Welcome to the Boston Knotties WW Blog: 2pt Margaritas!

Welcome to the handy dandy new Boston Knotties WW Blog. I'm going to try to post a little something new each day (or at least once or twice a week) so that we can all become "buff brides" for our wedding day. These posts will either be words of encouragement, recipes or some jazzy little exercise that we learned. If you have anything that you would like to add, please page me on the Boston Knot board (my name is jamidandedb) and I'll make sure that your information will make it on here.

I have 353 days until I get hitched (not that I'm counting) and I'd just like to lose at least one dress size. One way that will help me to do that is to stop making excuses. I'm always "justifying" bad choices that I've made about foods. FI had gotten a bug bite on his lip (yeah I know a bit weird) but it had gotten infected and his lip swelled up so much. Well I was going to make soup yesterday (bad choice for him) so I let him order Domino's and had him get me some chicken kickers (1 point for each "nugget"). That's all fine and dandy, but I ate the whole box. Not cool seeing how I didn't have 10 points left for the day. I told him tonight he can order out, but I'm making my own meal. I came within 3 pounds of my final goal weight, and gained everything back plus some. I'm just sick of crying over how I look in my clothes (and out of my clothes) and sick of making excuses.

Tell me: What are some excuses that you have made for yourself regarding WW/dieting or exercising?
