Wow, this Lifetime stuff is not easy!
It is funny, our WW leader has said a couple times how people loose weight on a diet, then they can go back to eating "normal"!! What is "normal". But I think that mentality is hard to beat. I have had numerous moments over the last couple weeks where I thought to myself, I can eat what I want now!! BUT, I am then smart enough to catch myself and limit the portion!
Changing my life at 30 has not been easy. My whole life I have eaten fast food, eaten a lot, and never really thought about what or how much I ate. As a kid I was very active, so pounds never really added up. Then I got married, got a job sitting at a computer all day, and life just "got in the way". Well, this is life! Life should be taking care of yourself!!!

HUNGRY GIRL!!
I love this book!! I pre-ordered it and received it on April 29. You can find it at Amazon
I get a newsletter from Hungry Girl daily and I read it all the way through. She has some great recipe ideas and food finds! I have the link to the website on the sidebar of this blog.
This book is awesome! The WW points are not printed in the book, but are available on the Hungry Girl website. I haven't tried anything from the book yet, but plan to maybe make one of the soups to freeze servings of! And I never thought Fiber One cereal could be used for so much!

What did I do today??
Every Saturday morning for the last 10 months I have gotten myself out of bed at 6:05 am and driven myself to Weight Watchers (with a quick stop at Starbucks on the way!!). I then get home about 7:45 am, just as my daughter finishes her breakfast.
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!!!
Wow! That is all I can say, WOW!
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
I was walking by Lady Foot Locker the other day and saw this great thing in the window, some very cute thongs, they were white with pink straps. They were on a pair of very long, lean legs, and the woman had on pink boy cut panties. Then, I started to read the poster and look at the product. Then I came home and did an online google search and came across The FitFlop and decided to Google more and look for reviews. I found some great reviews.
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.

Are you whistling at me?????
All my life I have had friends that have been looked at and whistled at. While I know it is not all that flattering, I have always wished it were me being whistled at. Well, last week and again today I was honked at and got hoots and hollars from 20-something year old males as they drove by. Yeah, while not exactly the best age group, but it still gave me inspiration! For the first time in a long time I felt very sexy and attractive.
