It's about damn time!
I'm finally back... for real!
I got back on Jenny Craig and have stayed on plan today, the last day of 2008. (Apparently, my post will be dated according to Barcelona time, but it's still 2008 here in Texas...)
I'm sitting here at 9:45 PM and I am HUNGRY. My stomach is growling and all that, but I'm just going to let it fuss. I've been eating piggily for 6 months and doubly piggily for the past two weeks. The hunger pangs are just letting me know that I've eaten what I should have today, not double that amount.
Tomorrow's the first day of 2009 and, if I'm guessing right, I'll start the year off about 10 pounds heavier than this time last year. . . .which, all things considered, ain't too bad. The fact that I've caught the weight gain before getting back up to my all-time high is, in itself, progress. So, we'll leave it at that. 
On the fitness front, a new gym is opening near my house and I've joined. I'm not quite sure what day they open up, but it will be in January. In the meantime, I've found something that's surprisingly fun. My sister got my children the Wii Outdoor Challenge game and we spent Christmas day playing it as a family. Let me tell you, folks - it CAN get the heartrate pumping! It was a lot of fun and I may even buy myself the Wii Fit and Jillian Micheals' Fitness Ultimatum. It won't be the core of my fitness routine, but it could be something I use to give myself a bit of variety. We'll see...
Have a healthy, happy, and lighter 2009, everyone!!
