Riding the Wave
January 26th, 2013 | 
Author: Saturday is my weigh-in day and riding the wave of all the NSVs going into Weight Watchers, I was pretty confident. I told Jason that I thought it was going to be about 3 pounds this week. I was off by a pound. I lost 2 pounds this last week. That makes me feel pretty good. Plus, it puts me at almost 4 pounds since the beginning of the year. I think that’s a pretty good start. I’m not going to think about how far I have to go because it gets overwhelming, but I can already see some changes in how my clothes feel. Last night, I put on jeans since I had my hysterectomy on Halloween and they fit with a little bit of room. Not enough to go down to the next size and be able to breathe comfortably, but it still feels good.
This is the best I have done on Weight Watchers in a long time. I don’t just mean the weight loss part of it. I mean the actually following program and feeling good about the choices I’m making and actually doing what I need to do to achieve my goals. I just feel good about it. This is the time for me.
This week I also made a decision about work that is going to be good for me emotionally. I don’t want to say a whole lot about it because I’ve known too many people who have been fired for things they’ve said on blogs or other social media. Let’s just say that there will be a lot less responsibility for me and more of what I love about my job. I’ve got the support of the people around me at work that matter the most to me, so it’s for the best, I think.

GREAT job! I’m so happy it was a good week for you, too! I think each week will get better and better.
I’m so glad to hear your stress level at work will be going down. Stress can make weight loss so much harder.
FYI, My linky is up and running again if you wanted to link-up. I didn’t realize it went down. Sorry!

Well done! Congratulations on your success! And I’m glad you are taking steps to make yourself happier and less stressed at work. I know how much you love what you do. xo

Awesome progress! I know it’s tough to keep focused and accept that 1 or 2 pounds a week is all we can expect to lose if we want to keep it off. 3 to 4 would be nice but almost impossible to attain. So onward, one day at a time and relieving stress where ever we can!

Erika–The work situation isn’t going to change at all, now, but it’s ok because we had a great conversation and I feel better about things.
Thank you for being so, so supportive!
Megan–I do love my job. A lot. I think it stresses me out because I love it so much so I take it with me. I need to separate sometimes. xo
Cathy–I know 2 pounds is great, but I felt even better. I think that’s what I meant.
Kyra–Thank you. It will be good and talking to my boss about what I was thinking helped me to realize that I was appreciated more than I thought I was.
