Forever

So, I have not been on here in forever. LJ and I still try and hold one another accountable, but clearly blogging did not work for us over the last few months. My discouragement in not getting on was that I was not sticking to anything and was so depressed about my marriage ending. Then one week in January, I decided that enough was enough. I decided on January 20th that I would join weight watchers. It has been thus far the best decision that I have made. Getting on the scale has really held me accountable and the leader is really motivating. I have done weight watchers in the past and have had some success, but have not stuck it out for the long haul. I am praying and really asking the Lord to help me really stick it out. I have not told sweet LJ that I have joined and am going to randomly mention one day to LJ that she should check the blog. I think that I will mention it to her when I am two months in.
So, on January 20th when I started, I weighed in at 201.2 pounds. I was right were I had started so many months ago with LJ. It was so discouraging! But in just three weeks, I am down ten pounds and have lost 5% of my weight which was my first short term goal. My next short term goal is to lose another ten pounds (10% of my weight) by my daughter's third birthday. Her birthday is March 11th so that gave me just a little over a month to do that. Wish me luck!
Today is four weeks in and I get weighed tonight. I am hoping that I lost at least 2lbs and am down in the 180s. I will get on tomorrow and let everyone know how I did at the scales (if you all have not given up on the blog).
