After a year and a half of bouncing around on the South Beach Diet like a ping pong ball, I've decided to bid it farewell. The principles of the diet are sound, work very well and you definitely see immediate results. However, it's not a diet I can see myself building a lifestyle around and certainly not one that's easy to follow when going out. I need something I can stick with and form habits around.
Enter Weight Watchers. I followed it briefly back in May but had to cancel my membership for financial reasons. If I'm being honest, I also dropped it because I wasn't seeing the rapid weight loss I'd been used to with South Beach. As much as I like seeing those larger numbers on the scale (I call it the Biggest Loser syndrome), I would very much prefer to just continue to see a loss. This is what I'm hoping Weight Watchers will give me.

I haven't stuck to Phase 1 at all but thanks to an abscessed tooth, I haven't been snacking either. It's all I can do to eat solid meals without pain. Thankfully the antibiotics are doing their thing so I should be able to get back with the program in another day or two.
Mother Nature decided to pay me a visit during all of this so that's made everything more difficult, of course. But I'm good with a 2 pound loss. Yep.

Losing 1.1 kg a Week

Today I woke up at 12:15. I got up and made some job calls, then decided to make eggs for breakfast. I realized I'm not as sick of them as I used to be, or maybe it was just a mental thing. I didn't go to bed last night thinking I'd be on SB today, it just happened that way. Sometimes it's better for me to not plan it out and just follow instinct. So that's what I'm doing.
I just signed up for a membership at PF again. I'm not working or taking classes and I've been going nuts just sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. I spend 1-2 hours a day looking for jobs and the rest of the day doing nothing productive. Sometimes I clean a little but mostly I just play FB games, watch tv and/or eat a lot of junk food. I hate the way that makes me feel. I might as well use some of the time getting back into the gym.
I'm not telling DH about the gym just yet, not sure why but I don't want to. I doubt he'd make a fuss about it, especially since I deal with all the finances. The worst he'd do is just ask if I was sure we could afford it. I guess maybe I just want to surprise him by dropping some weight and starting to look better. I'd tell him if I thought he'd go with me but he was never really interested in going with me before. He did join me a few times but it was pretty obvious that wasn't his scene.
It'd be nice to have someone to go with sometimes, even though it's hard to hold a conversation when you're out of breath on a treadmill or elliptical. But having company is always nice. My first day to go will be on Sunday while DH is at work. I'm charging and loading up my iPod now, the poor thing hasn't been used in about 6 months. I'm way behind on my Podcasts so those are downloading too.
I just know I'm going to have to ease myself back into working out if I don't want to strain my knee again. Just getting up on the treadmill and getting my body moving again is the hardest part. I hate hurting. I hate sweating. I hate fighting to breathe. But I'll be experiencing all of those things the first couple of times I'm there.
I gotta do it. I can't live like this anymore.
