So it’s been about 2 weeks now since I started on my path to thinness.  I have tried a number of things.  I have gone to the gym alone a couple of times and with a family memeber a few times.  I purchased and played Dance Dance Revolution Ultimate Party (or whatever the new one is called).  I broke my leg trying to rollerblade with my dog for exercise, and now I walk around my home and office everyday on crutches and lift ankle weights a couple times a week at night.To date, I have lost 9 pounds.  The main change I have made is to double my water intake daily to about 3 bottles a day as opposed to maybe one that I used to drink before, if i was lucky.  I have also changed what I eat.  I signed up for Weight Watchers online.  It’s $16.95 a month and $29.95 joining fee. 

I don’t eat breakfast cause I am just not much of a morning person.  I can’t seem to motivate so early very well.  I drink about 3 cups or maybe 4 of coffe before noon at which point I usually go out to lunch with Steve.  For lunch I eat everything from spaghetti, a subway sandwich, pizza, to mexican (my favorite)! For dinner I finish off with a “Smart Ones” lasagna usually but I also have tried the pot roast and sweet and sour chicken.  That leaves me a few points for dessert, which I have really taken to the Weight Watcher Ice Cream Candy Bars.  It’s kinda like a dummed down Snickers Ice Cream Bar.  Then I usually have a cup of tea or two (I like it black) and then off to bed.

I was really bummed out about the broken leg but the walking on crutches has helped a bit in the exercise department.  I have one more week of the crutches and then hopefully the Dr. will say I can just use the walking cast, that would be nice.  At any rate so far, I am losing weight at a fairly steady pace.  I have about 20 pounds left to go but at least I am a little happier in my skin in the meantime.

I did Weight Watchers a couple of years back and lost 17 pounds.  Man that felt great, but I still did not meet my total goal that time.  I really plan on taking it all the way this time baby, afterall, I’m only getting older and soon if I don’t get close to the goal now while I am still young enough it will too difficult to maintain it as I get older.  Especially if I keep breaking bones! LOL!

In a couple of weeks I know I will get tired of the Smart Ones meals.  By then, I hope to lose about 10 more pounds.  Then I will just try to monitor my food intake by using the point system on regular foods and recipes that I make.  It will also be easier to do this once the leg is healed.  So I may actually have a month of Smart Ones.  By the end of June I hope to have lost a total of 17 pounds that is my little mini goal.  Then after that point I’ll set another goal.  If I did lose 17 total by June 30th I would only have 15 pounds to go (maybe a little more depending on what I feel like I look like at that point).

Once the leg is healed and I can really throw the exercise back into it things will start moving along a lot more quickly (I hope).  It would be excellent to spend this August at my ideal weight.  What a dream come true!
