ugh

This week has been an ugh. Or at least, it ended up that way. It began well enough. At my meeting last week, we discussed having a support system for our weight loss. It's a nice thought, but not a reality for me. My husband is supportive, but it's not like we're doing this together. And as for other people in my life, they may be supportive at times, but they are saboteurs at other times. I feel like there is no one to completely depend upon or lean on for support. That being said, I did get to "meet" a few of the ladies at my meeting last week and was very encouraged talking with them. We're all facing very similar obstacles and reaching for similar goals. So, that was cool.

How this week turned into an ugh. I got sick. I got medicine. The medicine makes me feel icky and it makes me feel hungry. Between not feeling well, having my body upset by the medicine, and dealing with family and a holiday, I have not made very good choices food-wise this week. So, this is a little bit of a setback, but along the lines of last week's post, let's move on from the ugh and get back on track ASAP.

This week's meeting was a call to activity. (This is a recurring theme at Weight Watchers because it's good for you.) I'm already active, when I'm not sick. I run, and I plan to bicycle some this summer, too. So, from now til June 6, those who are so inclined, are to train for and walk (or run) a 5K. I love this because having a running goal motivates me to push myself on longer runs or to go faster, if not farther. I need to pick a local race and outline my training plan. I also still have the Boilermaker percolating in the back of my mind. July... More on this topic later. :-)
