A new start!

Well I did great in January then I slacked off and have been ever since.  I'll workout from time-to-time and I'll eat okay, but overall things have really gone downhill these past few months.  I've gained back a lot of the weight I lost and I've been feeling out of sorts and just icky.  Still haven't been sick, but just irritable and yuck feeling.  So I decided last weekend it's time to focus on weight loss and becoming healthy again.  This time I am serious. 

Why am I serious - well I joined Weight Watchers on Tuesday - no more playing around - now I'm paying to lose weight and since I don't have a lot of blow money, I'm not going to blow it  by not losing weight.  So I had my first meeting and enjoyed that.  Bought the organizer pack and love the Points guides.  I also bought some of the chocolate smoothies and love them.  I mainly bought them to get a milk serving in since I really don't like to drink milk.  I am going to try and follow the plan to the letter.

Tuesday night was my first challenge.  DH had a meeting and those nights I usually throw me a Totino's pizza in the oven and eat the whole thing (it's the small type pizza, but still too much to eat at once - I think it's about 17 points).  I didn't eat it, instead I made me a sandwich, some 2 point soup and a salad.  It was good too.

Yesterday I managed to get in all my water, all five servings of veggies/fruits and my 2 servings of milk.  I even used just my points and activity points for the day, I didn't go into the flex points we can use for the week.  I did use 3 of them on Tuesday.

Today is going well, I just have to see how much of the supper I plan on making I can eat.  But if I plan it ahead of time I will do fine.

I'm also already planning on Sunday's lunch meal - we always go out for Mother's Day with my parents and we're either going to Ruby Tuesday's or Texas Steakhouse and I've been looking at their nutrition information to see what I can eat and enjoy.  I do know I will never eat the sandwich I use to eat at Ruby Tuesday's again - I think it was like 900 calories and a lot of fat!  Oh my gosh - the things you learn when you take the time to study nutrition information.

I have also been working out and have worked out each morning since Tuesday. 

Tuesday I did the 2nd mile in Leslie's 5-mile advance walk (the 10-minute mile)

Tuesday night I did the Thighs section of Denise Austin's Hit the Spot Pilates and the first session of Yoga for Flexibility.

Wednesday I did the Foundation workout of Kathy Smith's Project You.

Wednesday night I did the Abs section of DA's Hit the Spot Pilates and the second session of Yoga for Flexibility

This morning I did Sara Ivanhoe's 20-minute Yoga Makeover - Power Beauty Sweat.  I had planned to go to Lady of America Fitness Center this afternoon as a break from work and use the treadmill, but DS#2 is home sick so I won't make it.  I will probably do some type of video this afternoon when he goes down for a nap.

That's the other big thing - I've joined our local Lady of America Fitness Center with a 1-month trial membership to see how much I will go.  I fell in love with the place yesterday and can't wait to workout the first time.  We'll see how it goes, but I'm hoping to do at least one class a week in addition to using the machines.  As soon as I confirm I am joining I get a free personal training session to set me up a workout plan and I can't wait to do that.

Okay the baby is fussing and needs cuddling - this tummy bug is really bad on him.  I'll start posting my eating and workouts soon!
