I rewarded myself with a "food" item {which I know I'm not supposed to do, but hey, it was a Starbucks skinny latte!!} by treating myself to a coffee this morning. Now I'm off to make some returns and do a little shopping. I wish I fit in smaller pants but that will come in time.

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi...

Starting Fresh!

I am down 18.8 lbs. since I began my journey on January 22, 2012. The last couple of weeks I lost and gained the same 2 lbs. and started to give up hope. Today I woke up and decided that I wouldn't lose hope, so I went to my Sunday morning meeting and decided to start again! The meeting was about keeping up during the summer so here are the goals that I have set for myself: Weight ---My weight today is 150.6 lbs. ---What I hope to weigh by Labor Day (in 13 weeks) is 135.6 lbs. Activity ---Activities I'll be doing are playing with my kids, walking the treadmill, and (hopefully) getting back to Zumba classes. ---Something new I'll try is running outside. I currently run/walk on my treadmill but I'd like to continue this activity outside, if possible. ---How often and how long I'll plan to be active: I would like to continue my run/walk program for 3x/ week. BUT I'd love to up that to about 6x/week (work 3 days, rest, work 3 days, rest, etc.) Lifestyle...

Clean Slate!

I have a clean slate! Well, kind of. Yesterday I walked back through the doors of Weight Watchers and decided to ask for a clean slate. I missed the last three weekends and decided that yesterday was going to be a very sad day for me in terms of weighing in. So, I walked in, told the receptionist that I was "starting over" and that is what I did! She deleted my previous history from the computer and I'm acting like a new member. So...my new starting weight is 161.6 lbs. and I'm going forward from there. I can do this. I have a good feeling about this. It's all on my shoulders but I really need to lose some weight this summer and I'd love to see goal by September 5th. Technically, it's "only" 20.6 lbs. but back when I was about 5 lbs. from goal, I thought I had it. Apparently I did not. (Insert sad face here.) There are 15 weeks between now and September 5th. There is a holiday on Monday (cookout at home...I've got this!) and a holiday July 4t...
