Wow, I can’t believe we’re already FOUR weeks into this challenge. Time has truly just become a big blur for me while I’ve been sick. I’ve been working from home from the most part, so one day just seems to blend into the next. Other than trips to the doctor(s) and Target for the medications and groceries, I haven’t really gone anywhere in nearly a month with the exception of darting out to my Weight Watchers meeting a couple of times to weigh in. I did try to go to the office for a half day on Monday, but it was just too much still. I’ve been working at home again the past couple of days. By doing that, I can nap/rest as I need.
Here’s my weigh-in result for Week 4 of the challenge:
Challenge Starting Weight: 260.8
Last Week’s Weight: 262.6
Current Weight: 260.2 Weekly Loss: -2.4 Total Challenge Loss: 0.6
WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!! OMG, you guys just can’t imagine how excited I was to see this number this morning. It’s been WEEKS since I’ve had such a nice loss due to being sick and on so many medications. As of today, I’m finally down to just two now, so I’m hopeful the scale will continue to cooperate for the rest of the challenge. Because right now, it’s a little depressing to realize I’ve basically only lost a half pound in the past month. That having been said, I’m uber excited to be so close to dropping down into a new decade! *insert happy dance*
Until next time …

It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time for my Week 4 update for the Power of One challenge here at the Sisterhood. I went in to this weigh in a bit nervous because I’m experimenting with my food plan a bit this week.
In the past, I’ve rarely eaten any of my extra weekly PointsPlus allowance on Weight Watchers. I pretty much stuck with my daily target. If I was really hungry, then I would convert my activity points earned that day. At my meeting last Saturday, AmyLynn (my awesome leader!) talked about taking advantage of those weekly extras and use them. So, that’s what I’ve been doing this week. I’ve used about half of them this week, so I’ve been really nervous about possibly having a weight gain. So, it was with much trepidation that I stepped on the scales today for my Power of One home weigh-in.
Challenge Starting Weight: 274.0 Last Week’s Weight: 267.0 Current Weight: 266.0 Weekly Loss: 1.0
Total Challenge Loss: 8.0
Woo Hoo!! I guess I’ve been worrying needlessly. I’m down another pound this week. That means I’ve dropped 8 pounds so far in the month of January. It’s been a looooong time since I’ve had that kind of monthly loss. I’m really excited to see what February holds!
Until next time …

It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time for my Week 3 update for the Power of One challenge here at the Sisterhood. I wasn’t sure what to expect given I had such a tiny loss at Weight Watchers on Saturday, but the scale recovered and showed me another nice loss for this week’s Power of One home weigh-in.
Challenge Starting Weight: 274.0 Last Week’s Weight: 268.4 Current Weight: 267.0 Weekly Loss: 1.4
Total Challenge Loss: 7.0
I can’t believe I’ve actually managed to lose 7 pounds in just three weeks! I guess there really is something to this whole tracking what I eat and exercising thing. Who knew?!
Until next time …
