Well the District Convention has come and gone. I missed quite a bit due to the girls being 2 and very active, but what I did get to hear was WONDERFUL and so timely. The information was exactly what I needed to hear and I am so thankful that Jehovah provides the conventions so that we can learn and be spiritually upbuilt. I am sure that it was recorded, so hopefully we will get a copy of it soon so that I won't miss a bit!
In terms of weighing, I didn't even bother. Here is the situation - I fit all of my dresses for each day. On the first day, I wore a size 10 dress. On the 2nd day, I wore a size 12 and on the 3rd day a size 8. So, whatever the situation, I didn't have to wear a plus size dress, so it is all good. :) I've been away from the scale so long now, that it really doesn't have the same power over me and I am thankful for that. Sure, I don't want to gain alot of weight, but at the same time, I still feel like I look okay, so I will just stick with that. I still haven't read all of the materials, but I will be moving over to WW. I just feel like WW is more of a family plan. I can prepare the same meals that I eat for my family and don't have to feel so separated all of the time. I am really excited. I have tons of WW materials and aware of tons of sites, so I am really excited!!!
It is a little difficult on the psyche though to think of joining and being parts of sites that talk about fruit and bread. That hasn't been a part of my world for such a long time. Well, wasn't supposed to be. :) It is going to be quite different, but I am ready. I really enjoyed when I was working out regularly. I felt very powerful and I felt it helped me to keep my mind straight. I plan to get started with working out regularly as well next week. Yeah, I am kinda taking some time off. A weight gain is inevitable since coming off of low carb, so I am going to enjoy myself a little bit and then get really serious. I still have plans to reach my goal, but just not by low carbing. Probably will stop about 147 again. We will just have to see. I really want all of this to be about my health and the health of my family, so hopefully I will know when I get there.
So, nothing much to report, just happy to be free of a few things. Free from feeling that low carb is the only answer for me. Free from the bondages of the scale as I realize it doesn't reflect my true self. If that was the case, how is it that I was able to wear a size 8 dress? I know that the next several months will be challenging, but I will face these challenges and I WILL get to GOAL!
