Well that didn't go quite as planned...

My weigh in on Saturday didnt go quite as planned. I though that I had eaten very well and stuck with the program this past week, with the exception on Wednesday. The end of the week ended up being very stressful, with the passing of my father in law, but all in all I thought I did fairly well. Then on got on the scale... UP 4.6 POUNDS!?!?!? I could use the excuse that I weighed in at a different Weight Watchers location as to why that could have happened. But making excuses doesn't get me any closer to my goal. The stress level around here is still a bit high, but it well eventually disapate. I just have to stay on track and the weight WILL come off.

Something to work for...

All the success I have had in the past with weight loss has been due to the fact that I had a goal to focus on. When I started it was the goal of being less than 250lbs by my wedding, after that it was so I finally looked good when we went back to Disney World. So as being healthy, fitting back into my closet full of clothes, and being able to ride coasters with my Goddaughters wasn’t enough I have set a reward for reaching my goal weight. I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SURF. There I said it, it’s posted on here (kind of written in ‘stone’), and now I have a goal reward to work towards. I have always secretly wanted to learn how, and now it’s not a secret anymore. When I reach my goal weight, I will treat myself to surfing lessons.

Hershey Park: Fun in the sun and a hard smack in the face...

So as I mentioned in yesterday’s blog I was looking forward to “Springtime in the Park” and felt like it might give me the smack in the face that I need. Well ask and ye shall receive…1st up was my favorite old coaster “The Comet” which I was able to squeeze myself into. It was a bit uncomfortable but I figured that if I could handle that the rest of the day would go well. Boy was I wrong… After the Comet Mary and I decide to head over and get on “The Claw”. Well as I squeeze myself into this one, the attendant come over and sees that the shoulder harness must not be locked into the correct position, and begins forcing it tighter to no avail…then it happened…I was told I was to large to ride. I laughed when I had to get off because that’s my defense mechanism, so no one on the ride could see my complete embarrassment. As I stood there and watched Mary ride and tried to choke back tears, I realized that I needed that to happen. I needed to be completely embarrassed. As it stands now my Goddaughters are coming to visit and go to Hershey Park the end of June. I refuse to be embarrassed in front of them, I refuse to not be able to go on any rides with them….

Weigh in results for 4/3/2010

Well I am up 2.8 pounds from my last official Weight Watchers weigh-in two weeks ago. I can’t say that I am completely surprised due to the way we have been eating the past week or so. So here I sit, looking a number that is 2/10ths of a pound away from being back in the 300 pound range. To say that I am extremely frustrated with myself at this point might be one of the biggest understatements of the year. I really wish I knew why it has been so hard for me to get the focus back that I used to have. I know that I can do it…I just don’t really know why I seem to not do it. Well not that the weather is getting warm out Mary and I want to try and start running. I found a really nice path across from Hershey Park that looks like it is secluded enough that I won’t embarrass myself too much. Tomorrow might be that wake-up call that I really need, since we are heading to Hershey Park for “Spring Time in The Park”. We’ll see how comfortably I fit into some of my favorite coasters, and hopefully that will smack me in the face a bit. I do want to try and not eat anything really bad tomorrow for the few hours we are there, we’ll see how that all goes.
