a songless songbird

I don't have any songs tonight.
Why not?
I'm tired.  Plain and simple.  I need to go to bed.  But, coffee, a running mind, and the desire to get something posted has me here.  At 2am.
I'm going to post quickly and then try to force myself to shut my brain down and sleep.
Today was weigh in day!
I was seriously not expecting much.  I tried to make good choices for the most part but, this first week back was hard.  I was taken out to dinner to two FABULOUS restaurants, The Melting Pot and Lottawatta Creek, (I highly recommend both!) and Ted Drewes for dessert and I ate well at each place. :o)
So, I was not anticipating facing the scale.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I have lost 2.4 lbs the past week.  Woohoo!  My WW meeting was good and very inspiring too.
I am happy with the results of the week.  I felt a slight twinge of guilt for losing after eating out this week when I got home and found out that hubby actually gained a little over a lb. this week.  He has been so dedicated to tracking his calories and walking this week.  I know he was disappointed.  I also know he does not want me to feel guilty for success so, I quickly put my guilt away.  He is such an encourager to me when I do well.  I love that about him!  I just hope to be the same for him.
Oh, and I discovered a new sweet treat that I think will work well for me.  I am a serious chocoholic and sweets lover.  Tonight I found that a shot glass of semi-sweet chocolate chips is just 4 pts.  I can take my time with these and eat one chip at a time.  By the end of the "shot" I was satisfied for my choco craving and felt like I had much more chocolate than I actually did. Yay!
Also, if you like apple pie...The new Jello temptations apple custard pie flavor is FAB!  Yummy!
Okay, that's all for tonight.  I seriously am about to pass out on the compuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


Just kidding!  Good night peeps!

If I was invisible...

Hello there blog world....

Here we are together again a mere 4 months after my last post.  Yes, I said 4 months.  Sheesh.
I stand before you once again admitting to falling.  And this time, it has taken me awhile to get back up.  Seriously, I think for the past couple months I have just thrown caution to the wind. 
I did well on WW for awhile.  I had lost about 15 lbs.  Then I got sidetracked by something and well, it's a slow fade, as the song says.  I slowly faded back into old eating habits and now I am 9 lbs more than my initial starting weight on WW. 
I stopped blogging and I guess I thought if I didn't blog, it didn't matter.  In my head, not blogging made me invisible and I could hide in that deniability.  I could pretend that it wasn't as bad as it was because, I was not having to sit here and tell the truth to myself or anyone else.  (I know there is not a lie detector attached to my blog but, I seriously don't think I could post a lie on here.)  However, I started blogging to be accountable.  I have to be true to that.  So,
I'm back. AGAIN.  I weighed in at WW on Thur. and did a complete restart.  I will conquer this.  It may take some battling and some ups and downs but I know I am more than a conqueror.
A big positive on this time around, my handsome hubby, is uber-motivated himself.  It is really inspiring to see and I want to do well with him.  I think it will make it easier to be accountable to one another with both of us doing something at the same time.   
Alright, enough for now.  Nice to talk to you all again!
Until next time....
