Finally Found My Stride
Good afternoon!I know, I know, I've been away far too long. I still don't feel like blogging, but have dropped by at the request of many who were wondering if I was still alive and kicking. Well, here's to you, my dear friends:
I have finally broken back into the 160's, thanks to a nasty case of food poisoning 2 weekends ago. I think I had a bad grilled chicken burger at Burger King. In any case, I was sick as a dog for 3 days. I swear I have never seen so much exit my body. I'll spare you the details, but needless to say it was quite the detox. I lost 7 lbs, gained back 2, then managed to lose them again.
Since joining Weight Watchers Online in December 2008, I have lost 13.4 lbs. I track my food and exercise every weekday, saving my points for the weekend. So far things are going great. I exercise 5-6 days per week for at least an hour each day. Eating has been going really well too. I am still struggling a little with my wine intake, but I crave it less now since my illness. I feel like I have finally hit my stride where eating well has become habit and exercise has become a natural part of my daily routine. My energy level is at an all-time high and I truly feel, for the first time EVER, that I can reach my weightloss goal.
My goal for the end of May is 159 lbs. Let's see how that goes...
Thanks for all your support, ladies. It's nice to be missed. Let me remind you that I still keep track of you on Google Reader and Facebook.
Good luck with your journeys!
