If what you're doing isn't working, try something else

I had another sad little loss today. I weighed in at 162.8 for a loss of 0.8 pounds. Seriously. That is pathetic.<br /><br />I counted Points for all of two days, last Saturday and Sunday. I tried the rest of the week but I hate it. Really, really hate it.<br /><br />It's time for something different. What I'm doing isn't working for weight loss. It's great for maintenance, but I'm NOT at goal. <br /><br />My new plan is eating Filling Foods. My Weight Watcher leader has been suggested this to me for months, but I shudder at the thought of not counting Points. However, that's what I'm doing now, I am NOT counting Points. I eat mostly filling foods anyway, so it won't be that different. Today is day one of eating filling foods. Kind of scary to not even try to count Points.<br /><br />The gym has also lost it's charm. I still go almost every day, but I'm going because I have to, not because I want to go. A friend sent me a groupon link for a month of bootcamp for $39 (usually $247). Yes, that's a savings of 208. How could I refuse. I signed up and start on Monday morning. Each week I can attend as many boot camp classes as I can handle. I'll see how it goes. My plan is four boot camp classes a week and two gym visits. <br /><br />I watched the video on the bootcamp website, and I'm just a tiny bit concerned. It looks really difficult. I've done bootcamp classes before, but never at a bootcamp fitness center. I hope I'm as strong as I think I am, but I could be wrong. At least it sounds interesting and a real challenge. If I make a fool of myself, well, it certainly won't be the first time. :)<br /><br />It's an absolutely spectacularly beautiful day here in Seattle. Not a cloud in the sky. Sometimes I think because we become so accustomed to the dark, gray, rainy days, that when the sun shines, the colors are even more vivid than normal. Pictures tomorrow, I promise.<br /><br />My mother-in-law and her husband are in town for the weekend, on their way to Alaska for the summer. We're spending the day with them in downtown Seattle, <a href="http://www.archiemcpheeseattle.com/">Archie McPhee's Novelty Shop</a> (mother-in-law's idea), <a href="http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/frameset.asp?flash=false">Pike Place Market</a> for salmon throwing, and somewhere for a seafood dinner. It should be fun. I love my in-laws, they're actually a blast to hang out with (and they like me!). I'd be friends with them even if I wasn't married to their son.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!

Hello friends! I'm glad you enjoyed my Austin post.<br /><br />Right now Kyle & I are on the bus to the start line for the Dam to Dam race in Des Moines. I'm a shade nervous for two reasons:<br />1. There is a thunderstorm warning throughout the entire morning & its already raining.<br />2. My training this month is no where close to where I had hoped it would have been.<br /><br />BUT....I'm going to press through & do it!!<br /><br />Make sure to check back later this weekend for a full update!
