Stepping It Up

In the 6 months since my last post, I have not lost a pound. In fact, I've gained a few. Between a full time job, the twins, housework, etc., I have so little time or mental capacity for eating right and fitness. I stepped on the scale last Saturday and just about had a stroke. When your sweat pants start to fit more like skinny jeans, something has to change. Rather than being depressed about it, however, I decided to be proactive. I went upstairs, got on the computer, and joined Weight Watchers! I'm doing the online version and I love it. I've only been a member for 4 days, but I've already learned SO much about my eating habits and why my previous attempts at weight loss failed. My goal is to lose 100 lbs, which would put me at the healthy weight I was before my thyroid started to spaz.

Sunday, I took a 3 mile walk outside. Monday, I did yoga out on the deck. Last night I went and re-joined the gym and I have an appointment with a personal trainer on Monday. I feel more in control than I have for a long time. If I can lose 2# a week most weeks, I'll be at my goal weight in just about a year. Sweet!

Here's to changes to come!
