Vacationing and food...

We went on our anniversary trip last week. Our original plan was Key West, but the weather wasn't going to cooperate, so we went instead, to Seattle..

I halfway watched my points during the first day or two but then I just got totally off track. I ate cotton candy, I had a soda for the first time in months, and I generally thought, it's vacation, I won't worry, just get back on track when I get home. I did get steps in every day, on my fitbit, as we walked and explored a lot.



Saw Pike Place Market, walked along the waterfront in downtown Seattle, then we drove and visited Bainbridge Island, and on up through the most gorgeous Norwegian town of Poulsbo, (Where I bought and ate a BIG walnut/apple sticky bun!)



We went on a whale watching tour out of Port Townsend, Saw ORCAS!! so awesome..


Anyhow, we got home, I was concerned about what I gained... My weigh in day was yesterday. so I was very very apprehensive to step on my scales.. I LOST 1 POUND AND 2 OUNCES!!! How I did that I don't know.. but I will take it!

Start back to school today, taking 12 hours of classes, back to work tomorrow (dreading it due to Harvey) But life is busy, and I found I can occasionally eat garbage, and STILL LOSE WEIGHT!

We are losers

(post from the End of October - not sure why it didn't publish!)  As of this week, I have been on Weight Watchers for 3 1/2 months.  Daryl's been on his weight loss program for 4 weeks... and he's already lost as much weight as I have in almost 4 MONTHS!!! But I'm doing low calorie, I am doing Weight Watchers, and they are a slow loss program.  So we are both losing together now. Me much more slowly, but that'ts ok!  I hope he really sticks to this after his work contest is over. I can already tell the difference in him, although he can't tell in me....    Here are a few photos of us - through the years, we may NEVER get back to where we were in the top one, but hopefully be far different than the one from Thanksgiving last year.     And this is our latest together - I am not thrilled with how I look, I was laughing and look like I have three chins again... And I am wearing smaller workout capris...

Slow going.. but STILL losing!

Things aren't going "fast". And I am totally ok with it.  Took me many years to get this fat, so it's quite alright for my body to take its time losing it all.  I am down almost 18 pounds since I was at my highest weight in June. I didn't really start trying to lose weight until July 7. So I don't think I am going to terribly bad.  I have stuck to my Weight Watcher's Smart Point's program for the most part. Went totally off on vacation last month, and Jessie and I spent this past weekend traveling to California and back for a quick visit. TOTALLY didn't count points, but just tried to make healthier choices - other than the soda I did drink at the Airport on Friday, and at Foster's Freeze on Saturday. But I got my steps in, running around at an airport is definitely good exercise. And then walking at the Santa Monica pier with our friends helped get them in also. I expected to have a gain when I got home, or maybe, hopefully, stay the same.  ...
