So I got off track a little…. 

Well, maybe more than a little.  Duane and I have found that when we move (as in, to a new home), we seem to fall off the bandwagon.  However, a few months ago I told him I was feeling like crap again and that I wanted to go back on WW.  We have a house, we are not leaving for a very long time (years and years I hope), and I really want to look and feel my best.  He was pretty insistent on waiting until the first of the year….I was hesitant.  Now it is here…tomorrow… and I am both sad and excited.  Sad because I can no longer be ridiculous and eat to no avail (right from the frosting jar in the fridge, cookie after cookie, 2 sandwiches from the fast food place…yeah, you get the point), but happy because I can get back into the swing of things.  I do great when we are on WW.  I have complete control.  It’s like when I get freedom to do whatever I want, I get rebelious and almost hesistant to tighten the reigns again.  But alas, tomorrow will be the start of a good thing.

I am happy to report that I have not gained that much weight since I last stopped WW and blogging on here last spring.   My lowest weight was 170 and I usually sat around 174.  Even with all of my indulging, I am at 177 this morning (according to the Wii), which isn’t so bad.  Probably will be a lot higher when I step on the real scale tomorrow before work (and actually admit to it and record it, lol). 

I should also say that this time is different because even though I lost a bunch of weight last time, I hardly exercised at all.  This time is a lot different.  I got a Wii and Wii fit for my birthday and can I just say that that thing not only is a great workout, but kicks your butt?  I have been doing it every day and have noticed my energy levels increasing exponentially.  Hopefully that will also help fuel my weight loss.  Of course, I hate to let the Wii down (it hollers “Obese!” when I step on it), but I know in my heart that I will never not be overweight according to the BMI scale (which wants me under 145 pounds).  I am muscular and never meant to be very thin.  And weighing 140 pounds is not in my cards.  Maybe 150, but I would be happy with 160.  We will see, in due time, where I actually end up.

Anyway, that’s enough rambling for now.  I missed you all and am glad to be back on here.  I love it, everyone is very supportive and helpful….

So here’s to a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year to all of us!  : )

Update:  I have officially found the Wii to be very forgiving…it makes you a few pounds lighter than the actual scale (although it too said I was heavier this morning).  <Sigh>.  Just means I’ll have to work a little harder…
