7 months later.....

NOTHING accomplished. I am still at the same weight, which at least I can say I have maintained. In June I was lucky enough to become a stay at home mom, I am only working one sometimes two days a week at the office. This opened up enough time that I also joined a gym, that of course had a daycare so I can bring my son. I am currently doing an hour long water aerobics class twice a week. Since I started this aerobics in June, I have not lost any weight, which is frustrating. I feel as though I am eating better because now my son is eating regular food instead of baby food. This motivates me to cook more healthy, yet it doesn't seem to help me any. Someone told me to have my thyroid checked, that may be my next step. I almost joined weight watchers the other day, but I convinced myself that I didn't need to pay to have someone tell me how to eat. I don't know why I keep talking myself out of weight watchers because it has worked well for quite a few people I know. And the saga continues......

2010 and we begin again!

I have a new approach... I am not going to overwhelm myself by saying "I am going to lose 59 pounds!" It's just to much and too big of a goal. But to break it down, I am going to try to lose 5 pounds a month... not unreasonable, that is like a pound and a half a week, or a little more, but TOTALLY reasonable. If I do that for 10 out of the 12 months, I have reached my undercover goal. Not to mention that gives 2 months to pick up any slack that I need to do if I don't lose 5 pounds one of the months. Here we go again!!!
