WW Take xxx

I joined WW this week. Well, let me be a bit more specific, I joined last summer. I've got a monthly membership, but going to meetings with the boys was not easy and getting harder each week. So I stopped going and of course without the accountability, I let what little progress I've made go away. So this week, I found a meeting I could go to at lunch one day a week. It doesn't interfere with my favorite gym workout day, so that's good.
I've had success on WW before, pre-infertility treatments, pregnancy etc. I hope to have it again. My WW buddies are online now which will be a bit different. But my key WW buddy in person from last time is my key WW buddy this time, we just live in different countries.
So confession time, at somewhere between 5'1" and 5'2", I weigh in at 184. Oh joy. My waist is 108cm (sorry, the WW website wanted metric), my hips and bust are both 113cm, which gives me a balanced shape, but certainly not an hourglass one (more like a 6 hour glass). I'm one of those who gains weight around the waist, a beer belly if you will on a man. Makes me look like I'm pregnant.
I'm almost halfway into week 1 and its not bad. The new points plus program takes some getting used to. We'll have to wait and see how it goes. I'll report in weekly, sometime after my meeting (Tuesday) and when I take measurements later at home.

Onto more fun stuff, here are some more pictures from that wonderful session in the park with my friend and his camera. There are more, lots more. Its hard to pick favorites.

Eating Stick

Bad news. I'm almost back up to my pre-pregnancy weight. I know, for most people this is a good thing, but not me. I wasn't at my highest when I got pregnant with the boys, but I wasn't that far off. Because I had no cravings for fried, salty or sweet food while I was pregnant, I ate for the sake of eating. I gained about 25 lbs total and at birth lost about 45. I admit some of that was blood loss and came back fairly quickly. But the rest, well, I've put it back on over the last year by eating stuff I shouldn't far too often. I made sure I kept little to no junk at home, but there were lots of outings with other mommies that included coffee shops and sweets.
Now that I'm back at work, I'm hoping to start to get back on track. Of course, my office is right next to the kitchen which doesn't help. I smell food wafting out every time someone opens the door. Along with the vending machine, I work downtown and everything is close by. Sigh. Will power it is. My first week back, I know I ate non-stop. It was all nerves and stress from leaving the boys. I've got that a bit better under control.
But, I'm exercising less now that I'm working.  Yeah, there is the work walk, but I used to walk so much more every day, and that was pushing a stroller with fairly hefty twins in it, add the lifting and playing and I was getting a pretty good workout. I will have to break out the wii fit to play in the evening when the boys are sleeping. Sigh.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
