Monday saw me really cracking down on the newest adventure: Weight Watchers. I had started it on Sunday but it was more of an official start for me on Monday because I knew that I was going to do it and it wasn’t just looking at the website to familiarize myself with it. Sure, I had started late in the day on Sunday but I had been able to plug in what I’d had to eat and drink; I was still under my daily goal with my points. Sweet!
Tuesday and Wednesday were fairly uneventful, just more of the same stuff as usual. Thursday I finished up working on the new layout for my blog with the finishing touches being added on Friday and Saturday, thanks to Angel tweaking a particular element that I hadn’t gotten to yet. It should make things easier for later template updates.
I wound up going to bed early last night because I had suddenly found myself sitting in front of my computer and falling asleep while sitting up. I read more of PS I Love You while arguing with Charlie over whether or not he could sleep over the book while I was trying to read it. Apparently he was telling me that it was time to go to sleep. I tossed the book aside and snuggled Charlie until he decided he’d had enough and retreated to his shelf in the bookcase. That particular shelf was kept empty for him because he had claimed it. I tell Charlie to ‘go to bed’ and that’s where he goes. It’s adorable.
I woke up initially at 5am and realized that I was awake but so not ready to get up. I finally got out of bed around 5:30am, used the potty, went downstairs, and got myself a glass of milk while Trouble went out to do his business and get some water. He went back in his kennel and I went back to bed when we were both done. By the time my alarm clock went off, I didn’t want to get out of bed. Alas, I had to work so I dragged my ass out and did my Sunday shift. It was a slow day and really boring.
One thing that I managed to do every day was to take at least a 10-minute walk. Some days were 20 minutes, one was almost 60, but I got in at least 10 minutes each day. Walking isn’t much but I am a bit leery about just how much my knee can take. So I am taking it easy and just moving; I can work my way up to more ‘strenuous’ activities later. The important thing is that I am making it a routine and I am doing it daily.
A week after starting Weight Watchers, I have lost 7 pounds. I do not anticipate this rate to be any kind of normal but it is an excellent start and it gives me hope. I feel positive. I feel empowered.
Stay Classy, Internets.
