Facing Reality

I usually weigh in on tuesdays, but since I was moving this past tuesday, I missed my usual meeting. I went in yesterday and was a whopping 167, not really my ideal weight, or where I want to be, but it was a slap in the face to get back on track, no more excuses, no more "starting tomorrow"s.

Had a surprise visit from family this afternoon and went out for dinner, which is always something I need mental preparation for if I am going to be good. I ended up going with a 6" calzone...estimated (which I HATE doing) 10 points. I atleast stuck to writing everything down today. That is number one goal to getting back on track.

I have been doing well with getting in activity. Monday I did a 50 minute spin class, tuesday was bootcamp and moving out o fmy old place, wednesday I moved into the new place, but didn't get a formal workout in, thursday was bootcamp again, and this afternoon i did another 50 minute spin class. felt great getting in the workouts, and sweating a bit. I am not sure bootcamp is doing for me what i need, but it is better than nothing. I am trying to work out a gym schedule that will give me what i need and be fun at the same time...we will see how it goes.

Back and Better than Ever!!

So I have been away from this for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. I need accountability, I need to brag about my success and I need to have support when I flub up. So here I am again, trying to get back into the blogging thing. I love to do it, but finding the time has been a bit of a challenge. I haev decided that, as my title suggests, I am worth it.

So here is my update:

I hit my weight watchers goal weight weekes before my wedding, and became a lifetime member a week before the wedding. It was great, the wedding was great. Lots of life changes in the last little while, but I am still mainaining ALMOST my weight watchers goal weight. Goal was 160...I have been hovering a little closer (or exactly at) the 165 mark for the last year. September 2008 i ran my first marathon (did a 1/2 in september 2007, and a half in July of 2008 as well). The training for that really boosted my appetite, and I haven't been able to get back to the 160 mark yet. Accountability is what I am missing, so we will see how this blogging thing goes this time around.
