Day 4/ Week 1

Today was WI day... Normally I begrudge this day cause I know I haven't been following protocol.. but today I KNEW I was going to be down.  I could feel it (and I stepped on the scale the day before).  Yes the day before... my battery died on my scale over night so I couldn't weigh myself this morning.  Go ahead and laugh! I am! LOL

WI was funny... I was given my 'card' and when I got up to the scale knowing I had done well the gal says..somethings wrong.. this can't be you.. I said Oh, are you sure cause I know I did okay!? ... Then I realized that the gal who handed out our "cards" must have handed me the one that belonged to the girl behind me.  She had got them mixed up.   I said "hey either I did real good or she did awesome!" LOL  All of us had a good laugh cause the gal whose card got mixed up with mine (and is very humorous!) is quite a bit larger than I.

We traded cards and all was well... the meeting was good too.  I got 3 "bravo" stickers for my steps.  I had reached 3 more towns since my last count.   There were several weight loss awards too. 
I am "re losing" my weight so I don't get awards at this time for losing.  If I would have left WW (not gone to meetings for awhile) and then came back that would be different.  But when I have been in the same seat for several years and gained while sitting there - yeah I don't get awards for losing the same weight again.

Really, I don't want any awards for losing it until I have actually got my 30 lbs off (where I left off before gaining again!)... then any weight loss after that I am willing to get awards for.
If I got something now I would feel like I would have to explain myself.  Although there are new people attending and don't know how long I have warmed the seat at the meeting.  There are also people attending that are life timers and DO know how long I have been warming the seat.. and have seen me lose the weight and put it back on.

In conclusion to today, I guess I should tell you how much I am down :)

I lost 5.7 pounds!

My goal is to lose 10 by cruise time... I have 6 more weeks to lose roughly 4 lbs... but if I lose more - HEY who's complaining?
