First one!

At today's WW meeting, my leader introduced the rotating tracker. Our mission track your week & end it with a positive statement or experience for the next person. 

When she asked for a volunteer my hand shot up. What better way to get more focused? 

After I posted yesterday I realized I had 8 weeks in the my 12 week tracker. I can accomplish quite a bit in 8 weeks if I set my mind to it. 

I was down .8 this week so feeling positive going into the week as well. 

Today will be sorting out the meal plan for next week. I do have Monday off so it will be short week. 

I have a mindset shift in a very positive way. 

Happy Easter!

Looks like an accordion

My weigh in tracking spreadsheet that is or maybe it looks more like those machines that show heartbeats.

When I was last here I talked about vicious circles, well I can't say I've made too much progress on that front and I'm not sure why.

I know what to do. I need to track, plan and workout. I track but usually after the day is done and I've gone over points. I do workout though to do being crazy at work this week I missed classes. Yes it was a 4 day week that still had 5 days of work to get done.

On the job front I was hired permanently so super excited about that. The position started as a Mat Leave coverage contract but now I'm an official employee and couldn't be more delighted. I love what I do, I love the people I work with and I love the groups I support.

Another race is only a few weeks away and though I had my fastest half marathon time at the Star Wars Half in Disneyland it still got me into one of the last corrals at the Darkside Half Marathon at Disney World. Well to be honest I don't care where I start as long as I finish.

One of my friends and I are planning a day trip to Universal Studios while in Florida to check out Diagon Alley and all things Harry Potter...I'm so excited.

So on the weight loss front I did have a loss last Saturday but the receptionist at WW said something interesting to me. She said that I've had a lot of ups and downs lately. Now at first I thought she was talking about the accordion of weigh ins but she was referring to those 7 races in 11 days in January, the new job and before that dealing with unemployment. So yes that's true there were some ups and downs. Today I was looking at 3 month tracker. I have 8 weeks left in this book. A lot can happen in 8 weeks. So I'm setting a goal of 20lbs down in 8 weeks. If I do it I'll get my myself the new FitBit Blaze. That's the deal with myself.

I'm not going to promise to post more as clearly I fail at that every time. I do appreciate everyone's support and this amazing community of positivity out there.

I so adore my WW peeps, it's like having a crew in a weird sort of way. Though I look forward to seeing them every Saturday.

Now the plus I have been tracking so now the goal is stay within my points. I've done this before and I can do it again. I never forget that I intend to attempt that Dopey Challenge again in 2017. I need to be fitter to be faster.

So bring it.

I want to wish you all a Happy Easter!
