I made it to the gym this morning and did my elliptical workout. I really enjoy the elliptical, far more than the running, but I think the running will serve me well in the future, so I'm sticking with it. I just like going to the gym a lot more on the mornings when I'm doing the elliptical. It was a good workout - I'm totally getting addicted. I hate how I feel in the mornings when I don't work out, which is a fantastic thing really. Means I'm more likely to keep this exercise thing going for the long run.

Joined WW with my mom today too. I'm not sure about this one - I've been doing well on my own - slow, slow, slow weightloss, but it's been consistent. But Mike wants to do something about his weight, and he was so successful doing this before. And I could stand to be more conscious about what I'm putting into my body. The issue I'm having is with the weekly weigh=ins. I know if I get too hung up on those numbers, I'm done. So the key is being careful about the 'weight' I give those numbers, so to speak. Slow and steady is good. Obsessing about every single point value or plateau, bad. I've signed up for 15 weeks, which will take me through the worst of my weight gain times - Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then see how I'm doing...

On a very positive (yet somewhat embarrassing) note: Mhy pants that have been getting too big over the last few months are officially WAY TOO BIG - I wore them today and they kept falling off. Like really off - down to my knees at one point. Luckily I had a long coat on. But this is officially the last time I'll be wearing those pants!
