I have been really bad at taking care of myself in recent months (years)? Before becoming a mommy I used to run on a regular basis, prepare lots of healthy meals, pack my lunch and take care of myself. Now? Not so much. My excuse has been that I'm too busy to do any of this. And it's true. But at the end f the day that is a crutch of an excuse to enable me to continue to stuff my trap with garbage convenience foods. Add to the fact that we have been stressed with the Troll situation, etc, etc....and....well....I've gained about 10 pounds since moving into the apartment.
Add that to the 10 I've gained since getting married (and having two children) and there's a whopping 20 pounds I'm carrying around making me feel like shit. Who needs that?
So after lamenting over my fat ass for weeks on end I'm going to finally do something.
Yesterday I signed up for Weight Watchers Online. I had heard good things about the program and frankly I don't have time or money to devote to anything beyond an online tool so I went for it.
So. For the record:
I am a stunted 5'2" in height
I weighed in yesterday at 140 pounds. Not cool.
My Goal is to get back down to 120 pounds but realistically I will be more than happy to get to 125 pounds.
I've been a good girl and have tracked all my foods and points. It's hard for me, I will admit. I'm an absent-minded eater. My downfall has been a few cookies here, a handfull of chips there. Boy, does that add up fast!
Overall, I am impressed by the online tools they provide. It's easy to use and apparently if i stay in my point range I will lose weight. So I will check in weekly with my updated stats. Weigh-in days are Sunday.
Man, I could murder a chocolate chip cookie right now. Actually....I could polish off an entire bag. Give me strength.....
