so, the throat was still bothering me a bit today. i napped on and off throughout the day (nope. i did not declutter casa de horror today) but i feel much better tonight.
around 5pm i watched The Biggest Loser that i'd taped on Tuesday (while i was watching the dem debate) and i got off the couch around 6:40pm, ran my hand through my hair and said "screw it, i am going back to a weight watchers meeting tonight at 7"
okay, i guess after running my hand throuhg my hair, i'd logged on to weightwatchers.com and checked to see if my local place had a meeting tonight --- they did.
usually (okay... when i say "usually" i mean every 3 months or so when i get hopped up and go back to ww) usually i go on monday mornings at 10am. there IS a great leader there named Julie.
but, really. monday morning at 10am? it's tough to drag me out of bed and to my desk much less go to a ww meeting.
anyhooooo... to the 7pm one tonight (no idea what the leader's name is yet.) she seems pleasant enough.
when i weighed in the girl was like "Congrats! you lost 2.4 pounds for a 5.blahbittyblah loss!"
to which i replied "thanks! good to hear i lost 2.4 pounds since january."
anyway - i remembered back to 2001 - i joined ww in jersey city - with this kick ass leader named Marie. She was feisty and funny and you really got a lot out of her meetings. i miss living up there sometimes.
but those meetings were on Thursday nights at 7pm as well.
i think that may have been part of the reason for my success back then (lost 30 pounds in 2 and a half months, no exercise) the fact that it was on thursday nights.
granted, if there's a morning meeting, there's the extra benefit of not having anything in your stomach, thus having a decent weigh-in (sometimes)
but thursdays, you can have fun on the weekend (or, back then was when i would be going out on the weekends and partying it up. nowadays, it's rather bland.) but you would have a few days to get your ass back in gear if you went a little hog wild on saturday. rather than slinking into a monday meeting still with a bloated stomach from the weekend.
there's no chance of me sleeping in and missing the meeting either.
so, we'll see. hopefully the change in meeting days/times will help.
also, since gigglemom was diagnosed with the diabetes and told to control her sugars and weight with diet and exercise, i'm not saying she's joing ww with me, but, she's already talking about what we should get into the house that's healthy to eat and all that. so that's keen.
and here's where i shall mention LOST.
no, no spoilers at all...
i just want to say that tonight's may very well have been one of my favourite episodes. seriously, anything with Desmond in it is excellent. i heart him. i would be his constant any day.
and faraday is a swell egg in my book thus far....
and fisher stevens!!!!
and.... oh hell, i just love LOST!!!!
Whatchoosayin'?? (1 yapped)
Oh! But did you see his nose? I am afraid is going to go with Fisher Stevens! I heart him, too. Um, and did Kate steal Claire's baby? I am so confused right now.
[note from GC: i am optimistic --- Fisher Stevens AND Eloise, neither had a "constant"... but Dez reached his!!!! and i am still not sure what happened with aaron/claire/kate... there are a TON of theories on www.jayandjack.com though]
