Stop dieting, start living.

Soooo, I enrolled in Weight Watchers today. Hooray! I am so freaking pumped about it. Like I've said before, I've tried pretty much everything, but the tools and tips they gave me today were so encouraging and seemed so simple! I think it'll actually be fun. I've never really minded counting calories, so I don't think the points system will be a big deal for me. I'm going to my first meeting tomorrow. Eeeek! I'm kinda nervous, but everyone there will be in the same boat as me, so I shouldn't feel too awkward, right? The lady who signed me up was a total doll, too, so she made me feel pretty comfortable. I think I just picture it as like an AA meeting, but for fat people. Am I right, or am I missing the mark? Though that hungry monster on the WW commercials is freaking adorable.

Anyways, I have a confession: since I'm starting the Weight Watchers way of life tomorrow, me and Chase had a cheat meal tonight. It's better than a whole cheat day, but then again I probably ate enough calories (or points) for a day. I felt like I deserved to get a farewell meal in there, since that's what they do on Celebrity Fit Club on VH1.

Welp, I have a crap load to go through as far as WW materials go. I know the basics, but the lady gave me like 3 different books, plus encouraged me to go online and peruse their website. Sounds like I have some studying to do. Wish me luck!

Another little update, in case you didn't see it on Twitter or the Book of Face: I am officially a paid employee of Gold's Gym in Temecula! I've been team teaching Combat there just to kinda get back in the game since I haven't really taught in like a year and a half, but now I will be getting paid for it. YEET! Talk about accountability.

So, are we staying strong, kids? How's it going? Anyone fall off the wagon? Here's the place to let it spill :)

  1. just hurtin mayn! like i'll lose 4 or 5 pounds in a day, but by the end of the damn, im back up because of dinner. I know it wouldn't be as bad if I get to the gym at night too when I get home, but the workouts at high noon on top of the hour drive home just kills my motivation. Like I can feel myself getting stronger and losing body fat, but I wouldn't mind seeing that special number go down too ya know? I just need the heat to go away so I can get all powered up crazy like I usually am.

  2. I had like 4 pieces of strawberry cream cheese danish tonight. Totally fell off the wagon! lol. But the universe got me back by Baby Blueberry making me throw up in the commissary parking lot. Apparently he doesn't want a fat mama. haha.
    Good luck with Weight Watchers! I don't think I've ever heard someone say it sucked, so that's always a good thing. :)

  4. Mike, tell Paloma to knock it off with the Mexican chef side of her! Haha. But really. Dinner is usually the hardest for most people because you're off work, relaxing, and in a comfortable state. So you eat more. Just watch your portions. Put your food on a smaller plate. That helps. You'll get there :)

    Emmy, you're allowed to eat whatever keeps the beh-beh happy. And obvi it's not strawberry cream cheese danish, haha. And I definitely haven't heard anything bad about WW, so hopefully it'll keep me in check.

    Mama D, WHY AREN'T YOU WALKING?! Haha, you know you need to. You'll feel better. Get on it! And have you thought about Weight Watchers? I know being in a group of women isn't your thing, but you can consider it a last resort if you're stuck at that plateau for much longer. And I am keeping my chins up. Both of them :)
