Here We Weigh Again...

About a week and a half ago, I re-joined Weight Watcher's. I stopped going right before our vacation to Myrtle Beach last year because of time & money... I lacked both!! HAHAHA

Nobody really reads this blog, probably because I don't post very often, but if you read my original blog Mommy Princess, then you know I'm going on a cruise, in, oh, about 4 weeks now!! (WOOHOO!!) And, no, I did not join WW's right now because I think I'm gonna lose 100lbs in 4 weeks!! My sister Chelle said it best, "You've got to start sometime." So, why wait 'til after the cruise?' Why not start NOW?!!? So, I did.

WI Week 1: -6.8

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!! Can I say, I haven't had that great of a first WI @ WW's, like, um, NEVER? I started WATP's again, the same week, because I know that for my body type (PCOS) exercise is KEY. I forgot how GOOD it feels to exercise. Weird, I know, I have NEVER said that about exercising before. But the benefits are SO worth it. And, I will have more endurance on the cruise!! :)

Chelle (my little sister) and I have started the book "Lose It For Life." I never finished it last year. I started homeschooling got busy after vacation & haven't read anything, really, if it didn't pertain to lesson planning. But, no more. ;) We're meeting on Mondays, kids or no kids, to keep each other accountable to reading & doing the homework...maybe talk through it, maybe not, we're gonna let it run its course & see how it goes. But, we have accountability to do the work.

That brings us BACK to WW's. Accountability is really priceless for me. Someone at that scale, having to look me in the eye, it really does a lot more for me, and knowing that I'm weighing in is a motivator to stay on trak. Not all the time, but the majority of the time, anyway :)

OK, so here's to The Persistent Mommy Princess... Maybe THAT's what this blog should be called!! :)
