I'm feeling fluffy / 189.0

Feeling fluffy for a human being is NOT a good thing.<br /><br />I don't wear 189 pounds very gracefully. It's doesn't feel comfortable. I've passed the point where I'm a little overweight, now I'm into the obese category again. <br /><br />My left knee hurts, I get out of breath easily and my blood pressure is up to hypertension levels (149/ 90--physical next month). I don't like this one little bit. I'm miserable.<br /><br />I wrote a really bad post Wednesday night. I only left it up for about five hours. Only a few people read it before I got up at 5am and deleted it. As my 14-year old nephew said after he posted something awful on Facebook a few weeks ago (he sounded very angry and depressed)...he said "I'm sorry...that's not me. I didn't mean it." I'm saying the exact same thing.<br /><br />It's strange how life slaps you up side the head one day, and you just think you're going to die from unhappiness. Sometimes that day turns into weeks. Then one day you wake up and it's like "oh well, that's life. Stuff happens. I'll be okay." That was me this morning. Whatever that thing was that I was going through seems to have passed for now.<br /><br />My change of attitude came about early today. I had a really good workout at the gym. I didn't want to go, but I had to make myself go to the gym at 5:30am. I've been going, but not as often and not working out as hard as I was a few weeks ago. Today it was different. I felt the old me coming through. The woman that wants to be healthy, and actually gives a damn about her life. <br /><br />Pretty good day today. Even if I am fluffier than I'd like to be. :)

Weight Watchers Tracker Cover

I was an E-Tools Tracker for years and years.  I liked the online convenience and the ability to see charts/graphs of the progress you've made.  I like how you can mark favorite foods and how it automatically remembers what you've tracked previously.   <br /><br />However, I recently switched over to the paper tracker and I've been having more success with it.  When I'm at work, the online tracker is great because I'm always at my computer.  However, when I get home, the last thing I want to do is turn on my computer to log Points+.  I feel the same way on the weekends - I'm not always online.  I have the WW E-Tools App for my phone, but I still find it somewhat cumbersome to log the Points+ that way too. I found that my logging was lacking!<br /><br />The paper tracker has been working out so well for me, but I was finding that it was getting worn out pretty quickly due to the constant toting to/from work or to/from the grocery store (or any other place other than at home).  In my search for buying the paper trackers online, I came upon this <a href="http://myworld.ebay.com/mywhimsicalhearts/">Ebay Store called My Whimsical Hearts</a>.  The lady is a sewing expert and she makes tracker covers that perfectly fit the Points+ trackers!  I thought this was such a genius idea and so I bought one.  I am VERY pleased with this purchase because not only does it protect the tracker, but it's very well made, very cute, and I like the bookmarks that come with it.  They are also available in other patterns.  These covers range in price from either $14 to $26 plus shipping.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_tnNPsz4fMh-tXDLMD2ymjIU56Q2Ovpa9rEJgUnuc_Xx0dXVuv_k84mN7p6twrcROAalV78QgKOjftcPjePZGVfQeo7WEgDSFwbM16c7DkrmsMHs2cmPY2VU0tiJFwrLmx3YZdTIRmCM/s1600/Blog+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_tnNPsz4fMh-tXDLMD2ymjIU56Q2Ovpa9rEJgUnuc_Xx0dXVuv_k84mN7p6twrcROAalV78QgKOjftcPjePZGVfQeo7WEgDSFwbM16c7DkrmsMHs2cmPY2VU0tiJFwrLmx3YZdTIRmCM/s320/Blog+004.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pen not included :)</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6RKHgTFCJfzTDsp7Ydu5gYBhErw5owoy7M_znXh52GzM3bH_pM7zjGvoW2M_gZXFuRWqRik7OB3aISKbhYywNH7b4r-fyiTxtiWr2EYIE4DlLd1GojgPiO9xNJjO6egdKgL6qCw2KBMw/s1600/Blog+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6RKHgTFCJfzTDsp7Ydu5gYBhErw5owoy7M_znXh52GzM3bH_pM7zjGvoW2M_gZXFuRWqRik7OB3aISKbhYywNH7b4r-fyiTxtiWr2EYIE4DlLd1GojgPiO9xNJjO6egdKgL6qCw2KBMw/s320/Blog+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I like the elastic strip on the left side that holds your papers down</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxuwao9-AK-RS1z04Hh0kmPN66ZcWZ2Y4EN6TEu15_mbchLd2Xm4Ft9HrfZApLbEanYHKw6nTcZ-GqciD-rOEaiMst0QutvVf_UBbdNmUYd4qEnN3ACVz8ZExM060Fvvi7UCRO13ZNN4/s1600/Blog+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxuwao9-AK-RS1z04Hh0kmPN66ZcWZ2Y4EN6TEu15_mbchLd2Xm4Ft9HrfZApLbEanYHKw6nTcZ-GqciD-rOEaiMst0QutvVf_UBbdNmUYd4qEnN3ACVz8ZExM060Fvvi7UCRO13ZNN4/s320/Blog+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">cute bookmark - very handy!</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA7mgTBWaqyM3c1KIXoQA3T7xYqeo0XKgxPDng6EqfLFyp9G2vMwfKP8WgGFrJ5mwAmyWSiz7RxedjIP_AegRY2xytabg3JoOb0id9XnlBX6_yWcGAkuchU0-qvGvsje-iqEeHgwmnvds/s1600/Blog+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA7mgTBWaqyM3c1KIXoQA3T7xYqeo0XKgxPDng6EqfLFyp9G2vMwfKP8WgGFrJ5mwAmyWSiz7RxedjIP_AegRY2xytabg3JoOb0id9XnlBX6_yWcGAkuchU0-qvGvsje-iqEeHgwmnvds/s320/Blog+007.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">inside pocket - also very handy!</td></tr></tbody></table>By the way, I do not know the owner of this Ebay store at all, and she has in no way influenced me to market her product to you, other than the fact that I love this thing!  It's just that when I find awesome, functional things that help me out in my weight loss journey, I was to pass them along to you as well!  Please go check her out!
