Okay…I’ve made a deal with myself. Have you ever gone around and around the weight loss mountain, but never really gotten anywhere??? Have you started and stopped your weight loss plan more times than you care to count?? Well….I know that I sure have! And, I am SO sick of it!!!

So….I’ve given myself one month. For one month, I will stay 100% on my plan. Anyone can do anything for one month! For this month, I will count my points, I will exercise….I will do all I know to do in order to lose weight. When the end of my month arrives….I bet I will see WONDERFUL results and want to continue!!! If not, what have I got to lose? NOTHING! So….for one month I will not allow myself any excuses or any slip ups!! After all….it’s just one month out of 12!

So…..let the month begin!!!! :) 

Spring Break has offically started here and that means two kiddos home all week long! I’ve already decided that I will NOT be going to my Weight Watchers meeting this coming week. Dragging a three year old and twelve year old to my meeting is REALLY not my idea of fun! So….I’m gonna depend A LOT on all you great buddies out there to help keep me on track! I have promised myself that I will stay on the right track and NOT take even one detour…..no matter how pretty that fattening food may look!

When I go to my meeting the following week, which would be the 25th….I fully expect to have reached 20 pounds gone and to get my little five pound star at the meeting. Then, it’s onto my 10% goal which is 25 pounds gone!

Okay….so NO DETOURS! NOT ONE! Spring Break can be fun without pigging out, right? Well….I’m about to find out!

As promised, I dragged myself to a Weight Watchers meeting this morning. (My usual meeting is on Tuesday mornings) I cringed when I got on that scale….I knew, just knew that I had gained A TON! Well….it seems that my “knower” is a bit off! I gained 4 ounces!!!

Please, please, please learn from me and my silly mistake! I was about to throw in the towel and risk losing all the hard work and effort I had put into trying to get to “Skinny Land” over FOUR OUNCES!!! How funny is that??!!! So…the next time you are certain you’ll see a giant gain and you might as well quit….remember the wacky girl from Buddy Slim! (That would be me!) Even if you DO see a gain….so what? I’m s-l-o-w-l-y learning that gains AND loses are simply a part of life and a part of the wild road trip we are all on.

Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!

Okay….well…when I joined Buddy Slim yesterday, I was gonna try doing this without going to my Weight Watchers meetings. I had become frustrated with my lack of progress (which was my own fault!) and HATED the thought of getting back on that scale! What a DUMB idea!! What in the world was I thinking??!! Going to my meetings are the glue that holds my sanity together while taking this insane road trip to skinny land! (That’s what I like to call getting to my goal weight….skinny land!…kinda catchy huh?! LOL!)

So….long story short….I am here to confess to all of you that I was about to throw in the towel and try going on my own….which for me ….would have been a NIGHTMARE! (I know some people can do that….but I am not one of them!)

Tomorrow morning is the next time I can get my rear to a meeting, so that’s when I’m going. I’ll let y’all know the verdict!

Wish me luck!

What a long, crazy road trip this weight loss battle is! It’s enough to make my head spin! How many detours have I taken over the years? How many wrong turns have I made? And why is it that no matter how determined I am to get there….I can’t seem to make it!?

Losing weight is not an easy thing to do, that’s for sure! (As we all know!) But….no matter how hard it is…I gotta do this!…I gotta make it! Hating the way that I look is no way to go through life. Walking past a mirror and cringing at what I see is getting old. Having self-esteem in the gutter is no longer an option. I HAVE GOT TO GET TO MY GOAL! (Sorry for the yelling…but I’m hoping if I’m stern with myself, I’ll finally get past this stop-start road block I seem to be facing!)

Oh to have been born with the skinny genes! (Hey! A girl can wish, can’t she??!!)
