Back at it...day 1

I've decided I must change my eating habits! I've been eating too freely lately and am starting to get what I affectionately call a "fat ass", well not really, but I can tell my jeans just aren't fitting the way the did a few months earlier and I hate the "flab" hanging over the top of them. Blech! After losing almost 25 pounds from May-September of last year, I KNOW I can do this! So this morning I rejoined Weightwatchers.com and hopefully blogging EVERY day! We will see how it goes. Maybe if I post my food journal, that will help me out a little! Should be interesting with the upcoming Holiday!



Weight as of this morning: 159.6 pounds

Goal weight 145 pounds by August 1st.

I'm alloted 24 points per day with 36 flex points for the week.

Wish me luck!

Goal for tomorrow: Stay within my 24 points. Drink lots of water and get out and exercise. It's awful cloudy/rainy here today. Maybe after I get the kids to bed I can hit the elliptical downstairs or at least the weight machine.
