I'm ready

I haven't posted on this blog since Chad turned 10. He's still 10, so I guess it's not too bad. ;) As you all probably already know, I am making some major lifestyle changes for 2011. I am starting Weight Watchers. Now, all my friends have been losing weight for a year now, most of them on Weight Watchers, many of them in Walking Club. But I am stubborn. I have to do things in my own time. I pride myself on not being a follower. But now I am ready. I truly feel like Weight Watchers is going to be easy for me because I am ready. I have it in my head that this is it. I am going to lose weight and be healthier. This is day 4 and I have not felt deprived yet. I am noticing how I am eating differently now than when I had no 'rules' and that's good. But I don't miss it, not yet. I'm eating at home, which makes all the difference. I have had one meal out since starting, and that was at Applebee's where they cater to the Weight Watchers community. Honestly, I'd rather eat at home. DID I JUST SAY THAT??? Wow!!

So, that is what's going on in MY life at the moment. And since it is SUCH a big change for me, it will probably consume my life for a while. But that's okay. Because I'm ready. If you want to follow me on my journey of weight loss, I have a separate blog where I will be posting pretty much daily. You can find it here: http://weightimlosingit.blogspot.com
