phynckeHey there. I am waiting for the graphics on my LJ to disappear - you know - with this PB thing - and that has not happened. I have not moved my images yet. So I wonder when that will happen. I should not jinx it. I will move things when I have to - not before. I have accounts set up other places but I am really lazy and don't feel like doing this yet. It makes me want to abandon this whole graphics thing and just not do it anymore. Really - why bother? I love graphics but I don't feel like reloading all my images. It took me years to load all those to PB. Can I rant for a moment here? They really suck. /end rant.
So onto more exciting news. I have lost 101 pounds! 71 on Weight Watchers and 30 on my own. Go me! It really has worked for me and I feel like I have totally made the lifestyle shift in my mind. I like eating this way. I plan my week and I just do it. Don't get me wrong. I still love food but I think about it differently. This week for example - I totally enjoyed a piece of strawberry pie - but I did not overeat and I counted it. That is all it takes. I feel much better being lighter and have way more energy. I think I get more done now too. So that is all good. I cannot recommend Weight Watchers enough. It costs a bit but they have the plan down. And you don't have to buy their stuff either. I do buy some things but I mainly eat my own food. They do have some snacks I like.
Anyway. Doing well on that.
I am really bored at work. I think I need to make a change. I have my resume updated and ready to go and I am looking. Don't mention this on FB. I want to stay at the Uni but get a different job. I need more to do. Or maybe I find things too easy and have just mastered what I do. I think I will take some classes too and grow that way. Best to keep busy and gain some skills.
So there is that. I am atrophying at work. Never a good thing.
So that is all I have. I cannot wait for the AiA reveal. That is coming up soon. I hope my person likes my story! I never know how that will go. I look forward to reading the stories. That is always fun.
I hope all is well with you there. Have a great week!

My AinA story is inching along, had to get an extension too.

Date: 2017-10-27 11:29 pm (UTC)I do both the online thing and the meetings. I love going to the meetings and people are so supportive and the instructors are great. If you need a boost then doing online and meetings is the way to go. Face to face interactions and the weight loss thing are a great motivator. I love the online tools too and they have an online community called Connect where people post to get motivated too but the weekly meeting really keeps me on track. I highly recommend it. The whole thing costs about 44.00 a month. Not too bad and you don't have to buy their food or anything - you do it all with real food. They will show you their products but you don't have to get them unless you want them. I buy a couple of helpful snacks that I like but that is it really.
So that is the deal with the WW. I have really liked it and I am now 8 pounds away from goal. Almost there! Let me know if you join and we can chat more about it.

Date: 2017-10-27 11:31 pm (UTC)It took me about a year to lose this weight and WW has been great for it. Kept me right on track. I have about 8 pounds left til I reach goal. I have to say I am really determined to reach goal and get my lifetime membership. Yep!
Sorry I took so long to comment back to you! I forgot to check here!
