Vacation is over

Well we arrived safely home from our vacation to Florida last Friday. We had a great time visiting old friends and then we made our way up to Orlando and stayed a couple days at Nick Hotel and visited the Magic Kingdom too. Let's just say when I got home I was not trying to fool myself about how "undiety" I had been on my vacation. But I had hoped the scale would not be so cruel. No such luck, I indulged and then I bulged. I had a great time eating my way through Florida but now that I'm back it's time to get down to business. I've also recruited some people to join me in this struggle. First, my husband has decided to join with me and drop a few L..B...S's as he likes to say. Which I am thrilled about, it is soooo much easier when you do not have to live in a  house divided.  My co-workers have also decided it's time for a change. Last time I lost all my weight I did it with diet, exercise and Alli. I counted every little calorie that went into my skull and every stinkin' minute on that damn treadmill or elliptical machine. It was exhausting in a days time to keep track of all of that! Whew I get tired just thinking about it. This time I am going to try something different that I've never tried before. A friend of mine at work has had fairly decent success with weight watchers and the program as she has explained it to me seems fairly simple. No more of that  exact calorie counting crap!  No more "possibility of loose or oily stools" with Alli. I know, Eww right? Read the label people, it's right there in black and white.  I am going to count points and try to get moving some. I am going to make smart choices and stick to them. If I slip up I will not let it ruin my whole day, I will just get back on track for the next meal. I am excited at the prospects! I am excited to have more energy to be able to enjoy my kids and husband more. I am excited to have more than 4 outfits to wear that "sorta" fit me. More than anything I am excited to get healthy and live a long happy life. My new mantra is.....If Jennifer Hudson can do it, then so can I! LOL Skinny girl is getting feisty again, watch out world when I make up my mind I can be pretty stubborn!
