Okay, so I'm back.
I did HORRIBLY through the summer. I don't know why. What I am focusing on is getting back on track and this is going to be my first step. I'm NOT ready to count points or even give up my favorite junk foods. But I'm hoping by posting my thoughts (and vents) here I might just get into the right mindset. We'll see.
When I was posting here last time, I really appreciated all the nice things people said. But I always felt guilty that I rarely posted back on their threads. So I want to say that I am sorry. I run a daycare in my home and I don't have a lot of time to use the computer. I do read other people's journals I just don't usually post. I'm going to try to do better at that this time.
I weighed myself Monday morning and I had gained about 5 pounds since mid-summer. I'm actually pretty happy with that. It could have been a lot worse! I planned to just be completely on plan with WW starting Monday but that didn't work out. I think I need to go back to meetings to be motivated. I'm not sure I am ready for that. I hate to go back having gained weight. So I am going to try to get that 5 lbs. off within the next 2 weeks and then I am going back no matter what. I'm going to stay aware of my portion size and be certain that I get my daily requirements in. That is my goal for now. Points can come later.
Exercise has been a sore spot for me, literally! About a month ago, I decided to help DS3 learn to do a flip on the rings on our swingset. I tried to do one. A 200lb woman should never try that (lesson learned!). My back is all out of whack. I think I want to go to a chiropracter but I would be too embaressed at this weight. I know that my weight causes extra strain on my body so I wouldn't want anyone to think I was going there to fix problems that I should be taking care of by dieting. Does that make sense? So I'm not sure how much activity I can add at this point. I am walking a little more now that school has started because my DD's school is only 3/4 of a mile from our house. With gas being as expensive as it is, I've been walking her most mornings. She takes the kindergarten bus home though.
So those are my goals. My last goal is to check back in here once a day, whether it be bad or good. Wish me luck!!!
