My WeightWatchers roller coaster ride
My best friend and her fiancee joined weight watchers some several months ago, and since then, they’ve each lost about 30 pounds. Having been dealing for a while now with my own weight loss struggle, I decided to join, as well, if only just to get me on track. My goal is really only to lose about 20 pounds (and develop healthier eating habits in the process), so I thought, that couldn’t be too hard, right? Wrong.
My first week, I lost 1.8 pounds. I was thrilled; until my second weigh-in where I gained 2.4 pounds. I’d been doing everything right and tracking religiously, so where did I go wrong? The fact also that everyone around me only continued to lose weight made my gain that much more bitter. This week, I was sure I’d gain again because I went out partying twice during the week. I also haven’t really been able to exercise thanks to this injury my orthopedist refers to as “snapping knee”. It’s not an issue of high- or low-impact workouts, it’s an issue of I can’t even bend my knee at all without pain. (more…)

Last night I watched (albeit a day late) the season 4 premier of Jerseylicious. Normally, I’d avoid that sort of trash (and reality tv all together) like the plague, but the season premier was a special instance.
