Another Friday night, another intermission post... having a particular blast performing tonight because two of my Getting There girls (as well as several other awesome people I know) are in the audience! Hi, Amanda and Melissa!
So the big news this week is that my interview with Weight Watchers went well. Like, really really well, one of those interviews where they practically hand you a key on the way out the door. I am SO excited to see where this will go, how things week change when it's my JOB to stay at a healthy weight, how I'll never have an excuse to skip a weigh in, what it will be like to have a big (well, hopefully big) group of people to stay physically accountable to, not just virtually accountable to in the online sense.
A little more incentive to buckle down and get into that healthy weight range (the ceiling of which, according to my height, is 174)- I can begin training, but I can't lead a meeting if I'm over that number. 3.6 pounds to go- I am hoping to have a really good two to three weeks, which is about the length of the training from what I can tell, and celebrate hitting a healthy bmi AND beginning a new job- what I'm really hoping will be my last new job. I'm really sick of job hopping (and honestly my resume can't take too much more of it), so I'm really hopeful that this is going to be as good a fit as I'm expecting it to be.
I was really happy this week- teaching drama has been so fulfilling. Driving home this week from one of my classes, I was reflecting on how good it felt to leave your job for the day with joy- not just joy that it's over with for fifteen hours- but joy that I was spending myself in a positive way.
You'd think that this joy would keep me from binging out of boredom or stress or anxiety, but nope! I'm a happy eater, too. I had a little mini-binge one night this week, and it's odd because I had it in front of Chris. Normally someone else's presence is enough to keep me from overdoing it... but not on Monday night! It was a different style of binge than ones in my past when I would make trip after trip to the kitchen, each time saying it was the last trip. Instead, I gathered a little lap full of goodies, announced "Okay, I'm pigging out a little but this is IT", ate it and that was the end of it. It wasn't too bad- a snack size bag of Doritoes, a handful of pretzels and some cream cheese to dip them in, and two small cookies. And that was really and truly the only slip up of the week- otherwise, I've been staying on track, logging my points most days (and certainly staying within them even when I wasn't recording them) and drinking about 75 percent of my water.
So there's room for improvement, and I know what I need to do! Cross your fingers for a big loss next week!
