A Ladybug's Journey

I've fallen off of the wagon for the past few months. It all started when my sister came to visit, and we went on a road trip.  It was KFC, Taco Bell, Burgers, Donuts, etc. while she was here.  During that long weekend I didn't track my points.  From there, I stopped pre-planning my dinners for the week, then stopped tracking my days regularly, then just stopped all together.  It didn't happen overnight, or even over a week... it took four months.  Slowly during that time things made their way back into the house... chips, ice cream, little debbie snacks... popcorn toppings - do you know that I've never had popcorn toppings before now??? Summer has hit, and I am going outside, doing yard work, riding my new bike, but my weight is not dropping, nor are my inches.

This afternoon I did it.  I joined weight watchers, just like I said I would.  I joined online, bought a monthly pass.  I'll be going to my first meeting tomorrow morning, having my first weigh in.  I'll update my starting weight, since the weight watchers weigh ins will be my 'official' scale.  Also, I'll only be weighing myself at those weekly weigh ins. Jessy says that he's going to join Weight Watchers with me, but online.  He doesn't want to go to the meetings.  That's okay.  I know that I need the meetings, and I'm doing this for me, not anyone else. Mom is going to start on a sample dress for me soon.  It's going to be a sample of my wedding dress, in a less expensive fabric and in a larger size.  It's going to be something for me to work on getting into, and then for us to see if there's anything that I don't like about the style or anything else.  I think having that here, to look at every day, will be a huge motivator ...
