My journey: Weigh Day!!

Today was weigh day and as I missed last weeks class because of work I had expected to be down. It has been 2 weeks since my last weigh in and as I stepped on the scales I felt very optimistic. I was then told that my weight had stayed the same. This was not such bad news - it would have been a whole lot worse if I was told I was up. I stayed for the meeting and was very shocked that I was the only other person besides 3 new members that had joined.What is happening?? Have people lost their motivation to stay at class?? I mean what I personal find helps me each week is staying for the class and listening to what the leader and others' have to say! I was very disappointed as there was not much to talk about and so I just listened to the explanation of how Weight Watchers works. I hope next week there will be some people staying for class as it is so vital in helping people.

So with the knowledge of knowing that I have not lost anything in the last 2 weeks I had a rethink of what I was actually doing wrong. I am still attending my 2 Zumba classes a week. I am eating o.k, it could be a lot better though. I have not been tracking as frequently as I do, alright I have not been tracking at all. This is my down fall because if I were tracking I would not be tempted to eat some of the food that has passed through my lips in the last few weeks. When I track I know exactly how many daily points I have left throughout the day and so would try my best not to exceed these.When I am not tracking I wouldn't even know how to guess how many points I had used. I suppose I am lucky in a way that I did not put back on any of the weight I had lost over new year. I would be gutted if I had to lose that all over again. So I have decided to start tracking asap. No time like the present so I am writing every thing down that I eat and drink today.

I am surprised that I did not put on anything, maybe I have had a lucky escape. I think my saving grace was Zumba classes which are starting to get harder but I am still enjoying them. I am sweating more which is good as I know I am burning more calories. I am also still doing my sit ups every night and I am also now able to do 3 Min's of the plank. This has helped my stomach tone up a lot in the few weeks that I have been doing these. This is a bonus that I am extremely happy about.

With the weather being a bit milder I have starting walking again.I updated my ipod and I enjoy going for a long walk listening to all my favourite songs.It actually makes the walk go much faster:-)
