My weight is up, as I knew it would be. I am feeling better today. I got myself rehydrated over the weekend and so far no one else has shown any signs of having that nasty bug. It can just stay that way as far as I am concerned!

 

I joined Weight Watchers this morning. I just made the decision over the weekend that I would do it. The program will help me focus on proper portions, which is something I struggle with and have...well, forever. I've spent the last hour checking out their site and I am really looking forward to tracking my food progress so that I know what areas of my diet are good and then get help with the areas that are bad. Another step in the right direction.

 

I watched an episode of Ruby last night. That woman really is an inspiration. I saw a couple of the first shows, when she was at her heaviest. I admire her for going on national television for the duration of her journey. I couldn't do it! She has lost a lot of weight so far and I think she looks amazing now, even though she still has some work to do. Its a clear case of "if she can do it, I can do it!" I mean, I am not facing the health challenges that she was and if she can make this kind of progress with those challenges, there is no reason why I can't do the same. It was inspiring to see that this really is possible, I just have to put a little work into it.

 

I am off to move the treadmill to a new location so that it is kind of in my face every day and I will have to get on it. Its back in a corner right now and its easy to forget that its there...another step in the right direction.
