Just checking in

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd write something. Weight Watchers is going okay, but not great. I keep losing .8, then gaining .8, then losing it again. I know it's my fault, I'm not following the program as closely as I should, but it's still discouraging. The first time I did WW, way back in that previous lifetime BC (before cancer), I was very good about writing everything down, exercising, everything you're supposed to do. At least for the first year and a half or so, then I got a little lax, but was still mostly following it. Now, I'll follow it a few days, then not for a few days. Makes it hard to lose weight when you undo any good you did every few days. But, I found a new website that I think is going to help some. It's sparkpeople.com. In addition to a food tracker that tracks all nutrients, not just points (I'm not knocking the Points system, I know it works, and in some ways it makes life a lot easier than counting actual calories), SP has much more supportive forums than WW does (theirs can get a little snarky and way, way off topic in a sort of disturbing way as people seem to try to break the rules and get their posts pulled off the boards). I'm going to keep doing WW, and use SP as another tool to try to keep myself on track.

Well, I've got supper cooking in the oven, hopefully it's about done. I'll probably post again in the next few weeks, since I've got a dr's appt coming up on the 22nd of this month. I usually have enough stress in the weeks leading up to those that I find something to write.
