Thank you Laura for the nice comment you left :) I'm glad you read my blog! :)
Okay, so diet news. I'm still tracking on this FatSecret.com, but I'm looking at the calorie intake rather than the points. So if I have 30 points a day, that's about 1500 calories a day and that's enough to make me lose 1 lb a week. The 30 Points a day is my 25 plus 5 out of the 35 weekly points I get. So either way, I'm golden.
I've been playing badminton all day pretty much so my arm is sore!! lol It hurts while typing lol.
Today's been fantastic with eating. Yesterday was great also. I think I'm doing okay so far....I mean it has been 8 weeks just about :) Yay!!!

Get Inside My Head
To the very few that read this, please read this post to get inside my head.
This past weekend camping trip was so much fun...it really was, but it's nothing like getting off track that makes me feel worst the most. I planned my meals for every day that weekend. I thought I did so good. Come to weigh in on Monday morning with a gain was just a blow to my overall confidence about my diet.
So what am I doing right this minute? I am re-watching Shanti's old videos because she is amazingly inspirational to me. I remember when her and I first started talking when she first joined YouTube. She's lost all her weight and got to goal, well her first goal. She did all of that by counting calories and exercising. She makes it look so easy.
It's hard when I see a gain on the scale after what I thought was a victorious weekend, food wise. If I'd have known I would have gained, then I should have actually eaten what I was craving. It's hard to not give in to temptation, it's hard to stay on track, and it's hard to do that while you are the only one dieting.
This blog is all over the place because that's where my head is at tonight.
I've been on Weight Watchers for almost 8 weeks now and look at my stats:
W1: 189 (-3.0)
W2: 186 (-3.0)
W3: 186 (maintained)
W4: 185.5 (-0.5)
W5: 186 (+0.5) (need to start losing here)
W6: 186 (maintained)
W7: 187 (+1.0) ugh..stupid camping lol
Wow.......I mean I'm happy that I've lost 5 lbs and have been able to keep it off, but this is clearly not working. I feel like I'm eating to maintain when in my head, I want to eat to LOSE!! It's not showing!
Where am I going from here? Not sure. I'm still going to post weigh ins on my page, but really what's the point?
Let's see if I can turn this week around? I might actually listen to Shanti's advice like I did last summer.....at least last summer I saw changes......
