So Far So Good

I've been doing pretty good this weekend with Weight Watchers and exercising. Every afternoon I drive home, get in a 5 minute walk and then 15 minute jog and then drive back to work. It reminds me of being in a high school gym class, LOL. Having to do the quick "wipe down/dry off" and then rush to get dressed again and out the door. It's been good, though. I have the entire place to myself and can watch reruns of MadTV on Comedy Central.

As Promised - Round One Weight Watcher Pictures

This was taken in the fall of 2003. I was approximately 160 pounds. This was taken in the fall of 2005. I weighed approximately 126 pounds. It's amazing what can be accomplished when you really want it. I guess I've just been trying to get back to that point of really wanting to loose this weight. I can blame it on stress, or whatever, but the fact is that I need to quit "trying" to follow the Weight Watcher program and just do it. I am currently weighing in around 150, so I look pretty much like the 2003 picture. I don't care who knows. I'm putting this out there. Consider it one way I'm holding myself accountable.

Day One

So today I am back on Weight Watchers. I've been working on it loosely over the past few months, but I've finally gotten so sick of not loosing weight and half-assedly trying. I lost almost 40 pounds with Weight Watchers before getting pregnant. I even kept it off for almost 2 years! If I can find the before/after pictures during my first round of WW, I'll post them. More as a reminder of what I can do and intend to do again (if it kills me, dammit!) Today, I've followed the points program and I went home over lunch to get my jog/walk in. It was only 20 minutes total (10 of it jogging) but it's better than not doing anything at all. Plus, I had the place entirely to myself. No crying baby in the other room, no husband asking me how much longer I have, nothing. It was quite nice. The side "benefit" is that my credit cards will get a break. LOL! I work very close to a mall and while that works well to get the Christmas shopping done during the day, it has played havok on reducing the balance of the before-mentioned cards. So here goes, day one.
