I'm Back!

Yep, I have motivation and I am back tracking and getting lots of water in.
You would think with my getting on and off the wagon so much it would count for activity points and my weight would have gone down! LOL
I have decided I am tired of seeing my weight go on the rise again wiping away all my hard work over the past few years...
Its work, I have/had to face that.  It is not going to come off magically.  I am very educated on what is right and wrong with eating and nutrition... and it is absolutely amazing how tracking all my food actually causes me to lose weight!  It works!

So where did my motivation come from?  Well, part of it came from a little blood test that my husband got done... his colesterol is too high.   I feel that I am to blame for that cause I have either not been cooking (eating out a lot) or when I do cook it hasn't been all that super healthy all the time.  A little bit is okay but a lot is NOT! 
Another motivater is my Mom is around the same weight as me now.  She has lost 35 lbs and I should be totally at goal but no... I fussed and frolicked and gained and now we approximately the same.  So I have to kick it in gear before I have a skinny mom and I am left in the dust!
A third motivater is a friend... whom also needs motivation.  Together we are motivating each other and keeping each accountable.  When you are forced to think about it and fess up one tends to do a little better.  :)
4th.. I have attended WW meetings whether I have gained or lost weight.  I have gotten to know many regulars at "my" meeting and they know when things aren't good or I have gone sideways.  They are always trying to cheer me up.. or kick  me in the butt!  We "kick" each other. LOL    A bonus is I have found a good meeting with good people and a good leader.   Thats gotta motivate someone!

So here I am again. I have been tracking for nearly one week and my home scale is showing promising numbers.   I have to admit being at work has been a challenge ( I cook, serve and eat at work).  The menu can have high carb, high fat items... I have been trying to call ahead and find out what I will be making and either bring something from home to substitute or try to scale it down when making it or take much smaller portions... there are many things I can do - sometimes I just save some extra points for the occasion.

Here's to another boost - weight 175 ... goal 145.   Preferably by February 27th, 2011  doable?
