"Don't Stop Believin'" - Journey

So, if you haven't been able to tell by now, each of my blog posts will be the title of a song. The title will reflect how I am feeling that day.

Let me update you on the past couple of days. Nate and I went to San Antonio for New Year's with our friends, Jennifer & Damon. They just had twins 3 weeks ago so it was Jenn's first time away from the girls.  We had an amazing time! We went on the Riverwalk, drank like crazy and just enjoyed being in the moment. The best time of all was when we were at a restaurant called 'Ritas on the River'. You figure out what their specialty was ;o)  Well, a mariachi band came by and asked if we wanted a song. I told them sure! They began to play "My Girl" which is Jenn & Damon's wedding song. My jaw dropped. It was totally fate. I also ate like crazy. I figured that I had better get my kicks in then. But boy was I feeling it. I felt like I needed a cleansing fast to clean the grease out of my intestines.  Not gonna do that again.

So I decided that Weight Watchers was going to be the best choice for me. My sis in law went with me for moral support (she decided that she wanted to try it as well).  I consider myself somewhat of a WW pro. I mean, the leader knows my name as soon as I walk in the door. Her name is Wendy and is too sweet. She is a woman in her mid 50's who lost 68 lbs. several years ago and has been a leader ever since. So I weighed in. I already knew my approximate weight but....man, it can still take your breath away so here goes....my current weight is 297.2 lbs. Yes. I weigh almost 300 lbs. It really hurts to put my true weight out there because it is such a huge number but I am hoping by doing this, it will put me on the right track. So long, 297. You will be gone VERY soon. :)

So after I weighed in and paid, I started looking through all the material. Things have changed a little since I last came in but for the better. The thing I love about WW is that it really concentrated on eating healthy but also splurging every once in awhile if you choose to do so - as long as you are smart about it. I call it the "Real Woman Plan".

Ok, well I am going to get a donut....just kidding ;) But I AM going to clean my house. It's funny - when I'm by myself, the house tends to stay neat. But when my husband comes around, forget it.

Happy Day everyone! :)
