This week started bad and ended bad! Our treadmill broke, which with it went my want to exercise. I did get a couple really good walks in, but with everything else that happened... Zaryah was sick with Roseola early in the week, lack of sleep and patience with that, then 3 back to back parties/social events on the weekend (I don't deny myself party food as if this is going to be a lifestyle change, I'm not going to avoid party food forever, I need to learn to be successful with it in my life). Then this week started with more sickness! Both kiddies were puking on monday, then Hubby and I weren't well yesterday! I was super bloated with this gut bug yesterday! No surprise that this week netted a 0.6 lb gain at WW's last night!
We looked into fixing the treadmill and it was going to cost a pretty penny. We bought it off of Kijiji (Canada's version of Craig's list) so it doesn't really owe us anything I guess. We figured out that for the same price we can pay for gym memberships for both of us for the next 2 months. Then I'm back to work making regular money again.
So we went and joined the gym around the corner from our house but we haven't been yet! The sickness has prevented it of course! I'm feeling better today, and hubby says he's better, so while my sister listens out for the kids, we're going to get over there tonight once they're asleep! Hopefully!

Family birthdays
Yesterday and the day before my family got together to celebrate my nieces confirmation, my 33rd and my daughters 3rd birthdays! We are a big family and celebrate everyone. Getting together about once a month. These are my cheat days. If this is going to be a life long thing, I'm not going to deny myself at these parties for the rest of my life, just not going to happen! So I indulged in veggies and dip, my sister in laws famous spinach dip and pumpernickel bread, I had a hamburger (with a thin bun) and a hot dog (with no bun), a small piece of cake and some chocolate frozen yogurt. I also are the broccoli salad and broccoli bacon quinoa I made :)
The scale is up a little and it probably won't be a very good week on the official scale, but that's ok. I have to live life. That includes losing weight and watching what I eat AND going to parties! I love food, especially family potlucks and I'm not going to deny myself that or I'll set myself up for a fail.
I did curb it. I didn't sit in front of the spinach dip all night like my old self would have, I didn't have 2 burgers, I didn't have an entire bowl of potato chips, 2 pieces of cake, other desserts, lots of pop, alcohol...I did eat a lot of veggies :) So I guess that redeems it all, lol!
Roll on tuesday and weigh-in day!

Busy busy busy! 17 weeks down!
Things have been hectic around here! Tom had to do CPR and First aid tuesday and wednesday so I had the kids all day. I know, shouldn't be that hard, but we've been parenting together this past year I've been off on Mat leave and I'm not used to doing it alone! It's especially hard now that Zaryah's walking! Double busy!
First off, WW's meeting went well on Tuesday! I'm down another 2.2 lbs for an official total of 32 lbs lost! In the meeting I'm down 26 lbs total as I lost 6 lbs while using WW's online before going to the meeting. So I got my 10% keychain and my 25 lb ring for it! Such an accomplishment I think! I put my keychain on my purse and it jingles together whenever I move, reminding me of my accomplishment!
We had a doctors appointment for both girls and myself on tuesday afternoon. I mentioned my ankle is still giving me grief and that I'm tired of it being a barrier to me getting healthy! I told her I was thinking about starting running and instead of her saying I shouldn't, she was all for it! She was also very impressed that I've lost 32 lbs! That the rate I've been losing is incredible!
She referred me back to my physiotherapist do strengthen the muscles that hold my foot together (all of the ligaments are toast on the outside of the right ankle and my foot just wants to roll that way!) She also said that my Orthopedic surgeon has retired and that if the problems continue she'll find a new one that might be more open to surgical repair. My old ortho told me to just wear my brace all the time and get a cane! Thanks a lot! I'm 33, so I'm just going to sit on my butt for the next 70 odd years? I figure he just saw a fat lazy person and it didn't matter if my foot was #&%@'ed cuz I'm just fat and lazy. There's gotta be a better option than that! I'm kind of glad he's retired, lol!
Today I went with Tom to walk dogs and got 2 hours of solid exercise in! After the past few days of getting nothing in it felt good! What a change from the summer! I could barely do a half hour walk with him! See? My body is changing! Even if I'm not really noticing it in the mirror yet!

Onederland is just around the corner!
I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 219.2! It just feels like I'm getting so close to the 100's! My goal is to get there by the end of April when I go back to work. I should get there, at least on my home scale. That's 20 lbs in 12 weeks... 1.6 lbs a week and I'm averaging 1.9 lbs per week...
I feel that I need to hit that milestone to keep me going! My workplace is awesome, but patients bring in junk all the time, not to mention our office is INSIDE the local Superstore (grocerystore)!
The last time I was on Weight Watcher's I started in that office about 3 months later and the weight loss stopped at 215 lbs. And then crept up to 230 lbs in a few months to be the heaviest I'd ever been at that point.
I know things will be fine, but I am worried a little that I'll falter!
Nevertheless, I'm bolstered by seeing that on the scale this morning! Yay me! 32 lbs down in 16.5 weeks!
