100 Club
Being a Weight Watcher Goddess has its good days and its bad days. The past
couple of weeks were filled with both. I am not just a WW Goddess trying to gain
her health back.
♥ I am also the wife to an amazing husband whom
daily shows me love, understand, and immeasurable compassion. He gives me strength
when I need it the most.
♥ I am the mother to a delightful, funny, challenging,
and energetic four year old.
♥ I am also the step mother to two loving,
bright, challenging step kids.
Being a step parent is a gift given to me by God and I value His faith in
me. It is a loving, challenging, emotional, prayer filled job. I love them as
they are my own, but they come with their own special needs and lets face it, road
blocks. I can love them as my own but if I love them too much, then some people
feel their toes are stepped on. If I don’t love them enough, then I am the evil
stepmother. There have been days these last few weeks I wondered if I truly lost my mind...I think the jury is still out.
The last three weeks I did not post an update, for one reason or another my
weeks flew by and I did not get a chance to catch-up to with my weight loss blog.
The last three weeks I have seen many ups and many downs, both emotional and
physical.
The week of July 28, 2012; I lost 1.8 pounds, for a total of 52 pounds. That
was an exciting week as I reached the weight loss goal of the 100 club. My
weight for this week was 199.8 pounds, I was thrilled. This journey has been so
emotional and challenging. To hit this milestone was sheer joy and triumphant elation.
The week of August 4, 2012; I had a slight step back, I gained 2.4 pounds
and went back to weighing 202.2 pounds. I took this gain in stride and knew it
could not be avoided. I threw my back out and could barely move, I was on pain pills and just moving
was agony. Walking for “fun” was out of the question. It took me a week and a
half to recover, the longest week and a half of my life. During this I came to the painful realization that back pain is not for the
week of heart or soul. My body functions came to a grinding halt, and to be
blunt, it took all my effort to fart. It was four days until I could muster the
strength to go number two, ‘holy cow Bat Man’. I felt like I was six months
pregnant and let me tell you I was *Super Mommy Cranky Pants*. I was happy to
return to almost normal by Wednesday THANK THE LORD. I kept track of what I ate and I really tried my best to get in extra water
and to move as much as I could without relapsing.
The week of August 10, 2012; REDEMPTION week, I lost 3.2 pounds, for a total
of 52.8 pounds lost and my current weight of 199, back in the 100 club. YIPPEE
YIPPEE KY YI YEA!!!!
I was so happy and shocked. I still had low mobility due to my back, but I
have been able to move more and more each day. I think my saving grace was my
plumbing is almost back to normal and I tracked every lick, bite, and taste I
put into my mouth.
My plans for the next week are to keep on the track that I have been on. To
keep remember how far I have come and where I want to be. Healthy!!!!
Have a great week all. Let’s ROCK this week!!!
