"Slept in" until 8am

I got back to bed around 2:30am when David got called to go into work. I woke up around 4am when his alarm went off - he forgot to turn it off. Then I woke up again when he came home to shower. I think I slept good from 6am - 8am Bayou wanted to get up then so she could of course come out to the living room and lay on the couch. That's just like her to wake me up so she can come out here to sleep more. LOL I called Lisa to go walking this morning but she has exams she's giving so she's not available. I was going to go on my own but think I'll wait and see if she can go later today. That way I don't have to go alone and I can get my breakfast in this morning early instead of waiting until 10:30am or so. There's no rush for me to go up there to walk. Plus, it's only 54 degrees out right now. It shouldn't be too hot later. It's supposed to be in the 70's today so that won't be too bad.

I just had my breakfast - a bowl of Kashi GoLean Crunch with fat free milk and a banana. I took my morning meds and my vitamin and supplements just before I ate. I'm glad to get that out of the way. I'll take the Osteo BiFlex later today.

WI day is tomorrow. I'm going to eat light throughout the day so I'm not adding too much to WI. I'm 279.4 this morning but that's with lighter pants on. It's nice to see the 270's again! That gets me excited and makes me want to stay on plan. When I can see a difference like that it motivates me. I already have the new decade sticker so I won't get a new one (I don't think). I'm waiting for that 5 lb sticker for getting to 20 lbs lost. I didn't get there last winter. I was close though (.4 lbs away I think). That will be a real milestone for me. Then it's on to 25 lbs lost. I just have to keep taking it 5 lbs at a time. That's an attainable goal for me. Anything more than that and I'd be overwhelmed and would probably quit. Just like everything else, it's about baby steps.

I finished my grocery list and have just a few things to pick up later today. I'll go to the Safeway since Target didn't have a few things on my list. Walmart is cheaper but I don't like the drive down there and the store is so freakin' big! I feel like I waste a lot of time in there. With Safeway, I pretty much know where stuff is and I can get in and out quickly. I'm not sure when I'll do that. I may wait until David gets home. I'll see how my day goes.

I'm already checking off some of the GHG's for today. Drinking water is probably the hardest thing for me to do. Easting enough fruits and veggies is pretty hard too. I'm going to do my best though. Following the Good Healthy Guidelines will help me to get a better WI tomorrow evening.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's meeting already. I'll get to weigh in, try out my connection skills with other people, hear what the weekly topic is and get to sit through awards. It's always inspiring to me to see other people getting their awards for losing weight and NSV (non scale victories). Even if I'm not getting something I like to be there because it's encouraging. If other people can do it, so can I. I still remember the woman from last week who lost 100 pounds. That was amazing. She looked, well, normal. lol I have 105.4 to go to get to my ultimate goal of 174 (may go lower than that once I get there but I'll make that decision then). I see people in person and online who have done it and it makes it possible for me to do it too. Just knowing that other every day ordinary people are losing that much weight by being on the WW plan and living the WW lifestyle gives me hope. I can do this!

I've got the dishwasher going now and I'll get the shirts hung up a little later (my most dreaded task). That will give me some activity points for housework. I like wracking up the activity points even though I don't use them. They can be swapped out for PP values for food. I'd rather have the activity done and maybe lose a little more weight rather then "eat" my AP's.

I'll be ready for a morning nap here pretty quick. My morning meds are taking effect. It's better if I don't drive when I've taken them. I get pretty sleepy.

It feels good to have the kitchen loaded with fruits, veggies and other healthy foods. I have lots of variety and tons of choices to make if I want something to snack on. I need to decide what's for dinner tonight. There's lots to choose from in the fridge (steak, pork, burgers, chicken). I'll figure that out later.

I'm going to go get Bayou to come in and go and lay down for a while. I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.

Later gator.
