Feeling pretty good.

Today was a great day. I realized I'm really in it to win it and I want to hit that goal this time and stay there. No food is worth my health, pains or bad feelings about myself. That side by side picture I posted the other day I stared at about 50 times that day - I couldn't believe that was me and my change in under 7 weeks. It really made me want to keep going! 

So as I mentioned last time I wasn't able to weigh in while doing the Arabian so I missed 2 weigh ins. I also wasn't sure how the Arabian was going to go, last year I'm pretty sure I gained 10 pounds between the free donuts, cheeseburgers and fries and ice cream it was a bad year food wise. After that show was when I was diagnosed with Diabetes, I wasn't too surprised. However this year I brought my own foods and only ate 2 times at the show out of the 11 days! Go me! 

So here we are 2 weeks later and the numbers are.....

Today I also received another - 5 pound sticker and I got the 5% charm for my key chain - I've lost 5% people!! That's awesome!! 

Well I was debating on whether or not to share this news, but since it might alter my weight loss, I guess in a way I owe it to my cheerleaders/supporters (you) to let you know. Now I plan on pre-making meals and had a discussion with John about not just picking food up and just plan on being positive so hopefully it goes smoother this time. The news is, I have to have surgery again, remember my duct removal of the left breast 2.5 years ago? (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, ask and I'll let you know). Now I have to have the right one done, my surgery is scheduled for March 7th, so it's in a week and half. I will try not to drive you all crazy with it this time lol. I went back to my other blog when I found out I had to have surgery again and read it all, I rolled my eyes a lot at myself ha. So on the 7th just send out some prayers or thoughts and I'll do my best to keep my weight loss going and we'll see what happens! 

Have a great week! 

Until next time...

I survived!

I know there hasn't been a post the past few weeks, this time of year I work for my mom-in-law at the Arabian Horse Show, which is an 11 day show. I didn't get to weigh in at Weight Watchers for 2 weeks, it was torture ha, but I'll be back there Thursday so for this post I have no update on my weight but I have an incredible picture to share, well I think it's incredible!

The picture on the left was taken January 31st and the right, this morning. I'd say I definitely see a difference! I'm kind of excited to see what my weigh in will be on Thursday *fingers crossed*!

Here's just an extra picture of my sister and I, she worked a few days with us. I know this was on Instagram and Facebook but here it is again....

Well I thought the Arabian show was going to be really hard because of the foods. I'm pretty sure last year I gained 10 pounds at the show, daily I had burgers and fries, free donuts and ice cream - it was stupid. This year all except for 2 days I took my food, I had a bin full of low point snacks and a cooler full of drinks and low point snacks, I couldn't have been anymore prepared than I was and I think it shows. 

Thursday I will have another post, a weight update, so until then keep your fingers crossed for good numbers!

P.S. I almost forgot the most important thing - the whole point of this post! My non-scale victory is those pants I'm wearing today are a size smaller! They've been on a shelf with tags for 2 years!

First month on Weight Watchers...

Well technically Sunday will be a month, if we want to be exact! So far I'm feeling pretty good about it. There are things I miss, but feel eventually I won't even think about it. Oprah's new WW commercial about 'I eat bread everyday' frightens me lol. I don't think I could eat bread everyday now. I did before daily, especially at dinner, but not now...

One of my favorite breakfasts though which does have an English muffin is this one:

(Look at that beautiful picture I took)

It is 5 to 6 smart points

Light English muffin toasted 3 points

1 wedge Light Laughing Cow cheese 1 point (halved for each piece of muffin)

2 slices Canadian Bacon 1 point

1/4 cups Egg Beater 0 points

 or

1/2 cup Egg Beater 1 point

5 points with 1/4 cup egg beaters

6 points with 1/2 cup egg beaters

This fills me up nicely until lunch, you can always add a piece of fruit if you need to for 0 points. Love those 0 point fruits!

Now onto the good stuff -

Drum roll please....

- 1.6 for the week

For a total of 12.8 

I'm happy with that!

I decided to start another Instagram that will do more with my weight loss journey as well, so if you'd like to follow it my name is @teesasays_ww I started following a few people on the same Weight Watchers journey and have already found a few great recipes to try! I won't request to add you though, if you want to follow it's up to you! :-)

I think that covers it for the week! The next 2 weeks I will be working with my mother-in-law at The Arabian Horse Show so I won't be able to go to my Thursday meetings but I should be able to run in and get weighed. I'll keep you updated on how the show goes with my food battle eek! It's hard at those shows sometimes, but I'm pretty much prepared with foods and snacks. Just send me wishes to keep my numbers in check!!

Have a great week until next time...
