WW

I’ve been on this health journey for a few months now and I feel like I was back and forth and back and forth. If I wasn’t seeing “fast” results I would jump over to a very restrictive yet “fast losing” program. After a few days of deprivation, I would totally fall off the wagon which would lead to guilt and more eating.

I was in this cycle for a long time, probably the last 12 years. I’ve always felt that Weight Watchers was more of a lifestyle change that I could do forever. I always had it in the back of my head that this would do that program after I lost all my weight from one of these quick programs.

Well, friends that have not worked and I go into this deprive/binge cycle. I have recommitted to Weight Watchers, now WW. No matter how slow or fast the weight comes off, it will come off and I am learning how to live my life.

This week I was tempted to return to this quick fix program after I had not lost any weight this week. But I held strong and said no, keep with it, you will lose those pounds. You will see this through.

Every time I go back to WW, I feel a sense of calm, a sense of peace. My family eats healthier with more fruits and veggies in the house and my kids are learning healthy eating habits.

Join me on WW’s Freestyle program. With WW Freestyle,  It’s easier than ever to eat what you love & lose weight. Here’s one month free to explore!

The Best Laid Plans

Fall break didn’t go as planned, I got a terrible sinus infection and ended up on the couch basically the entire time. Two rounds of antibiotics,, and two weeks of rest, finally did the trick.

The kids slept over my mom’s house one day and had a fun day of shopping with her.

Towards the end of the week I had to work at church and the kids came with me and hung out for most of the time and played with friends. I’m so thankful my job allows that.

I had serious momguilt so I took them to Sky Zone on Friday so they could burn off some energy. It was crazy busy during Fall break but they jumped for 2 hours and had a blast.

And Sunday after church, we went to the Museum of Nature and Science. We closed it down at 5PM and my oldest was in such a hurry to leave, she was terrified we would be locked inside the museum, like in the movie Night in the Museum, so funny!

Overall, not what I had planned but sometime, slowing down and resting is what you need.

And guess what, the kids enjoyed their break. I need to remind myself that sometimes, its OK to not be going here and there and just being together is enough.
