I have been trying to figure out which design I want to use for this blog and so have been changing the background to determine which one is the most appealing to me.  This will do for now - but I may decide to change again.  :p

As I noted in my last post - I did go back to Weight Watchers, but not Tuesday night - I went back this morning at 8:30 a.m.  I have now committed to getting up early every Saturday and attend meetings with two other women.  Hallelujah!  

Tuesday I had the best intentions - but I had a headache by the time I got home and was just not in the mood to go and get weighed.  Just like the Y - I have been having trouble going back to the Weight Watchers.  I have been upset that I have had to go back and have “failed” in m attempt to lose weight. 

Last night I attended a monthly Bunco game that I have joined and at the end of the evening two of the women there began talking about Weight Watchers.  We are all three members of the YMCA and all three have the desire to get back into shape.  We also all three wanted to go back to Weight Watchers, but needed some help getting there.  Before leaving the game last night we decided together to meet and attend the 8:30 meeting together.  And we did.  Then we went to the Y and I did 35 minutes on the treadmill.  Not great, but a start.  And that is what today is - a start. 

I have started tracking my food again and am so thankful to be back at meetings where ideas for food flow freely.  I am glad to be back at meetings that are lively, supportive, and engaging.  I am excited for this journal and to track here my progress.

My goal for the week beginning 6/20/09: To follow as closely as I can the healthy guidelines, to stay within my points, and to go to the gym 5 times this week.  I think I can do it.

I have posted my goal for the total amount of weight I want to lose, but like WW does it I want to break that down into 10% mini-goals (10% of the total loss) - otherwise this could just began to feel overwhelming.  ;)

Due to the busy morning I was not able to eat until nearly 1:00 today - so I have 17.5 points left to eat.  Which is ridiculous, kind of.  

More tomorrow - hope everyone is having a good Saturday!
