I fell off, that is the Weight Watchers wagon, of course! But I am getting back on. I had really good reasons too. My life starting around the end of last week was a comedy of errors!
I went to Carowinds on Saturday for the first time, had a blast, but wasn't aware of the water park aspect, so got WAY more exposed to the sun than I planned, and of course didn't think to stop and buy some sunscreen from one of the thousands of vendors! So I got a vicious sunburn, scalp and everything! NO blistering luckily, but I was feeling pretty crappy.
Then, on Saturday night or Sunday morning, not quite sure which, I got a lovely break out of poison ivy! First time in my life. I was exposed to it on Thursday at an interpreting job, but it takes a bit to pop out. Actually I think it is still developing! Ugh. It is awful, and oddly enough one of the home remedies that I read about actually seems to help, and that is rubbing the inside of a banana peel on the rash! So both my ankles smell like bananas, tasty!
Of course, there was still the everpresent nausea on top of all of this. I think I finally have it under control, but I frequently have off moments related to that. So with all that going on, I have been eating 'normally' ie, not counting points. But I still haven't gone quite crazy like I did before I joined. So I am getting back on, cause I still have a goal to reach, and I won't let this lull in willpower ruin it for good!
If I have to suffer my random thoughts, so should my loved ones!
What is so special about what I have to say, you ask?
Well, nothing in particular I guess, except that I do believe that we all, at times at least, have something of value to add! Maybe I have some experiences that you have not. Maybe I think crazy nutty things that you don't (I am almost positive of that one!). Either way, like it or not, here I am! I mean if Rush Limbaugh can spout off at the mouth and people listen to him, there should be someone who will enjoy what I have to say!
Another plus, I can spell! So unless I am particularly vision-tired, those of you who get crazed over stupid spelling mistakes and such should feel safe here. Although, I DO tend towards run-on sentences. Sorry. I said I was a good speller, not a grammar expert!
Enjoy

About Me
- Erica
- I am a 30 something year old American Sign Language Interpreter. I have just rejoined this amazing field of work after a 4 year, unintended sabbatical. While I took part in extensive education for my career, due to my 'break' I am as fresh as newborn doe, and often feeling as awkward. I am also recently married and surviving (so far) the newly acquired pitfalls that occur when you are lifelong committed to another human being. Between these 2 new states of being, I am quite occupied!

Ouch.
Ouch.
You have the right attitude. The wagon will stop when you leave. It will wait. I know. Proud of you.
weight watchers is cool because even if you fall off you know you are eating way less than you were before joining so you're still losing weight and probably more likely to add an extra lap or two. Congrats on such a big initial loss.
Thanks Stacy, you are definitely right, I for sure find myself eating differently now than I did before. Although I have been eating some definite nono's, I find my portions are much more reasonable now!
