Starting over

I've REALLY fallen off the bandwagon. I worked so hard for a year to lose 50 pounds and I'm embarassed to say how much of that 50 I've gained back. It's not all of it, but it's enough to make me upset with myself. BUT the good news is that I am not letting myself gain it all back and am getting myself back in the mindset of losing weight and getting healthy.

I joined Weight Watchers online. I think part of my problem with Jenny Craig, was that they never taught me how to eat the food I would normally eat. All of it was frozen food. I'm not knocking it, but when you have eaten the same things for over a year, it gets old. So with the WW online deal, I eat what I want but just keep track of the "points" for each item all day. Tonight I worked on updating my info with the sight. Tomorrow, I will work on mapping out a week's menu that I can stick with. I went and got some groceries tonight that I know (from my experience with Jenny Craig) are good things to have in stock when you are trying to lose weight.

Wednesday's goal is to hit the gym and go to Zumba again. Slow and steady steps to get back in the groove of sticking to eating healthy and working out. I reset my ticker to go along with the suggested small goals on WW online, so I'm focusing on 12 pounds to start with. I have my weigh in days set for Fridays b/c I usually do better during the week and feel it's more accurate. I'm also going to look up some 5ks to set as goals to work toward in my workouts.

I'm ready! I'm set! Here I go!
