Keep on keeping on
I'm tired tonight. I went over my dailies yet again. I'm going to have to actively start working on not doing that. I think every time I feel like munching I'm going to do the old drink a big glass of water and see if your still hungry trick. I made a yummy recipe from www.skinnytaste.com for dinner. It was lemon feta chicken with oregano. The whole family loved it and there's a serving all packed up for me to bring for lunch on Friday.
I made it to the gym tonight. I forgot how much I absolutely hate the gym. I just walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes. It's not much but it will have I do. I'd rather walk outside but with tips in the teens/low twenties that's not going to happen. I'm hoping the weather will warm up enough that I can take my son for a walk both days this weekend. Somehow my 3 1/2 year old has decided he still loves to be pushed in the stroller. I'm not going to argue with him some it makes it that much easier for me to get out and exercise

Here we go again
Here it is, the proof that I've been a complete slacker and really haven't paid any attention to my health for at least the last 6 months.
My low was 164.4 on Halloween of 2010. The last time I saw this weight was June 27 of 2010. So it took me 4 months to lose fifteen pounds and 14 months to gain it back. So by that thinking I gained about a pound a month. If I continued on that cycle I would be back at my original starting weight by years end and that is why I needed to stop it before it went way, way too far.
I tracked all my food today, including the chocolate chip cookie I had at work, even though that meant I went over my dailies by 10. I'd really like to be snacking on something now but the only person whose going to lose out from that is me and I really want to fit in my clothes again.

Yep...I'm back too.
Over the last couple day's I've noticed my blog feed getting busier and busier. Everyone seems to be making a fresh start at this weight loss thing. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels like a big failure but is ready to move forward. Onward and upward...ahem.... I mean downward. I'm starting the new year not anywhere near where I wanted to. My weight has gone up, up, up along with my caloric intake and my activity level has plummeted to nothing.
I'll post the damage tomorrow along with a picture of what the scale says. It's not going to be pretty.
I've read some of my favorite bloggers talking about kicking 2012's ass and that's just what I plan to do as well. I've got my weight watchers app downloaded to my iphone as well as my imapmyrun app and I'm ready to kick 2012's ass. Who's in?

Weigh In
After week one on weight watchers again I weighed in today at 169.4. Not too bad considering TOM hit yesterday and I feel like the StayPuf Marshmallow Michelle.

Ticking downward
I'm not sure why I'm always so amazed that being on a plan and actually sticking to it works. I started doing WW again on Monday. As of this morning the scale had already gone all the way down to 167.4. Once again I feel in control. I haven't done much(any) exercise since my 1.2 mile jog Sunday. I'd like to go for a run but its been rainy all day and I have a sore throat so I'm just going to go to bed early and hope that a good nights sleep will counteract the lack of exercise.

As promised
New starting weight as of this morning a horrible but nonetheless expected 172. I took new measurements but it was this afternoon and I'd prefer to do them in the morning again because thats when I originally was tracking and for accuracy I want to stay with that. So that's where I am. I kept to my points so far today and I actually have 3 left which I'm pretty sure I'll use because I;m getting pretty hungry right now.

Over a month
It's been over a month since I've blogged and yes as seems to be the norm with most bloggers, not checking in means that I've been slacking off. Weigh in today 172.6, I didn't ever want to see a number that high again. EVER. And there it was staring me in the face. What did I do after seeing it, you might ask? I drank 3 large glasses of water and then I ate a big bowl of cookies and cream ice cream. Way to go, right? About an hour after that I did got out for a 1.2 mile run/walk, which showed me just how completley out of shape I've become. My endurance sucks. I can't run for very long without giving up and taking a walking break. Frankly it pisses me off. I got too comfortable and too lazy and I wasn't anywhere near the part in this weight loss process that I could afford to do that. So I'm putting this out here once again. I'm starting over. Tomorrow morning I will take updated measurements and weight (hopefully it will be less than what I saw tonight), which I will post tomorrow night and I will recommit. I could really use a challenge to kickstart this, does anyone know of any challenges being hosted that I could jump in on? I need to get my butt in gear, summers coming and with two beach vacations planned I need to get into better shape.
