Return to Exercise

Well, last evening I swore to myself that I would exercise. It sure is hard getting in gear after all that time off. I did a 45 minute exercise video and I was ready to fall over by the time I completed it - but I did it. I keep telling myself to push forward through this first week because it is the roughest and I know the great feeling that is in store for me once I get over this hump. I keep thinking about how great and energized I used to feel after exercise and the excitement of seeing the scale go down. I know how good eating right and exercise can make me feel and I so badly want to be there again. I must keep pushing forward, one day at a time, until the feeling returns.

This morning I saw a drop on the scale. I weighed in at 235.6

A New Stage in My Life

Alot has happend since I've been here last.  The biggest one being that I'm now officially an "empty nester". My DD/best friend has flown the coop to move in with her BF. I think this is especially hard since I am single. I have been doing alot of emotional eating and have gained alot of weight since I've last been here.  (I weighed in at 237.4 this morning.) So that means that I've gained back all but 5 pounds of the 63 that I lost.

I've realized that this is a new stage in my life and it's time to get my ass in gear and create a life for myself which means losing weight, getting healthier, embracing my new freedom and getting out of the house more.  I've also realized that when I did the best losing weight is when I blogged. So here I am. Again.
