We’re Down A Bunch Of Weight.. And We Quit Weight Watchers?

Yep, that’s right.. on both counts.

I’m proud to say that as of this morning I am down 9.2 lbs, and Liz was down 10.4 lbs as of this morning as well. How awesome is that eh? Pretty darn awesome if you ask me It’s all about what you eat.. as I’ve posted before.. I do a little bit of exercise in the way of goaltending now, but it isn’t exercise that makes you drop weight, it’s the foot you eat.

So I’m almost 1/2 way to my goal.. Liz is as well.. we’ve calculated that we’ve been on Weight Watchers since August 18th or so, so what’s that.. a month and a half? Awesome! So ya.. now we quit.

Ok, we didn’t really quit we actually just decided that we’d stop paying WW $15 a week to go in and get ‘weighed in’. It really didn’t make sense to me after the first week we did it, however as long as Liz was going and motivated, I was willing to do it. Last week however, Liz emailed me and told me that we should keep doing the program, but instead of paying the money, just keep track ourselves as we do have a digital scale at home.

I couldn’t agree more, I think it’s important to start, as well as to get the information and program.. however once you start and get used to it.. you really don’t need to keep going to and paying etc.. Between the two of us, we were spending $120 a month ($15 x 4 x 2) and we could spend that on groceries or something else. Heck with it.

The biggest thing continues to be self control and attitude... this cannot be understated. If you want to lose weight and are determined, you will do it. If you just expect it to happen without changing anything… it won’t. It’s the same with everything, if you want to retire early in life.. you have to save money and invest wisely.. if you don’t do anything.. you won’t..

Personally, I want to go on orlando vacations and more NHL hockey games when I retire.. as well as many, many other things.. so I’m starting early and trying to stay focused on that. So I’ll keep losing weight until I reach my goal then start working out at the gym.. (yes.. I could do both and I realize this.. but hell with that.. I’m busy enough!!) and I’m going to continue to try to invest wisely and keep glancing back at the compound interest calculator that is just an amazing piece of information.
