A few weeks ago I wrote about a group of us at work who were going to start Weight Watchers. Well, with a false start here and there we finally managed to get enough people together to do it. We officially started last week with our first weigh in on July 1. That's right...we, in our infinite wisdom, started a life changing weight loss program three days before one of the biggest eating holidays in the US. Sheesh!
Because of that I wasn't too excited to go in to the meeting today and weigh in. I mean, I ate my weight in bratwursts and beer over the weekend. Throw in some brownies, mac and cheese, potato salad and a couple of hot dogs and you pretty much see how "off course" I was for the weekend. Now, I do admit that I have done A LOT of swimming this week. I mean, what with the heat and humidity being close to what I can only imagine hell is like, swimming was the ONLY way to cool down. Even my AC was lethargic and just not cutting it.
Anyway, I went to the meeting expecting the worst and vowing to do better this week and, lo and behold...I lost weight! And not just a pound or two either. As I stepped on the scale, avoiding eye contact with the Weight Watcher's leader and making apologies for what I thought was to come...imagine my surprise when she said, "You've lost 9 pounds!!" NINE FREAKIN' POUNDS!! In one week. Without even trying all that hard.
Hokey smoke...this stuff really works. If I can keep this up it will be...oh, just a few years, before I look like Heidi Klum. Hahahah!!
Anywho, I am proud of myself today. So yes, I will accept your praise now. :D
