I joined Weight Watchers on June 15, 2007. In April 2008 I became a Lifetime Member. I have maintained my weight and this blog helps me to stay on track and hopefully helps you to find a journey that fits for you!

What did I do today??
Today, when I got home I sat down to tell my daughter what I did this morning. This is what I said,
"Trinity, you know what mommy did today"
Her answer (humorous): "You went to the store and bought food" (I did do that too, after WW!)
My response: "I became a healthy woman for you"
That is what I have spent 10 months doing and what I will continue to do. I became a healthy woman for my child. I want to be a healthy example to her.
LIFETIME!!!
Remember when I cried in the dressing room? Now I have cried in front of the Weight Watchers receptionist! When she wrote down that 136 in Week 6, my eyes instantly started to water. I could not believe it. I had done it. Almost 10 months to the day from my first WW meeting. I have lost 40lbs. My daughter does not even weigh 40lbs!!!
From the day in July 2006 when I decided I needed to be healthy for myself and my family, I have lost almost exaclty 60lbs.
I now can attend WW meetings for free and have a very cool Lifetime Membership card to carry with me. I will carry that card proudly everyday. I will attend meetings proudly every week, to keep me on track and stay a healthy person.

The FitFlop
What is The FitFlop you might ask? Good question! It is supposed to help build muscle in your legs and core. The salesman at Lady Foot Locker said it would even help my posture over time. Below is a move from The FitFlop website showing how they work.
I went back and decided to try on a pair and maybe give them a shot. The reviews were good and I thought "Why not??" If nothing else, I had a cute pair of thongs for the summer! I tried them on, and they were very comfortable. Yes, I bought them!
To use:
The salesman at Lady Foot Locker said to start with one hour a day, because he said you will feel it and feel like you had a hard workout and be sore. Then, he suggested 2 hours a day, 3 days a week once you are used to them.
I am going to walk around the mall a bit this evening, wearing them for the first time. I will update you on how I like them.
