With the hope of not letting myself get off track yet again with losing weight I’m weighing in today at Weight Watchers instead of my usual Tuesday morning weigh in because I’ll be sitting in a hospital tomorrow morning waiting for my father-in-law to get out of surgery.

And a surgery in July (my son’s) is what got me off track last time. Okay, well that’s not really true.  It’s what I used as an excuse to get off track last time when my son’s surgery, my Mom not feeling well and having lots of doctor’s appointments that I took her too, and then several parties and a wedding, all became my excuses to not exercise regularly and to completely fall back into my old unhealthy eating habits.

So I’m hoping for the best and that I’ve lost at least 2 of the 5 pounds I need to get back off so I’m back to the 57 pound loss I was at before I lost my focus in July.

I’ve really worked hard at eating healthy and exercising this past week.  Although I always told myself Iwouldn’t set hard and fast deadlines for myself I always thought I would have lost at least half of the 120 pounds I want to get off by the time a year had passed.

Now I realize that’s not going to happen because my one year anniversary at Weight Watchers is this Thursday, September 3, 2009.  So this is where I have to look on the bright side (just like PollyAnna – ugh!) and realize that I’ve done well to have lost over 50 pounds in the past year.  I’m happy about it but honestly it makes me sad too.  I know I could have gotten at least another 25-30 pounds off this past year if I wouldn’t have had so many “lapses” where I gained a little weight back and then had to get it back off again.

Some days I really wish for that magic little weight loss pill……….
