Long time, no post

I have no idea if anyone actually reads this blog or not. I'll update/post anyways. :)

I feel off the Weight Watchers bandwagon after my last post. It was right around Thanksgiving. I had been sick and I was kind of tired of doing it after 7 months. At that point I had lost 27.4lbs. Yay me.

I stopped weighing in and it then I stopped tracking...so you get it. I slowly gained back 7.4lbs over the course of Thanksgiving, Christmas and the cold weather until now...early February. Excuses but whatever. I do better when I have accountability outside of my home.

I said to the hubby this morning "I need to get back to Weight Watchers." He unhesitatingly said "Yes, you do." I did a quick head turn and said "What?". I was expecting a "We don't have the money" or him ignoring me with a yeah okay sure. I was no expecting that. He said "Not because you have gained a lot of weight back, but because you just ate healthier when you were on it.

My original goal was to be 130 by the time E turned one. Which is February 23rd. That is not going to happen, but it's my own fault. I am not mad at myself and I am not stressed over it, but I am happier with my weight than I thought I would be if I didn't meet my personal goal.

I am ready for the weather to get warm again so I can walk again. I have kept fairly active. I walked 6.5 miles a few weeks ago. I am still breastfeeding but E also eats food so I get 33 points this time instead of 40.

I am nervous and excited about starting again but I am also dreading it. I know what it takes and I know it's hard but I really don't want to gain all that weight back. I don't want to pull out my old jeans because I was lazy. That is unacceptable to me. So here my journey begins again.

STARTING WEIGHT: 141.2
5% Weight: 134.1
GOAL WEIGHT: 130
