I Took The Plunge

I would say most of my adult life I have battled the bulge. Especially after having babies. Instead of the elusive 10 pounds that will never go away, mine is the elusive 20-30 pounds. Last year I upped my exercise routine by joining Jazzercize and truly loved it. I know I lost some inches but any real weight. Because of our busy schedule it has become very hard to travel out to Jazz 3-4 times a week so for the past 6-8 weeks no Jazz just walking. Well because of my age and slowing down a bit I am literally putting on 1 pound a week and that has just got to stop. Also my daughter is not into exercising and loves to eat. I want to make a good impression in front of her and hope to start leading her down a healthy road. Here's the big announcement:

I joined Weight Watchers today!!!!!!!!!

This is a biggy for me. I need to get my eating under control. My biggest food culprits is chocolate, cookies, and fast food. I am using the online version of Weight Watchers Point Plus System. It is great that it will keep track of everything for me. My current weight is 175 with a height of only 5 feet and 1 inch. By there standards I should be down to about 136, but realistically I put my goal at 155. If I can reach 155 then I might try to go lower. Lots depends on how everything works out. I have no desire to be skinny, just healthy and able to fit back in to most of my clothing. Let's face it,  to lose 25 pounds is a big deal. 

So if my readers will please pray for me, that I can stay the course and have the will power to stay away from those pesky foods that are not good for me. I online program tracks my weight loss for me but every once in a while I might get on here too and do some tracking of my own.
