Weight Watchers - Week 2 Weigh In

-0.5 Woo Hoo. Not as impressive as I could have hoped but I've already lost a couple of centimeters as well so I'm happy. A loss is still a loss and it sure beats the gain I had last week. I'm hoping next week will be even better as I've read that it can take one or two weeks for the good (or bad) you do in one week to show up on the scales.

I also had a dentist appointment today and the hole in one of my front teeth is now gone. It looks so much better in the mirror because before there was a dark spot where the tooth had decayed. Now it looks like a tooth. I'm booked in again in a couple of weeks to get two more teeth done and I need to stop in at the shop and get some dental floss. That's what my dentist insisted on. Apparently the reason my teeth are so bad is because I have never flossed. My mother doesn't believe it does anything so she never taught us or raised us to floss. She didn't really encourage regular brushing either but I'm trying to get into the habit, not just for me but for my kids.

I've put a bid on ebay for a playstation dance mat and game. I've read that the game is really good and it's great for exercise. I hope I win and I look forward to dancing away on the mat. That's my goal reward for doing 10,000 steps every day last week.

This week my mini-goal is to continue with the 10,000 steps per day but to also manage a full 2 litres every day. I've set my goal reward as a bottle of bubble bath, a loofah sponge and a night of luxury after the kids are in bed. I can't remember the last time I did that and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll manage the water and the steps so that I can earn it.

I've go so much to get done. Tomorrow I've been invited to join a couple of WW ladies for coffee and I'm going to make the effort to go. All part of my self improvement goals at the moment. I need to develop RL friendships and hopefully I'll be able to connect with these women. I'm already suffering anxiety about it and I hope it doesn't overwhelm me and cause me to pike out.

But on top of that I've got a deadline for a feature on Ipseitys that is quite complicated. I managed to get a large portion of the code written today but there is still a lot of tweaking and perfecting required. Assuming there are no major interruptions other than the coffee break, and assuming I get straight to work instead of procrastinating this morning, I should manage to get it done in time.

Meanwhile it's already 10:35PM and I've got 3,000 steps to go so I better log off and get stepping. Have a great day everyone, I hope life give you a few curve balls that you hit back for home runs. That's kind of like spice to make life interesting but not enough to spoil the pot. lol Am I getting any better at metaphor? No? *sighs* Oh well, maybe someday. lol
