About Me:

Hello. I am a wife and a mother of two ~ my son is 15 and my daughter is 8 ~ who works full time in the finance department of a government contracted company. I sure have had my share of bad news over the past year but currently all in all things are looking pretty darn good in my life and I can not even begin to tell you how wonderful it feels to finally be able to say that for a change.

I have successfully lost weight in the past by following the Weight Watchers Momentum plan, exercising regularly, and blogging here faithfully on a daily basis. Throughout the past year, as life took it's twists and turns, I slowly got away from each one of those things. Needless to say I have put on most of the weight that I had worked so hard to take off. I really feel ready to address the weight gain now so I figure why not do what I know works! I plan on going back to following the Momentum plan, adding back that exercise, and of course blogging here more often than never.

I decided to rename my blog "Treating Every Day Like Day One" which is what I started out with way back in the day. I just feel like whenever you start a new plan it is so easy to stay on track for the first day but as the days go on it becomes more and more difficult. I like to try and treat every day like day one. :)

Plan of Choice:

Weight Watchers

Workout Philosophy:

I only exercise because I have to

Take Out Troubles...

Always. Always. Always. It's always the same thing with me. I have no problem at all getting back on track when it comes to the exercise side of things. In fact, I really have no problem at all getting back on track when it comes to the counting points side of things. The problem is that we eat entirely way too much take out which makes it almost impossible to stay within my daily points allowance. And sadly, I just don't see this ever changing. Last week I had such a wonderful week. Then the we… Continue

Very Interesting...

Looks like the issues I was having with my blog yesterday had to do with my internet browser (I always use internet explorer). This morning I tried using mozilla firefox and everything seems to be working fine now. So thanks for everyone's suggestions and for commenting away the past few days even though I couldn't comment on any of your posts and I couldn't approve your comments until today!

So now that everything is working fine, I have updated my profile page with my weigh in results from ye… Continue

A Weigh In And A Complaint

But thankfully, not a complaint about the weigh in. I was down three pounds this week which is very exciting for me. It has been many months since I have seen that number on the scale go down.

Last week was a great transition week for me. I began journaling everything that I ate as well as counting points for what I could. Unfortunately, I was only able to stay within my point range for one day but I hope to make that a priority this week. I also tried to be much more regular on the exercise fr… Continue

Kind Of The Same As Yesterday

Meaning that I successfully got out of bed, got the workout clothes on, and did a three mile workout with seven pound weights instead of snuggling up to the husband. Which, by the way, is what I really wanted to do because I had again slept later than I had planned and would not have enough time to do the original workout I had planned. Maybe I should stop planning. Just kidding! I know that is really a key to success.

Still tracking everything that I am eating, but not really staying within my… Continue

Even Though I Didn't Want To...

I got up out of bed this morning and made myself do a two mile workout with seven pound weights. I was initially planning on doing a four mile workout, but slept too late. When I finally did wake up I totally resisted the urge to say that because I couldn't fit in all four miles today I might as well not workout at all. In all honesty, I am so glad that I pushed through it and got that workout in! Looks like this piece of the puzzle is fitting into place ~ now I just need to work on the eating s… Continue
