WeightWatchers Update

Well, it has been two weeks and so far WeightWatchers is working! I have lost 5 pounds in two weeks... If I keep this up, I will reach my goal weight in about 6 more weeks! I want to lose about 17 more pounds... and of course I want to tone up too! Working out has been going okay... I wish I had a workout buddy here. Sometimes I need that extra motivation! I loved the days where I would workout with Jen, Emily, or Mannie... oh, those were the days! Matt and I are going to start going on walks together. Problem with that is that I speed walk a lot faster than Matt does.... I get that from my mom! Hopefully he will be able to keep up!

I have decided that for every five pounds I lose, I get to buy a new workout outfit! I bought one outfit now and I love it! It makes me a little bit more excited to go to the gym. I know it sounds silly, but it is true... Wearing the same old outfits gets old.

I have a couple of trips home coming up so this will be the big test of my will power when it comes to keeping my points in line.... I'm so glad that I have a blackberry now so I can keep track of what I eat. I wonder how much good old Texas Roadhouse adds up to be... Oh boy!

Well, time for the gym! Wish me luck!

Taking the plunge...

Well, I finally did it. I have officially signed up for weight watchers! Yep, it was about time. I just really hope it helps in this lovely process of losing some weight! I need to lose some weight for many reasons... First of all- for my health of course. I am a nurse and I know I should be in much better health and that I should be eating better than I do! Second reason- I hate the way I look. I can't stand myself anymore... This not only affects me, but also my hubby because I never wear "cute clothes" like dresses or nice-fitting shirts anymore because I hate the way I look in them. My poor hubby sees me in sweats for the most part.... Another reason, I am in my big brother's wedding in October! Yipes! I want to look nice for the wedding!

Weight has always been an issue for me. In high school I was one chubby girl (175 lbs) until the summer between my sophomore and junior year when I lost 30 lbs! So I know that if I put my heart and mind into it, I can lose some weight.... Now that I am a little older, I know it will be harder but it needs to be done! So please help me by sending me out a little love and encouragement, because God knows I will need it!
