So far...
Staying on program with Weight Watchers is really going well! I've written every BLT (Bites, Licks, Taste) down in my journal. I even wrote down my lunch today from Ruby Tuesday's. That was unheard of prior to this weekend! I wrote a check and will mail it on Monday for the Fredericksburg Area Tennis Patron's club that I am joining. I posted on the FUG board in the Caroline Community section that if anyone wanted to play tennis to contact me. I just really want to play tennis. I found out Caroline is SUPPOSE to be building a YMCA in Ladysmith. It would be about 10 miles away or so. I would definitely join if they DO build it. It was approved back in 2005...here it is 2009 and I don't think they have even broken ground for it...but maybe if it doesn't SNOW a ton I'll go check out the location and see. I'd still MUCH rather play tennis than workout in a gym. Two difficult situations have presented themselves to me. If you have any advice for either, please comment!
Situation 1:
The weather is calling for sleet and snow tonight, then changing into snow all day tomorrow. I made a Lenten committment to go to church every Sunday in Lent in hopes it would get me in the groove and go back. I have two alternatives if it should snow and sleet that bad that I don't feel safe driving to Richmond. Choice A: I could probably try going to the Episcopal Church in Ashland that I have been wanting to go to anyway...the priest is a gentlemen that was the priest at the church I went to at Longwood. Choice B: I could stay home and maybe *try* to do a devotional or read from the Bible. Choice A is more my speed as I am not much into Choice B. But I guess God would think I made some what of an effort.
Situation 2:
I have been on program for three days now. On the way home from lunch and food shopping, Tony and I were talking about points and how many we might have remaining. He was like if I lose "x" amount more, I will probably move down to "x" amount of points. The thing is, he is still using his daily points target from the WWs program three years ago...not with the current formula and if he does it like that, he'll have less points than me. Not that I care, but he weighs more than me, so he should be eating more. I told him they do scientific research and that they only improve their program when they make updates. Is that an irrational frustration? It just frustrates me. I am really trying to work on not caring about what other people do, but it is a step process for me.
If anyone has any insight in to either situation, I'd love to here about it.
Loves and hugs!
