Time Off

Well hello all in blog land.  I guess its been a while since I've last posted...February to be exact.  I guess its only fair to fess up...I fell of the wagon.

I've figured out (although I probably knew this before but choose to live in blissful denial) that weight loss is hard.  My focus has been to lose x amount of pounds, the amount to get me to my goal weight.  I also decided that eating healthier would assist in this journey..............no matter how painful.  Focusing on one giant goal hasn't been all that helpful.  It had also been very hard to make myself eat healthy when there were so many delicious distractions.

I also learned, and it took me a while, that losing weight by yourself is very hard.  I figured I was a strong willed individual and could do it on my own.  As the weeks slipped into months, I realized that I may be in over my head...no matter how strong my will was.  So I enlisted help.  My mother had suggested Weight Watchers, and I finally broke down and joined Weight Watchers...yes Weight Watchers, and instantly noticed results.  It also didn't hurt that I joined in the middle of summer fruit season!!

While it does costs some moolah to join Weight Watchers, the pay off is justifiable.  They have quick, easy recipes and already made foods, and they all taste good.  It teaches you how to make some of your favorite meals, but with less fat and carbs.  Making something you love healthier without trading the taste.  They also have tips that help you stay on track.

I also decided that since I've changed the diet thing up, I should get back on here and start chronicling my journey once more.  So to all you who have been missing it, I'm terribly sorry.  Hopefully this time I stay on track....with everything! :)
