Back Again!!!
Hopefully success is measured by how many time you get up, not how many times you fall down. So I am back again. I have had a crazy good year. After not working for almost 2 years, I went back to work this year. I was only expecting to work for a few months and we have been going strong ever since. I'm so thankful to be working again. It's a true blessing. I am still working on my masters. I slowed down so that I could work full time. I have 3 more semesters to go. YAY!! But with working full time, school and my other activities, I started eating bad and stopped working out. As a result I have put on 30 extra pounds :o(. So I am back to Weight Watchers. I'm doing the online one, but I probably need to go into a center. I am inspired by Jennifer Hudson. She looks amazing. I want to look amazing too.
I am also motivated by somethings that have happened in my life. This summer a good friend of mine died suddenly from cancer. She went to the doctor for fatigue and found out that she had cancer. It was so unexpected and she had a teenage son. It was a rough time. The next thing just happened. A friend of mine, that I have known for years, husband died Tuesday of a heart attack. He was home from work because he wasn't feeling well and had a heart attack. They both are overweight, well obese. I'm sure that had a lot to do with his heart attack. I am not ready to give up on my life just yet. I need to fight back and win this war over food. I love fried food and mostly potatoes. It time to get on the healthy track again. The thing is I like cooking and enjoy healthy green veggie, it is just easier to stop in the drive thru. But I am committed this time to live a healthly lifestyle. My journey starts again. I'm glad to be back here with others who understand. I promise journal more. Happy 2011!!! I'm ready!!
