A New Year

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a year since I was here. A lot has happened in the last year. The real reason I'm here is because I feel the blog really helped me get to my goal. If you haven't guessed it, I've drifted from my goal. Since that time, life has happened and I've had a hard time trying to balance everything. I'm now working part time, which some weeks is full time. I no longer have the 2.5 hours to workout Monday through Friday since the little one is in 1st grade vs. preschool. I have the littlest one still home this year and I'm really trying to enjoy this since she is the last. :( So, trying to balance life, workouts and family/house is not easy and almost 2 years later I'm still struggling. I'm sure it may sound crazy to kind of restart now before the new year, but why not. I'm going to try and get a pic of my starting weight and possibly a body shot as a starting point. It may not happen this week since the kids are home on break, but we'll see. I know this number is going to scare me. And probably be almost if not higher that my first starting weight. But I want to get back down and I want to start now! As far as how low will I go? My original WW goal was pretty low. Looking back, I'm not sure I can maintain that w/o working out 5 days a week for over two hours. So I'm just going to have to see. Now about my starting weight, it is higher because of the holiday. But the past 2 years I've been in the healthy range each month for weigh in. I have been reminding myself that I am still in WW's "healthy range" for my height, which is good and required to be an employee. (Employees are required to weigh in each month and be in the healthy range for your height.) However, I want to be lower. I want to wear my smaller jeans. So, I'm starting today. I will track. And I'm going to try and get a couple workouts in before the end of the week. Ready! Set! Go!
