So far, I’m doing well, had a mini bagel and light cream cheese for B-fast.  Plan to go for a walk later when it warms up, and I already have my lunch and dinner planned out for the day.  I’m thinking of starting Weight Watchers again.  They have a new program out called the New Momentum Program.  Still not sure, if I want to do that, or just do it on my own, either way, I’ve made up my mind and it’s going to happen.

Hope everyone had an awesome holiday season and Happy New Year!!

Seriously, that’s what I’m scared to death about. Having heart attacks, becoming diabetic, etc. I have four kids, 6 and under, that I need to be around for, and watch grow up. They need their mother and I absolutely refuse to let any of that happen to me! Just hearing her story really opened up my eyes, and gave me another push in the right direction. And also made me realize how much I need the support of this group and the support I get from my readers.

I just want to personally thank everyone that comes here, and gives me those wonderful words of encouragement. It’s really appreciated and needed, so please, keep ‘em coming!

Yes, I know I’m behind on my Weekly Recap, I’ve just been SUPER busy!  But exciting busy!  I’ve been working on creating & designing a couple of website projects that I’m really excited about.  I can definitely say that I now have a blogging addiction.  I have a total of 4 blogs that I now write on, and I’ve also got another project in the works to start writing on a blog for someone else.  Hoping eventually it will turn into a lucrative venture.  We’ll see….

This week, I am promising to start my walking.  Yes…I know…I’ve made this promise before.  I’m also going to start drinking my water like I was doing in the beginning, and I’m going to try to eat small meals every 3 hours.  That really seemed to be working really well for me, so with the walking figured in, that should really “jump start” my metabolism!

Ok…I’ve got a lot to do….I’m out!

I won’t go to say that I just gorged myself on pizza, because I didn’t.  Instead of having one or two slices, I had three.  And it was the Pizza Mia pizzas, so not too bad.  One piece is 5 points, so that’s like 15 points.  And I didn’t go over my weekly points, but still I don’t like to do stuff like that, because I feel like I am reverting back to old habits, you know?  Never a good thing for me.

So far today, I’m good.  I actually slept in late (9AM), so I skipped breakfast.  So I should be ok for the rest of the day.  Going to have a good lunch, Lean Cuisine Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza (much better choice than Pizza Hut, only 7 points), and have a light dinner, maybe a Lean Cuisine Spaghetti and Meat Sauce (5 points).  I should be good to go for weigh in tomorrow, just still slightly nervous, because my scales are showing a one pound gain.    I know, but I’m not going to let it discourage me, and I’m not going to officially claim the gain in my stats, until I weigh tomorrow, since that is my official weigh in day.  Make sense?

Anyway, I’m still motivated, not going to let this get me down, also going to officially start my walking regimen tomorrow.  Wish me luck!!!

A year long total-body-fitness program designed to challenge and motivate walkers at all levels. Whether you’re a beginner who wants to become a regular walker, an intermediate strider who is serious about reshaping her body, or an advanced trekker ready to take on the ultimate challenge of walking a marathon, we’ve got what you need.

Click here to read more and view the walking plans.

Since I’m a beginner, it suggest that I should start out only walking for 10 minutes a day (3 times a week) my first 3 weeks, then I will increase it to 15 minutes a day for the next 3 weeks after that, and so on. I will also be required to do 2 days a week of cardio starting at 10 minutes each day for the first 3 weeks, then gradually increasing that as well. They suggest taking a couple of days off a week to allow your body and muscles to recover.

Sounds like a great plan and I can’t wait to get started!

But I know, I’ve got to get myself moving a little more, or I will hit a plateau.  The weather is suppose to be really nice over the next few days (we’ve had major precip and storms), so I’m planning to get out with the babies and go walking.  Hopefully, that will keep the weight coming off.

Well…that’s it.  Just a quick post.  Got to get myself to bed.

I’m still using my own scales to keep up with my weight loss on My Fitness Pal, and so far, since I’ve started this blog, I have lost a total of 18 lbs.  I started out with a small goal of 50 lbs to lose, and I’ve achieved 1/3 of my goal!  I’d say that’s a pretty darn good accomplishment in a little over a month, wouldn’t you?

So I’m very pleased with my progress, and better yet, I’m feeling better too!  Yay me!
