I survived Easter

I did it! I got through Easter and did it easily. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get back to WW. It's the way to go for me. I don't feel deprived, I don't feel resentful when others are eating what ever they want around me, because I can have something too. My positive things which happened over the weekend. Some have been posted on the WW forum, but I don't think anyone actually reads this anyway....actually I've just copied and pasted, no need to reinvent the wheel, I've just added stuff to the bottom.
* * Saved extra points and had more than I needed to indulge a little for our EAster Sunday BBQ.
* Fit in one huge walk on Good Friday. Unfortuately I overdid it yet again, and my hips have given me grief for the last two days. They are a little better today, but weather is revolting - and i hate walking in the rain.
* Darling Husband bought me some new handweights so I can do a session inside (out of rain), and i normally follow up my walks with floor work, so now can add weights too.
* downloaded more up tempo music for my ipod, but downloaded a program which calculates bpm so I can make up playlists to exercise by.
* drooled over Polar HRM watches....
* Went to Mcdonalds and had a filet of fish (accounted for) and didn't feel left out,deprived or resentful of everyone else having whatever they wanted.

Am feeling more positive about this WW journey than ever before.HOpe everyone else had a great Easter and that they felt in control. The kids have loads of chocolates and I am holding strong. If I want some I will weigh out a little of an evening and count it. My only regret is - why didn't I get back to WW earlier? It's taken trying all the other methods to realize (the hard way) that WW is the ONLY way.

* I did end up going for my walk and I feel fabulous and am so glad I went. By the time I got down to the milkbar I thought I'd go the extra distance, because I felt so good, but refrained as it's taken me over 2 days to recover from the last walk.

My hip problem scares the living day lights out of me. I hate the thought that once again my exercise plans are going to be thwarted. I have finally decided to do something that is achievable, realistic and easy to maintain, and now I am having trouble going as often as I'd like because of pain. Thank God for the anti inflammatories, without them I would have no hope at the moment. I am doing a lot of stretches when I get home, hopefully it's enough. I downloaded a Kathy Smith powewalk album on the weekend and I walked to it . It's fairly fast paced. Sort of life aerobics music, you know the long play songs. Now will be interesting to see how I feel when I totally cool down.

I have been doing some reading of some things I'd like......way too expenive, but a girl can dream hey......

This one's the basic Polar HRM watch, and it sells for $109 (plus $25 p&p) on ebay. I might ask for money toward it for Mothers Day. I will shop around though. I don't want an expensive one,but I like the fact it's plastic (I am allergic to metals on my skin), and it's red!! It beeps when you reach your target heart rate and does other cool things. I like the idea of a stop watch too, as I am starting to time myself on my walks.

I have read about these MBT shoes. Now they are expensive, but sound awesome...... You can read about them on here. These sell for around $280, but do awesome things for your whole body. Thank goodness it's free to dream.

The visit to REBEL sports store was great. I really liked the clothes there. I will go there next time I want some new pants to walk in. Their tops are really pretty too, and so much variety....
