As I sat on my couch over the weekend, for once I didn't have homework or have to work at my second job, I realized that I was starting to see alittle pudge going on in areas that I haven't in a few years. For some reason I seem to gain 5-10lbs between February and May, why, I have no clue. You would think it would be from November to January?! Anyways, I told myself that I wasn't going to let that happen this year and of course I did. So, being smart and not waiting til May to start doing something about it. I decided to start this week.
So on Sunday night I told myself that I was going to put myself back on Weight Watchers, which I have all of the materials from because after my Freshman year of college and gaining 30 lbs!!! YIKES, I joined WW! So, I took out all my stuff and brought it along with me to work on Monday. Let me tell you, I struggled yesterday, since muffins and brownines were still in the kitchen from Friday. Still fresh- suprisingly! Anyways, I did not eat any of them, just drooled at them. I felt hungry all day, I think because I knew I was trying to watch what I eat! I looked through my books again so I knew how many points I could eat and what had what points.
I am only allowed 22 points a day. Which for me, someone who usually eats everything in sight, and it's not that I am fat, it's I eat unhealthy, is hard! I know that I went over a little yesterday, but I still ate healthy. Today I am so proud of myself. I have eaten all of my meals and have 3 points left. I am planning on stopping before class to get a fruit and yogart parfait from McDonald's, which is only 3 points. I figure I deserve a sweet little treat, and I will still be in my range.
So, I am excited about my new journey, I am not looking to be super model thin, but I want to look good in a swim suit this summer and also feel good. Weight is only a number to me and it's not that number I care about, it's about feeling good about myself! I really plan on sticking to my new- eating healthy kick and getting ready for summer. Not only will this help me get in shape for summer, but it will get me ready for the softball season that starts in mid-May! So wish me luck and no temptation to fall back into old habits. Habits are hard to get rid of. You lose the H and you still have ABIT, you loose the A and you still have BIT, and you lose the B and you still have IT! :) To healthy lifestyles!

I also wrote a blog about healthy living and food choices, you may find it interesting :) I've also been a member of WW before, lost 20 pounds in high school for the musical in spring! I wish I still had the materials handy, I would definately do that again.
