#191 Weekly Weigh In

It is Day 4 of the 2013. I vow to do a little better with my blog. On of my New Year's Resolutions is to get back into losing weight. I am ready to be done with this whole weight loss thing. I am sort of ready to be in maintenance so that I can be a lifetime member and possibly work for Weight Watchers in some kind of capacity. Who knows?

The holiday damage has been done. I gained 3.6 pounds over the Christmas and New Year holidays; this brings me back to a total weight loss of 36 pounds. That is a lot better than I thought it would have been. I honestly thought it would have been at least 5 pounds gained.

My motivation is back and I think it is better than ever. I so ready to head back to my Zumba class on Monday. Granted I know it will be tough since I did absolutely nothing over the holidays. My body needs a good kick in my butt. For Christmas I got some money, I decided to use it to purchase the Wii Zumba Core game. I haven't tried it but I am super anxious to do so.

I have read some reviews and they tell me that this game is more intense than the previous ones. There is also less time between songs. I will so have to write my own review once I try it out which I am hoping is tonight. Wish me luck!!!!!

Last nights meeting was what I needed. I really truly needed to face the scale to see the damage done. When I received the damage, I was surprised by the number. Like I said previously in this post, I honestly thought I had done more damage. Anyway, I learned something that sort of helped me with my sweet addiction. I learned that it isn't my lack of will power that I can't steer clear of the desserts.

The weight watcher doctors have discovered that our brains are geared to want those over processed and heavy sugared foods. 

Thank God that it isn't just me. I need to just change my thinking. I need to ask myself do I really need that piece of cake? 

Saturday, we have our last family holiday gathering with cousins from out of town. I am so excited to seen them and catch up. We are going to the same restaurant we usually go to Landry's Seafood on Lake Pontchartrain. So last night with my motivation back, I started to look at the menu. Should I get a salad with some grilled chicken so that if we go for beignets I will have accounted for them? I have no idea what I will get.
