I won't be renewing my membership

After a full week on Weight Watchers, I have lost exactly zero pounds. Not that my weight numbers matter, you see. I am really just concerned about how I feel and how my clothes fit.

So no, no poundage lost and maybe no inches either. I've a three-month membership to Weight Watchers and that'll be enough, I think. I've got the hang of it.

The good news is that my back doesn't hurt anymore. I am breathing easier and walking more erect. So, obviously the scale is lying about something.

Also, I started fat-lady yoga with Megan Garcia's Yoga Just My Size.

Win.

Uppity Fat Chick gets a little un-fat

So, I plan to get a little healthier.

I still want to be a chunky monkey, but I am noticing some things about my health that could lead to more serious conditions. I had a check-up recently and all my numbers were good. However, I breathe too hard and get winded too easily when I walk. Sometimes my back hurts when I stand for a long time. This is new and I don't like it.

So from now on I will be watching my portion control more closely, listening to when I am hungry and when I am not, and getting more structured in my daily exercise routine. I'll cut out the ga-zillion Coke Zeros that I drink in a day (cringe) and replace them with water. I will not, however, be weighing myself or getting anxious about being a size-whatever.

Then, in a couple months I'll have a report. In the interim I'll make note of things that have changed. Hopefully, along with even better numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.) the backpain will be diminished and I'll be breathing easier.

Stay tuned.
