Now, I signed up for online only access back when Carson was born but recently (Saturday) changed my subscription to Total Access which provides me with a personal coach. I picked a gal from Iowa because it's my home state! I figured living in the midwest we could each bitch about the sucky ass weather.
I had my first call with my coach, Julie, on Monday and it was a great phone call and actually very motivating. You get an Action Plan every week to tackle obstacles that might derail you and things you want to try to work on. For me, it was adding in some kind of activity now that Carson can entertain himself more and making smart choices while I'm on a party bus this Saturday for a birthday party!
Here's what the Dashboard looks like on the website:
My next session with my coach will be Sunday afternoon. I weigh in on Saturday and it will also be the day after the party so I will be able to reflect on the week and make a plan for the following week.
So far, I'm liking the coaching!
*side note
It IS pricy. For Total Access (meetings, online tools, and coaching sessions) it is $69.95/month. So if you aren't serious about it, don't sign up for it.
*end note
Here has been my weight changes so far since being on WW since 12/4/2014:
*please note that my giant weight losses are from getting a baby removed from my belly. :)
Also, I am not ashamed of sharing my weight. Yes, I'm over 250 pounds. That number does not define me. I have run THREE HALF MARATHONS. One of them I was 240 pounds. I have run more 5K races than I can count. That number does.not.define.me.
Therefore, I will share my weight, my progress and one day when I'm back to 165 I will jump with joy and all of you can celebrate with me!

I peeked at the scale this morning and was SUPER happy with what I saw. It will definitely keep my momentum going for the rest of the week. I have already planned and tracked breakfast, lunch, and snacks for today and dinner will be a veggie stir fry. I just don't know if I want rice or quinoa with it.
Being Vegetarian is still going very well and I still feel fantastic. Here are some of the yummy things I've been eating:
 |
| Strawberry Salad from Amberjack with no chicken |
 |
| Grits with a little butter and hot sauce (favorite breakfast right now) |
 |
| Spinach and tofu soup with a side of roasted potatoes |
 |
| Vegetable Stir Fry with brown rice |
I am seriously loving all the fun food combinations and meals I've been creating.
Until the Farmer's Market starts back up in Springfield I signed up for Farmbox Direct. I signed up for the small fruits/veggies box. It delivers fresh organic produce to your door! Again, may seem kind of pricey to some, but I'm not eating meat and get my protein from vegetables so I need lots of them. I got my first box last week and everything in it has been amazing. That stir fry picture has a lot of the veggies from the box. I have set it up so that I only get a box a month due to cost reasons. I will probably switch to a fruit only box once the farmer's market in town starts. Plus, I plan on having an epic garden this year.
