I haven’t blogged in a while.
Truth be told I bit off a bit more than I could chew this
Spring. I was working on a second master’s degree, planning a semi formal for
one organization and an open house for another. All while trying to maintain a
social life. Long story short, I wore myself down and made myself sick. Like
really, really sick. It took me nearly six weeks before I started feeling like
myself again.
But now I’m back and feeling well! In fact, I feel better
than I have in a really long time and it’s time to let y’all in on the secret
to my new well being…. Weight Watchers.
I’ve been following the program since March and I wish I
felt like blogging about it before now because the difference it has made in my
life is huge! To date, I have lost more than 15 pounds and I feel great. I went
to the gym last night and did three miles on the elliptical! Can you believe
that? Me! The Couch Potato!
I've wanted to lose weight for a while. Not for vanity reasons, but for health reasons. I've been suffering from Type II diabetes for a few years now and several members of my family are experiencing even worse health problems caused from being overweight. It's time for me to get myself healthy!
Eating better and exercising more has got me feeling less
tired, way less stressed and so much more happy. I know I have a loooong way to
go on this program, but I am excited to take the journey and bring you all
along! I’ll try to post more frequently and keep an update on my progress. Wish
me luck everybody!
By the way, in my absence I've been working with some friends on a second blog, Horizontal Stripes. It's a fun little blog to help women of size find self-acceptance no matter their size. Check it out here!
