Hello, blog. Long time no see.

I used to love posting here, I’m not sure what happened that I just dropped off from it! It’s not like usual, when I stop posting in my blog about the same time as I stop eating healthy and fall off the wagon. No siree, I’m still keeping up with Weight Watchers and doing my thing, albeit slowly.

Last post: March 16.
Weight as of last WI (March 1): 205.6
Today’s date: April 18.
Weight as of April 12: 200.8.

So it’s been a month and a half and about 5 pounds, which is slow progress. I have conflicting feelings about the speed of all this, since I would obviously love for it to come off faster but then again, I can’t do too much complaining about ANY steady loss. So yeah, I’m losing maybe 1 pound per week, but it’s a steady loss, and that’s certainly something I want to embrace!!

I have my weigh-in tomorrow morning, and as much as it will sadden me to see a gain, I’m still going to go and accept that gain for what it is. I know there’s nothing I can do to avoid that reality. This past week was very stressful… thankfully the source of stress is in the past now and will never return… but the fact remains I used that stress as an excuse to turn to all manners of junk, which I know I could have avoided if I tried. I just got to a point where I stopped trying. Funny thing is, I don’t feel bloated or gross as a result of it. So it really is a mystery what’s going to happen tomorrow morning.

All I know is that no matter what, I’m back OP now and will continue to be, and starting tonight I’ll be back on the exercise wagon as well. I haven’t gotten good exercise in for about a month and a half, and boy do I miss it! I miss the feeling of energy afterwards, I miss the feeling of strengthening muscles, I miss the sense of accomplishment, I miss feeling like I’m doing all I can to get this body healthy. Hopefully a renewed commitment to exercise will really help with the WL, we’ll have to see.

Anyway, I’m hoping to post here more often now, so we’ll see what happens! I’ll be back tomorrow to report on the outcome of my WI.
