Another week closer to my goal

Today was my weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I'm glad I was down 0.4 lbs. It has been an extremely tough and difficult week. There was plenty of stress, in addition to the pressure of keeping a  very hectic schedule and dealing with a hormonal teen with a disability and I have another teen at home who is low maintenance but I feel guilty that I don't spend as much time with him as I'd like to.

Yes, I survived another one and will chalk up my victory at the scale to my eating and workout habits.  I am continuously learning to stay focused when the ups and downs of life hit.

One of my goals is to achieve Lifetime status again with Weight Watchers.  Even though my new goal weight is really 7 lbs. higher I still have 7 lbs. to get to my goal.  Then I could enjoy the benefits of weighing in once a month and attending meetings for free.  Until then, I must focus on the task at hand.


While my success is not exclusive to weighing in each week, I am proud to say that I have learned to  manage my levels of stress through positive habits I've developed over the course of time where I don't emotionally eat anymore!


P90X and INSANITY have been my go to programs.  I am on Day 48 of my hybrid and looking forward to mixing things up again when I'm done.  I can say without hesitation that it has helped me dig deep mentally!  This was the type of transformation you CAN'T see in pictures!  To have a mental change of that magnitude has helped me keep my head above water.  I enjoy being in a routine, I love that predictability and it helps me prepare for each day!  I get a chance to focus on myself for an hour each morning! 


I know I will always be stressed out!  Its not easy raising a daughter with a significant life-long disability, and managing a house, and working part-time!  It sucks the life out of me and its exhausting.  I'm grateful I have connected with peeps on Twitter and Facebook.  They have helped keep me accountable each day.  I love receiving positive feedback!  It makes my journey of surviving as a mom that much more bearable each week.
