WW

I am officially back on track and it feels great!!

I decided to switch up my plan, and go back to Weight Watchers with my mom last Saturday. I have been seeing so many commercials with Jennifer Hudson on it, and she looks great! I had also been seeing where they were offering free registration, and one month free. So, I called my mom, who is a lifetime member and hadn't been for a while, and she said it was fate! They had sent her a card in the mail to come back to the meeting that very same Saturday. And off we went...

It wasn't scary, because I knew I had gained since I left the Weigh Station. Almost two months had gone by, and I had been pretty much eating what I wanted again and starting to notice my clothes getting tighter. It was definitely time to take action. I stepped on the scale, and I had gained 11 lbs. in just 2 months. Not too bad, but not great either. Mom, on the other hand had done really well, only 14 lbs. in almost a year, wow, go MOM!!!

So, we are both doing great this week, tracking our points, and making healthier conscious choices. We are walking in the afternoons, so far we haven't had the chance to walk together, but I may call her tonight and see if she wants to. I have been staying at work pretty late in the evenings, but it has given me a chance to focus on myself when I get home, and I feel like I am in CONTROL again! And, that's really what it's all about for me. I am a control freak, I get it, and I own it!

After WW, we had a total girls day, and I loved it! We got groceries, bought new bedding and curtains for her room, enjoyed two healthy meals out, bought some fall decorations, and went to Bath and Body Works and used some awesome coupons!

Every day I wake up I tell myself I am skinny, and I have noticed a change in my outlook this week, and my pants are feeling a little looser already. Whatever the loss is, I know it will be a success for me because it's a loss!

So, here it is world, 3 years since I started trying to lose this weight, and I am still going. But, my mom said something to me that I didn't even think about before. She said "just imagine how big you would be if you hadn't done something about this when you did, and at least stayed conscious of it this whole time. You might not even be here."

And, what would the world be without this Michelle?? I dare not to dream...
