A New Day is Dawning.....

Last week, my father in law and I were talking about diets and weight gain and I was telling him that I fell off the wagon and that said wagon keeps running over me again...and...again...and...well, you get the picture.....

Then my father in law and I decided to wager on who can lose the most weight in 6 months....Okay...I love a challenge! So, I decided, with much thought, that I want to start Weight Watchers again. I have been dragging my heals and then it happened...Divine intervention....Weight Watchers as started a new program. Combining the Core Plan and the Points System So, this morning before the boys got up, I took some time and registered and signed up for Weight Watchers online. It seems the most effective plan for me for now.

I need to do this...for my health, let's face, I am getting older...I hit the big 3-5 last April and I have to face the fact that I am not 18 years old anymore and I can't just starve for 10 days and be suddening thin and gorgeous, ya know?! I need to do this for my children. I want to see Jacob's grandchildren. I want to be able to run with Jacob's grandchildren. I need to do with for me. I was feeling so healthy when I lost that weight a year ago. I want to feel that feeling again. I don't want to feel run down anymore. I know that I will never been 18 years old but I can sure feel like I am 18 years old again.

Okay, so to keep me honest... Yesterday, I took measurements, today Sally took pictures of me this morning. Today I weighed myself and I, thankfully have not gain every pound back from the last time. I have gain a lot back but today is a new day...Not thinking about the past!
