Alright, I have to just get this out of my system- admit it and move on. Losing my site really took a lot out of me (as I’m sure it did all of you too- although it seems a lot of you handled it much better than I did…) Anyway, yesterday was not a good day. Well that’s not entirely true- we have our final PFT to compare to the beginning of BC & Monday was the 1 mile run. My time at the beginning of BC was 10 min 22 sec & this time, I ran it (WITHOUT ANY STOPPING) in 9 min 12 sec!!! I took over a minute off of my time & didn’t have to stop to walk at all!! So, THAT was good. The bad started when I came home to post & tell all of you about it & I found out that we no longer existed. I was crushed, my bad habits kicked in, two bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, ok lunch, 3 slices of pizza (w/ toppings) for dinner, and then to top it off, my hubby and I had a dumb argument & I went to Wawa….. add 1 pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream in there too…… I know that part of the problem was that tom was on it’s way, but still, NOT GOOD!!
I’ve been tossing back and forth if I want to try to rebuild or not. Is it worth all the work? At this point I’m not sure, but if Roni can, than I feel like I don’t have any excuse. Plus, I’ve made so many great “friends” (even though I don’t really know any of you, it feels like I do!) SO, I didn’t really track today, but I *think* I’m in my points anyway. I’ll total it up. I’m going to assume that my flex points are gone, here’s today:
| Daily Point Target | 24 | |||||
| Food | Points | Count | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| lite english muffin (1) egg (2) 1/2 slice cheese (1.5) | 4.5 | 19.5 | ||||
| subway, 6″ Turkey on wheat w/ prov. & lt. mayo | 7.5 | 12 | ||||
| 1/2 of choc. chip cookie | 2.5 | 9.5 | ||||
| 9 Raviolis | 6.5 | 2 | ||||
| 1/4 c of mozz cheese (1) & 1/4 c sauce (.5) | 1.5 | .5 | ||||
| Totals | 23.5 | .5 | ||||
| Day 5 in Week – Weekly Points Remaining: 0? | ||||||
| 10 oz. Water √ | ||||||
| Workout GOAL: 3 BCS, 3 Arm Workouts & 3- 60 Minute Walks | ||||||
| Arm Workouts | 60 Minute Walks | Boot Camp Sessions | ||||
I’ll work on getting my archives & more recent posts out of Google cache this weekend maybe… I have to work tomorrow & have some other work that I need to get done too, but I’ll be back. I’m starting to feel better already… Anyway.. gotta get to bed!! Have a good night!!

Congrats on your time! Too bad that accomplishment was spoiled by stuff like arguments with your DH. As for the food, remember, it’s just one day; it’s not going to drastically hinder your progress if you don’t let it.
As far as rebuilding, we’ll miss you if you don’t, but ultimately remember that you need to do what you need to do for you!

Awesome job on the run, doesn’t it feel great!
If I learned anything from Roni it is to track regardless of how bad you think you did, sometimes you are really surprised. If you aren’t sure on the NI, find something similar and add a point for being bad. I use to think I had used all my FP for the week becuase I would go to dinner or something unplanned came up and after I tried traking a few times I realized I wasn’t even close half the time.

Congrats on the run! Glad you decided to restart. I think all of felt the same way when we tried to log in and saw Roni’s post. I too questioned rebilding but then I realized how attached I had become to the Weight Watchen community and to posting about my journey. I too was stressed and felt lost, a lot of us did. But for me personally, once I found my old posts and started posting again and finding “old friends” I feel much better. Just like Melanie I have a blog roll of everyone I’ve found or who has found me so far. It’s not the same as our old community but it’s close. Keep it up, look for your old posts in your google cache and the rest will fall into place. It seems like everyone is really trying to stick together and seeking each other out and keeping in touch. We’re still here, it just takes an extra step to find. Stay positive and I’m glad you’re here and joined us!
