Getting Back on Track

As you know, you haven't seen me here for a while. I visit, but have been silent. The last few months have not been good for me as far as watching what I eat and exercising. Therefore the pounds have gradually gone up.

However, I am doing better!!! A and I are working on it together and the scales this morning said that I had lost 5 pounds this first week. (Don't you love 1st weeks!!) I still have several to go before I reach my low spot again, but at least I am going in the right direction!!! :) That is a very happy thing!! Making that turn around has been really difficult for me.

I think a huge factor in my success is getting a little more sleep. That and really watching what I put into my mouth and writing everything down. I keep being surprised at how it adds up by the end of the day. Writing it down as I go really keeps me aware of what I have already eaten.

Glad to see that D and K are doing well and moving in the right direction too!! Glad that the 4th wasn't too hard on you D. How about you K? I actually did really well. I lost 1 lb!! For a holiday weekend, that never happens for me!!! :) I am pleased.
