100 Club

 I’m sorry I have not posted anything in the last couple of weeks, some of my days ran wild and the others were filled with summer vacation joys.

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!!!
