Here we go again

A couple years ago D and I went on this "healthy eating" deal with a local naturopath. We were SOOOOO successful! I lost like 50ish pounds on it (plus the 20ish I'd lost before hand), and D lost like 60ish. Well, we went off "plan" and got back into old bad habits and...I've gained back all of mine, plus some, and D has only put on about half of his (yeah for him!).

This school year, as I've mentioned, has been more stressful than almost any in the past many years, 50 pounds stressful (I attribute about 40 of those to one family in particular...). SO, as the year is winding down, it's only fitting that I begin to look to the future with a new healthy outlook.

SO - tonite Mom and I are attending our first Weight Watchers' meeting (of this time...we've done WW before, with great success I might add). Mom has the opposite problem that I do - she doesn't eat enough and doesn't eat the right stuff (well, I have that part too, but rarely the not eating enough). Weight Watchers FORCES her to eat enough each day, which she so needs, and FORCES me to make choices of what I eat each day, also much needed.

I have been hesitant to rejoin a "program" as I know what I need to do (apparently diet and exercise DO work...who knew???), but I think it's time. SO, with that, we are off to our first meeting.

After the meeting we will be hitting Target, REI, and Red Robin for dinner...hell, we can start counting POINTS tomorrow! :P
