August 2002We were away at the cottage for a week, so my weigh in night was at the cottage. The only meeting in Minden was on Wednesday night. Luckily I arrived early, because the WW website and the 800 number both said the meeting was at 6:30 pm, but it was at 5:30 pm. So I weighed in and lost 2 pounds!! I just hope I do as well this week. My weigh in for this week was a surprise ... 3.2 pounds gone!! YIPPEE ... 5.2 pounds in 2 weeks. And that with having Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream 4 times on my holiday week! My third weigh in for the month was also my third gain in 29 weeks. I gained 2 pounds. I was expecting it. I had a major case of the PMS munchies, and I know I didn't journal all I ate, plus I had a big BLOAT on when I weighed in. Tomorrow night is my last weigh in for the month and my home scales are showing a possible 5 pound loss. I'll hope for 4. My Triathlon is fast approaching, ... Sunday's the big day. I did a practice swim without aids at the cottage on Saturday. I will probably be doing a lot of my swim on my back, with the occasional turn to my front to get my bearings. I pick up my rental wet suit tomorrow night, and I hope to go to Kelso for a practice swim in it either Wednesday or Thursday night. Well had my weigh in and lost 3.8 pounds :) Happy Dance!! I also picked up my wet suit for the TRI. Something really nice happened at the meeting ... the group presented one of my fellow members and me with a card wishing us well on the Triathlon. It was so nice!!
September 2002My first weigh in for September was also my post-Triathlon one. I lost 1 pound this weigh in, for a total of 57.8 pounds gone. The meeting was an awesome one, it was a full house for the post-labour day meeting. There were TONS of celebrations, including someone making goal with a total loss of 113 pounds. I was also asked to report on my Triathlon to the group (see the Triathlon Report page for details on the TRI). At the end of my report, the other athlete and I were presented with a $10 gift certificate to product at the meeting. What a high! My next weigh in for September was a disappointing one as I gained 2.6 pounds, but I knew since I was on antibiotics it was a big factor. I left the meeting with extra determination to lose that plus some by next week. And ... I wasn't disappointed, my September 17th weigh in was a 4 pound loss, putting me down to 200.0 pounds ... 0.2 away from Onederland!! David and I celebrated our 13th anniversary on the 23rd and we decided to go out to dinner. We went to an all-you-can-eat Italian restaurant called Vinnie Zucchini's. I called ahead and they had lots of stuff for me to eat on program. I even had two brownie squares for dessert. The next night was my weigh in night and I lost 0.6 pounds, putting me into a new point range and making it to ONEDERLAND!!! I was so happy!
