So last week I went to my weight watchers meeting and although I didn't gain any weight, I also didn't lose weight. I know what the problem is, I wasn't paying attention to closely with my points as I would normally. I was a little ambivelant because I knew I hadn't done my part, but also had hoped for a small miracle....yeah, that so didn't happen.
This week I went to my meeting, and I was super excited. One of the girls that I have become really close with at my weight watcher's meeting had texted me earlier in the week wanting to see if after the meeting I wanted to go out to dinner with her. Her husband is in the military and is out to the field for two weeks. My ex-boyfriend Carson is also in the military and is also in the field for two weeks, so I completely understood where she was coming from. So I was really looking forward to going out to dinner with her.
On Tuesday, I went to the doctor to get some prescription refills, you know the usual, birth control etc. She took my blood pressure and it was 150/90...super high. It has been pretty high over the past year, so she put me on blood pressure medicine. OMG...that stuff makes me so loopy. It almost gives me that feeling you get right before your about to have a panick attack...like super anxiety. I am hoping it is just cause I am adjusting to the medicine, but I went and worked out yesterday after I got off work before my meeting and I felt so weird. I wasn't hungry, but I was getting these major hunger-like pains in my stomach and I was a little disorientated. Let's hope this is just me getting used to the meds, and not something else.
At my meeting I went up to get weighed...the leader of my meeting looked at me...I was nervous, I didn't want another week of no loss or even a gain, and then she announced, OMG you did amazing this week! I was like REALLY?!?!?!....she said I got two stars this week, I hit my 25lb mark and my 30lb mark for weight loss. I had lost 8.6lbs this week. I went and sat back down and my friend, she was like oh hell no, go get back on the scale I want a re-count lol. For the whole group, we lost 19.2lbs last night. Everyone said that most of that was me, lol.
I am now at 326.4lbs...that means I can start my Wii fit now!!!! I am so excited for that. I am going on vacation tomorrow and super excited. I am just going to Alamogordo, but I will be there for five days, so I am going to go to one of the gyms and see if i can purchase like a week pass or something that I can use while there. I hate to miss my workouts. I lost 8.6lbs because I pushed myself and worked out 5 times last week with a hard workout right before my meeting.
Till next time...

You rock Brittany!! 8.5 pounds is a great loss!! I know the week before was probably discouraging. I don't like when that happens to me, and it happens often. But in a way it just motivates me to work harder for my next weigh in.
I know you'll have a blast playing the wii fit.
I just totally changed up my diet again lately. I'm trying to be as healthy as possible and man is it hard. But I know it's so worth it. I recently watched a movie called Forks Over Knives, and it has changed my life. If you have high blood pressure maybe you can check it out. It's on Netflix if you have it. If you watch it let me know what you think.
You are doing great girl!! I'm so excited for you. Isn't life great!! :0)
