I'm BAAAAAAAACK

I've decided that 2013 is going to be a year of changes for me. I'm physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted beyond belief- but it's not time to give up.

I've researched plan among plan, on how I am going to lose weight (mind you since the summer at about 211, I've gained 25 pounds give or take... and I feel absolutely horrible). I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been in my life, and I am completely miserable. My legs hurt, my back aches, none of my clothes fit at all. I look huge. I spend everyday of my life in scrubs or sweat pants and t-shirts. The best thing for me to do is to commit to weight watchers. I've compared so many plans, and tried so many things- that weight watchers is the closest to the good ol' fashioned food pyramid, but with a little extra umph! So as of January 1st, 2013- Weight Watchers tracking it is. I think it's the best option for me because I love food, and as much as I try- I can't completely restrict myself from carbs and things i love. At least this way, I can still eat some of the things I enjoy but in moderation. *portion control* is a big one for me... I need to cut back on the seconds and thirds and desserts made for 2 for just me!

I've now been on weight watchers 360 program for 4 days and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm eating healthier but still eating what I like to eat in moderation. I look at low carb diets and think of how I love the better and I see all the recipes that look and sound delicious, but for me- I have to do it the old fashioned way. I really don't eat sweets. I've been sticking to sweet fruits to help with my sweet tooth, and an occasion bowl of honey nut cherrios- it hits the spot!

I put together a Biggest Loser competition among my friends and I- we all put in 20 bucks and who ever loses the most percentage of weight by the end of March wins the prize- It's motivating... it makes you want to push harder when people are bragging about the pounds their losing.

I'm still working on getting myself into exercise mode, but I just can't get with it this week! It drives me nuts. I have to start forcing myself.
