CoCo's Corner

I'm starting this before I head to my Weight Watchers meeting in about a half hour.  So - it will start before I get the determination on how this week has been for me. It's been a struggle this month.  Slow going but I ended strong!! This month has been a struggle.  I gained the first week.  The second week, I lost all that I gained, plus another .6 pounds.  The next week, I was exactly the same.  So for the month of August - until this point - I've lost .6 pounds the entire month.  That is less than one pound!!! Turtle time.  Plateau time.  My body just didn't like what I was doing and was reacting by not doing much of anything.  I was frustrated to say the least.  I didn't know what to do to change what was going on. This last weekend, Ted and I went to visit his mother and his sisters in Joplin, Missouri.  We flew into Kansas City late Friday night.  We then drove the three hours it takes to get to Joplin on Saturday morning and spent Saturday and Sunda

Today I had my first significant weight gain since April 20.  I gained 1.8 pounds.  The only other weight gain I have had in that time was .6 pound - and that really had to do with water retention. So - I'm trying to keep my head up.  I'm trying to keep my focus.  I don't want to become apathetic and decide it doesn't matter.  Because it does!!  I want to become healthy.  And to become healthy, I need to lose weight.  It goes hand in hand. Nothing like a graphic to show you that you need to get your focus back.  Yeah - that's my weight loss graph. Where did I go wrong last week?  Well, I ate stuff that I shouldn't have.  And I ate too much stuff.  I really wasn't too active either.  Other than some time at a park with the two grandbeebees and a shopping spree with the two grandkiddos, no real exercise.  I need to become more active and I haven't done a great job of it.  Once I get to the work out part - and I actually do it - I'm really glad
