Back on the Wagon

Back in the saddle, with the program. Whatever the phrase. I joined Weight Watchers 3 weeks ago and it is going really well. I've lost 10.4 pounds in 3 weeks and it feels great. Joined a gym, didn't go last week because of a full schedule every friggin day after work. Went back tonight and managed on the stationary bike for awhile. Then when I was leaving I saw Coby from Survivor:Pulau. You never expect to see any celebrity, no matter how minor, in Tyler. But I forgot he has a salon here.

So I'm on a new diabetes med now, Byetta, injectable twice a day in my tummy. Lovely side benefit - appetite depressant. THANK GOD AND PRAISE JESUS. It is helping a lot with the diet that I'm not as friggin hungry as I used to be. Except when I have a migraine, and I react opposite to everyone else in the world who gets nauseous with migraines. I am hungry and have to eat or my head gets worse.

I have 110 pounds more to lose. I can't think of that number too much because it is so overwhelming. So I will think of 10 pounds at a time. I had actually lost 9 pounds before I rejoined WW so all in all I have lost 19 pounds.

I don't remember if I included this on my list of reasons to lose weight - but it is now easier to bend over and reach my feet to put on shoes and socks. Thinner people take this simple task for granted. I did too until I got fat enough to make it a true chore. My mid section feels a little like an air mattress that you've let a little air out of.

I've got into watching this damn American Idol from almost the beginning this time. I got tired of hearing everyone else talk about it. I used to not watch until the final episode.

And 24 is back. Jack Bauer kicks ass. They hurt my precious Tony. The fat hobbit must die. ANd i think Buchanan's hot. Funny how the older I get, the more I notice older men.
Survivor is average so far and thank GOD Amazing Race is back next week, back to the old format. Life is good.
