After a year without smoking, I felt it was time for the next challenge in my quest to become a healthier, better me. So, two weeks ago I started Weight Watchers and working out at home. Since blogging helped me keep my focus when I quit smoking, I decided to blog my progress in this new journey. That's me on the right holding my biggest motivator, my baby son.
I have to confess, this is my second go at Weight Watchers. On my first try, I lost quite a bit of weight and managed to keep it off for almost 2 years until I re-married. For some reason the, "I don't have to impress anyone now" mentality took over and I truly let myself go. I gained all my weight back, and then some. My final draw came when I looked at the Christmas pictures and felt horrible about it. I am taking this challenge with the same focus I did on my previous one. One day at a time, one craving at a time. Hopefully I'll be able to achieve this as well.
So, if I started two weeks ago, what's happened since? On my first week I lost 5.6 lbs, even after not following the program perfectly. I think I became overconfident and relaxed a little for my second week. Had some stuff I really shouldn't have and, although I managed to not gain any weight, not losing was a disappointment.
Rather than get all upset though, it's given me more focus. Form now on I'm sticking with it. By this time next year, I'll be at my goal and feeling and looking good. In the mean time, I need to make it through today... wish me luck, or better yet, join me in my journey.

Hey I just lost 9 pounds eating 4 small meals a day. It was great and helped me sooo much when I got off the diet - I pretty much kept the habit of eatting often though perhaps not as healthy.
