Back in the Saddle

So frustrating.

Late last spring I was doing well and in a healthy groove.  Then our family began a two-month-long moving process after buying our home and I let everything fall apart.  At first I was doing so much physical work that I was still losing weight.  But I stopped keeping track of what I ate and how much exertion I was doing.  As the move became increasingly chaotic, I turned to convenience and comfort foods.  Downward spiral.

The good news is that I joined Weight Watchers yesterday.  I love TOPS and it is certainly cheaper, but there are no daytime meetings in my town.  My husband's work schedule changes enough that I kept getting bumped from attending but it was also such a struggle to get myself to the next town at suppertime.  I arrived at meetings flustered from getting my family's meal on the table and starving to boot because who wants to eat right before a weigh-in?!  The meetings were also fairly long and dragging.  I hope WW will mean less obstacles to overcome.

At present, our family is snowed in (or soon will be).  The guys are downstairs watching the Olympics while I read through the WW literature.  I'm not sure I shopped well enough to be ready to jump into this.  But I have to stop waiting until the conditions are "right."  Let's face it.  The "conditions" really mean enthusiasm and motivation.  I have to find that within myself regardless of what is happening around me.

Wish me luck!
