So I'm trying to lose weight...again. I decided to use Weight Watchers Online...again. I tried it a couple of years ago since my cousin was on regular Weight Watchers and lost an amazing amount of weight. I don't have as much to lose as she did but I certainly need to lose a good chunk.
A little background on me. I'm a married, full-time working mother of two who has a schedule similar to what I'm sure many moms have out there. I grew up pretty active and didn't ever really worry about my weight. While never "skinny" I didn't ever consider myself fat either. Somewhere in the middle. I joined the army after a couple years in community college and spent six years serving my country, getting married and having my oldest daughter while in. That was when the first bit of weight stuck. I gained 40 pounds when pregnant and only managed to lose about 20 of it. After leaving the Army, I gained another 40 pounds while pregnant with my second and only lost about 20 of that. If you haven't been keeping score, that's 40 pounds to lose. I probably could have lost a good 10 to 20 before that anyway, if I'm completely honest. So my total goal is to lose 50 pounds. A nice round number, no pun intended.
So baby steps on this long journey. I have brought my lunch today instead of relying on whatever I can buy at the fast food joints, drinking water instead of Coke and planning on my meals ahead of time. I'm also hoping to exercise some after work, but we'll see how motivated I feel after the day finishes up.
So this is the first day for the rest of my life. Yeah.
