So, yesterday Henry and I had a DATE!  Yes, a real date!  We got a babysitter for Selah and we were graciously given a gift card to Stickey Fingers (for those of you not from SC, Stickey Fingers is an amazing barbeque restaurant).  I saved my points and ate...  I mean REALLY ATE last night,  Let's just say that at the end of the evening, many, MANY wet wipes were needed to make me presentable again.  :-)  

Now, when it came time to tally my points, I found that not only had I eaten the rest of my daily point allotment, but I had also eaten the rest of my flex points for the week.  Now, for those who are not familiar with Weight Watchers, each food is worth a certain amount of points.  Based on your weight, age, and gender, a person is given a certain amount of points that they need to eat each day.  Knowing that each day is different and there are times when one may indulge, Weight Watchers gives a certain amount of flex points that a person can use each week.  You don't HAVE to use them, but it's okay if you do.  Well, I did.  In a big way.  

I know I shouldn't step on the scale every day, but I do anyhow.  Of course my weight was up a little this morning and I was a bit discouraged.  In fact, I didn't really tally my points for yesterday until tonight.  I've just been so busy.  I have to remember that my weight loss and health are priorities.  I'm afraid that perhaps I'm losing some steam and I don't want that to happen.  It can't happen.  This transformation in my head, heart, and body MUST happen.  I can't stay at 328 lbs and live a long, healthy life.  That (historically) does not happen.

What's interesting to me at this present moment is that as I write this blog, I feel myself getting encouraged.  Is it because the people who read it are praying for and encouraging me?  Perhaps.  Maybe there's just something psychological about putting it into words.  More than likely, it's a combination of the two...

Anyhow, that being said, I will continue to blog on...  
                                                                             ... but log off for now.
