Weigh In Rituals... or Superstitions

So I have been weighing in (practically) every week in the SAME leggings for the last 6 weeks. I will wear them until I literally have them slouched (there's already room) and baggy around my thighs and have to tie them behind me! lol!

They're part of my ... good luck charm almost. Last weekend, the honey surprised me with a weekend away from the house and sent our sun to stay with his aunt.

When packing my bag in a a giddy rush, I left them at home. I visited a site in the suburb we stayed in to weigh in... up 1.2 lbs (never mind the big Wild Fire dinner I had of lamb porterhouse chops and broccoli and the cocktails at the casino!)

Back at my meeting this week, in my "lucky leggings" down 2.6 ... never mind last night was a completely OP day with no imbibing (I've stopped drinking until my vacation in September) and a filling WW-approved dinner before 8 p.m. It is my superstition.

I also hope I get to goal before it gets too cold... because I wear only one of two pairs of slide on shoes... which I slide off, put ONE paper towel on the scale... deep breath and step on.

I also...

Make sure I don't eat before weigh in (which is fine because I weigh in before 7:30 a.m.).

I use the restroom at the Center. Extra water weight or something, right?

I have a snack to eat during my meeting. Usually a piece of fruit. And my first water of the day.

I go home and prepare a "Big Breakfast*" for the boys and I:
Scrambled Egg & Whites topped with Salsa
Turkey Bacon / Links
Milk
(If I've been a very good girl and had a stellar weigh in, a slice of raisin toast)
Followed by another piece of fruit (if still hungry).... water.
*It's called big because my usual breakfast is much "lighter" lol..yogurt, fruit granola etc

THEN and only then, I proceed about my normal day. Because I feel in my heart THAT sets the tone for my whole OP week.

Do you have any WI Superstitions or Rituals?

Tell me about that...

Lucky 13... wait... is 13 lucky?

Jumpstart!

So even though I haven't been HERE! I have been active. I come to you down 13 pounds with 20-25 more on my radar. I've been working out no LESS than three times a week. Most times five. I did break a toe that sidelined me for a month. I broke it May 21, 2011. I gained 4.8 pounds during that down time and learned that when I CAN'T workout I become very down on myself and will therefore eat anything in sight. lol

I'm not doing any certain workout.. in fact I'm switching it up to keep a creative routine. I do Chalene Extreme for strength workouts. I walk with a Meetup Group once or twice a week. I recently started loving some belly dance classes. I try out some Power Plate workouts, Flirty Girl, bike riding, yoga, whatever! I'm all over the place as far as activity is concerned.

I've also been following The Jennifer Hudson Meal Plan fairly diligently for nearing 16 weeks. Feeling good, looking good and will be more consistent here from now on. Promise.

I've been checking out a lot of Fit Blogs lately and became really irritated with myself that I haven't taken this thing of blogging a bit more seriously. I'll do better.

I am a TERRIBLE blogger.

I don't know why I do this.

Especially when it's been a whole damn year since I've touched this here blog. *smh* You may forgive me, but my thighs won't.

So much catching up to do, but if I do the whole thang, this blog will be too long to read so let me hit the hot spots.

I started a detox with the honey March 1. Since then I've went back and forth on getting fit and then not... I just came off a toe break so now I am back

...NO REALLY!
