight I went to my first Weight watchers meeting in a long time. It was so busy, which doesn’t surprise me, because in the beginning of every year, everyone makes get healthy, lose weight, etc. there goal. So I missed the first part of the meeting, because I was still in line to weigh in. My weight this week from home was quite different from the weight at tonight’s meeting. I was expecting that because I thought the calibration would be different, not the case. The difference and it was a huge difference is because when I weigh myself at home, it is usually in the morning and well I am in my birthday suit. lol! Tonight I was fully dressed and weighed in with shoes. It is how I have always done it. Since this was my very first weigh in though, I may start weighing in shoeless next week. Not sure. Anyway, my weight was 6 lbs off. Yes I know..”ouch” but that is okay, it is a new year, new beginning. So as of today I weigh 229.6 not 223.6. I received a brand new booklet for my weigh ins and tomorrow I am going to start tracking regularly. So the day of my meeting will be the last day of the week and the following day will be a new day :) On the sticker that shows your weight and all of that it gives you what your 5% goal and 10% goal is. I am hoping to reach my 10% goal by the end of the challenge I am doing on Youtube called “New Year New Body” It is a four month challenge, so I think I can get it done in that amount of time if not sooner. I am really feeling very good about this year. I have many goals I want to reach, but this is the biggest. So look out for my blogs and I will also post the videos here that I make on Youtube. Until next time… Kat XO

Today is the beginning of a brand new year. Though I thought I was going to have a million resolutions. I have decided to only have one. I resolve to commit to myself. To do things that will make me happy. I am the type of person who likes to please. I want to make sure that everyone else is happy, because to a point that makes me happy. To a point….then it becomes all about making those people happy and leaving no energy for myself. This year is going to be different. I am no longer going to wait for so and so before I do this or that. I am going to do whatever I want, when I want. I have to stop worrying how the changes I am trying to make in my life affect the people around me. It is my life, I have to live in this body, I have to purge all the things I don’t need in my home, life, ect, and I have to deal with my financial status and you know what? I don’t like this body I am in, I am a Virgo who hates clutter, yet I am a packrat, and I am not happy with my financial status. In turn I don’t like me very much. Then again who am I anyway? It seems I lost me somewhere along the line. So this year is about finding me again, treating me better, and in the end truly being able to look in the mirror and say two things…One: I love myself and I proud of the person in the mirror. and Two: I love my life. I can’t say that right now. Oh sure I am grateful for the things I do have, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t love my life as it is right now and the only person who can change that is me. So I hope you will join me on this journey. Happy New Years Everyone!
