I figured out that I can get Google Reader to load up fairly well on the dial-up connection, so I'm back to reading blogs again :) Leaving comments is a bit of a pain from the house, but at least I can get back to my reading.
I'm trying to figure out if I want to change my weigh in day to Sunday's or keep it on Saturday. Sunday is the only day that there is an 8:30am meeting available. I prefer to weigh in in the morning and I don't eat before I go. Saturday there is a 10:30 meeting, so I could weigh in about 10am, but with waking up between 7 and 8 when I just let myself sleep until I wake up, I could be awake for 2+ hours before I can weigh in and then eat something. I believe that they do offer weigh in only time from 8-9:30am on Saturday mornings, so I could theoretically just go and weigh in on Saturdays and not stay for a meeting. If I want to stick with Saturday's I can't weigh in again until a week from Saturday since I weighed in on Sunday and the WW week runs Sunday thru Saturday. I guess I'm not sure if I feel a need to attend meetings while I'm here. I know I need the accountability of weighing in at a meeting location, but I feel like I get support from reading blogs and occasionally the WW website. I know that I'll need to go back to attending meetings after I am working and settled somewhere, but I debate about doing it here. (I think part of me just doesn't want to get used to and liking another meeting location, when I know living here and going to that meeting is just temporary).
With my relationship falling apart I am trying extremely hard to not let the rest of my life fall apart too, so getting myself set up with a new regular weigh in day and time for while I'm staying with my parents is extremely important to me, with the next step being to start tracking again, and then to make sure I'm staying within my daily/weekly points and adding in "formal" activity (formal = intentional exercise, vs. cleaning/reorganizing displays for my dad, etc.)
I've really liked having my weigh ins on Saturday morning and having my points reset on Saturdays too. Something about it just makes sense to me on a core level. I know I could keep my points week the same and weigh in on a different day, but I just feel weird about doing that and that means I have more to keep track of.
I signed up for the three months of eTools online for now. who knows, I may end up switching back to doing the montly pass again before that three months are up. (hopefully I at least have to move by then, and then I'll see what the new meeting location payment options are)
Ok, so here are my getting back on track to being more in control of this journey/process:
1) Confirm weigh in only times for Saturday
2) Decide on Saturdays vs. Sundays for my weigh ins.
3) Track food for a week (including points values) but don't worry about staying in range
4) Keep tracking, but stay within points range
?) Start exercising again, a couple days a week to start with (no specific timeline for when to start this, can be done as soon as tomorrow, once I get my floor picked up in my room)
