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!
