I am officially on day 14.
I weighed in at Weight Watchers yesterday at a disappointing 202.0 pounds. This was despite being OP for two straight weeks. Although I know all the right answers to consol myself, it is still disappointing.
I was not able to meet my goal of exercising last week because I had the flu. I am still recovering, and having difficulty breathing due to congestion. I should be able to go back to working out this week.
At Weight Watchers this week, the topic of discussion was "storyboarding." This is the process of visualizing your ultimate goal in specific terms and then breaking down the steps necessary to acheive it. I have never specifically stated an ultimate weight loss goal, although I have a vague goal of being healthy, overall, in terms of weight, physicality, spirtuality, and with an active mind. Therefore, today I am stating my specific weight loss goal: I want to be a size 12 by the end of 2006. Based on the last time I was a size 12, I will have to loose approximately 40 lbs in 50 weeks, to acheive this goal.
I've already been breaking down my overall goal into weekly "steps" or mini-goals. I will need to continue to work on these mini-goals to acheive my overall goal. In larger terms, I will need to meet certain steps to loose the required weight. My first overall step is going to be to meet my points target daily for one month. One of the problems I've had the last two weeks is undereating. I save so many points early in the day that I have too many points to consume in the evening. Part of this was being sick, but the truth is that I when I wasn't sick I was hoarding my points/calories to spend on big dinners with friends. So, until February 16 (my birthday), I solemly swear I will eat at least my minimum points every day.
As for my weekly goals, I make the following:
1. Exercise for at least 3 hours.
2. Make a meal plan and grocery plan for next week, taking into account my exercise and bible study schedule.
3. Clean the bathrooms. (This falls into the spirtual/mental health category, I swear!)

Sister... congratulations on a steady start. I know its a little disappointing, but you should be proud of the direction you're heading, especially since you were sick last weekend. I think you goal for the end of 2006 is quite reasonable and achieveable. As for me, I haven't set any weight loss goals yet but I am trying to walk 10 miles a week with the boy. Keep it up!
