Stupid Halloween!

So, last Tuesday was my first official weigh in at Weight Watchers, followed by my first meeting. It went rather well. I have lost about 8 lbs in a week! Although, the curses of being a girl....this week is turning out to be a crazy week. I thought I would go out for breakfast with Heidi at IHOP, afterwards I had gone on the computer to find out my country fried steak with eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes was a whopping 38 points! I have a daily allotment of 31 points. While I was eating my breakfast I was trying to be good by  dividing my portions into two servings so I would not be tempted in overeating. It worked out fine, I took the rest of my breakfast home and Bethany enjoyed my leftovers.
Then, I made a rookie mistake in buying Halloween candy....the chocolate kind. Bad, bad, bad idea! I weighed myself this morning and weighed a little more, but its not surprising due to "being a girl" this week.
I'm hoping I can redeem myself tomorrow by eating really clean and hoping to walk a lot with the girls tomorrow night, I really don't want to go to my next weigh in gaining weight instead of losing it.
I will keep you all posted!

About time.....

I don't think Jake and I have anybody really following this blog, not to mention I think the last update was in February, which is just awful!
If anything, I need to be held accountable so I thought I would take the time and get on here and let you know what is new.
In a short phrase....I'm getting fat again! AHhhhhh, I hate it! When Jake was deployed about 3 years ago I had joined a gym, found a personal trainer and lost 40lbs. I was looking good, feeling good, and had so much energy! Then, we moved to GA....off of two dirt roads, no gym, and visited a great Chinese buffet!  Gradually, with that recipe for success, the weight slowly but surely was coming back on.
Now, since Jake has been gone, I have vowed to go back to the gym and start working out and getting back on track. I would have the purest of intentions, but would be sidetracked so quickly.  I then started evaluating myself. I started reading a few books on nutrition and realized I am not a picky eater, I love food. I then realized that I never learned how to eat appropriately. I have always over eaten. I thought maybe I should learn some basics of learning how to eat.  After doing some research, I have decided since last Tuesday to join Weight Watchers. I didn't join lightly, I have been doing a lot of research on the topic. Well, since last Tueday I have already lost 6 lbs! I haven't worked out at all this week, just working on eating well and focusing on that this week, and you know what? I haven't felt deprived at all!
