Keep on Keepin' on

It has been a few weeks since I started my weight watchers journey. Monday's are my "weight tracking" days. As of this weigh-in I am down a whopping 13lbs. I am ecstatic at this number. Peers are noticing a physical change and I am noticing clothes fitting differently. I put on my goal jeans yesterday and to my surprise they can't be classified as "goal" anymore. They not only fit, but they are comfortable to wear.

I have fallen off the wagon of the thing we call exercise. After having a terrible cold, and a mini vacation away I put it on the back burner and am finding it hard to get back to it. It is amazing what exercise can do for your energy level and stamina. I felt amazing when I was working out everyday. So much so, that my husband noticed and joined in. My goal for the week is to start Jilian Michael's 30 Day Shred again.

I have been 100% commited to the weight watchers plan and now fully understand how people can make it a lifeestyle. I am becoming more educated on nutrition and actually pay attention to the labels on food. I have heard people not purchasing foods with ingredients they cannot pronounce. I may venture this route once I am completely comfortable with reading nutrition labels.

Living "high" on life is the feeling I have at the moment. I am so anxious to keep this weight loss going, and provide a healthy lifestyle for my family. As much as I am/was addicted to food, I am finding that it is just as easy to become addicted to weight loss. It is like a competition and I am in it to win it. We are taking a family vacation to the beach in July, and I am in a wedding in October-all things that will help keep me motivated.
