Not There Yet

Did not make it to WW yesterday.

Between hubby working late (the meeting was in the evening) and the hot and humid weather, I dropped the ball. There is another meeting this Wednesday evening and I am definitely going to get there. NO MORE EXCUSES!

It is hot and humid in the Northeast. We have window A/C's, yet it doesn't quite cut it. As I age, I find the humidity lowers my desire to get things done. I feel like a wilted flower. I function best when it's cool outside and in. The fall, winter and spring times are my favorite seasons. Most of my friends say that summer time is their favorite time of the year. Not for this chick.

On the upside, I did go to the gym and worked out. I love the strength and conditioning class. Always feel a tad stronger afterwards. Tonight is another favorite class, Pilates. Between the strength class and pilates, I feel taller and stronger....yet not thinner...sigh. Must get to WW for that!

Monday Weigh In


Today is the day. I am a 47 year old gal who is tired of feeling out of shape, and 15 pounds overweight.

I am going to Weight Watchers www.weightwatchers.com tonight. I went a few years back and cried when I saw the number on the scale.

How did this happen? I know the answer....too much vino drank during the 'witching hour' of raising kids while preparing nutritious meals. Not to mention, dealing with a anxiety ridden hubby. I became 'Julia Child' of my kitchen. Some wine for the pot and a glass for the cook (or 2-3!)

So this is the day. I am beginning by going to the gym for a solid workout. I am going to eat a little healthier today.
