Weight Watchers

We found out insurance would pay for me to do weight watchers... Can't really say no to that. I've been gaining a lot of weight since I got sick, it sucks. My ideal weight is so far off, it's past time to do something about it.

So last Tuesday, I went to my first meeting.

I weighed in at 228.0 pounds. Ouch. But anyway, each person is assigned a daily points target based on age, weight and height. Lucky me got 40. On top of the daily points, everyone gets 49 points a week to use, and you can get extra points by working out.

Not once did I hit 40 points this past week. Pretty proud of myself. Gone are the days of never ending junk food, and in are the fruits, veggies and healthy foods.

I spent the week trying to come up with things to eat to keep my belly, taste buds and energy level happy. I rocked this like a wagon wheel. Hopefully I'll expand on this later.

Anyway, today was my first weigh in. I'm down 5.4 pounds. I never felt starved or deprived. I ate when I was hungry, and ate till I was full. I didn't work out. I didn't change my daily habits. I just got smarter about what I was eating, and the pounds came off.

I'm now down to 39 points a day. Still completely reasonable. I hope to add in some exercise this week, but with a big project due Friday, its not looking promising. So I need to eat healthy, and possibly more healthy then last week... And get more pounds off.

155 lb is still in the distance, but I'm learning how to get there. So getting there I will.

The Adventure that was Calf Catching

So, I had this great plan to take lots of pictures. Didn't really happen.

But.

There was a set of twin calves I got to go play with and got Cole to take pictures!! I also have some of calves on my phone I will add to this later.

 They're easy to catch if you corner them.

 And not so much if you dont. There is a whole chain of these pictures.

 Almost.

 He was kinda cute eating after Cole let the mama back in.

This is just funny to me. Infinity gear in the feed truck. Really, its a low gear.. but I still think its inifity:)

1st post! And Easter weekend intro.

So, I decided to start yet another blog. They're free.. so why the heck not, right? :)

In this one, I want the positive. I want this to be the one that I hook up to my facebook, the one that seems to "hide" the struggles of my BPD (it gets its own blog). A happy blog. Worth a shot, I think.

Anyway...
It was a short week for once! Everything school related is done, except maybe a history quiz tomorrow.. maybe should read, but doubt it! Lots of work to do however. Got thrown back into the project I worked all fall on, but had been put on the back burner and suddenly is a huge prority again. Lots of hours this next week.. but I am totally broke.. so I can't complain too much. Plus, I can take this work with me!

Easter is this weekend! I'm going home with Cole. Hoping its a good trip. Its always nice to go out there... Gets me outta Bozeman, but isn't the hell hole of Salem (sorry family). Don't really know what the plan is... besides lots of work and studying for Tuesdays Structures exam. Oh well!

I will try to post more, keep everyone (haha like anyones reading this) updated on the events of the weekend! Might entertain someone, somewhere. :)
