NEW ATTITUDE!!

Okay seriously! How many weeks since I posted last?? PATHETIC! I just got swamped with 3 weekends in a row of guests in town and then I was a choreographer in our ward roadshow which meant my free-time was totally gobbled and between that and rotating sick in my family I have been totally off the map. I also have been on a crazy chub train - I'M SO MAD!! In just a few weeks my recent progress was totally buried in a heap of baked goods and superfluous snacks. I've been scared to weigh myself since I stepped on a few weeks ago and saw a 157 staring back at me - so bummed I seriously wanted to run away and pretend it wasn't happening. Of course, I have continued working out, that's not my problem as we have previously discussed. For me, it's about diet, that's what wrecks my scene and leaves me feeling really uncomfortable in my clothes, it's just so hard for me!! Not that it's harder for me than anyone else, it just feels like it is (boooh-hoooo). Since I moved to Fountain Valley one year ago I've gained 10 pounds! It totally bums me out to see the pictures from one year ago at this time. But I'm not going to wither in the sadness of my less attractive reflection!!

So that brings us to today - I woke up feeling pretty good, new energy, ready to make a change. I know it's going to be hard, but I'm going to weigh and measure tomorrow and start a new program of keeping my portions small, my snacks smart, nothing unaccounted for. I was so happy to hear from a number of you that felt deserted when I dropped off the blogosphere planet into space. Amy, Farrah, Natasha, Megan, Julia - I'm HERE FOR YOU AGAIN!! Let's get back on the train together.

These are my goals this week:

1. Go to the gym at least one hour this week (I usually do home workouts but working out at the gym I get a better workout FOR SURE)
2. Must have low calorie desserts until Friday - and then only if I've been good all week I can have a scoop of legit ice-cream.
3. Track my eating each day (this is so hard for me right now because I cannot have a computer open if Afton is awake, it's just impossible, so have to track when she naps, which is my workout, shower, get ready and eat lunch time!)

Where are you at ladies? How are you doing? Jules, sounds like your job has you frustrated and the stress it making you eat. Natasha sounds like you're totally making progress and looking really hot....at least that's the word on the street. Farrah, sounds like you went on a little bender after the infomercial thing fizzed out then got crazy sick...what's the status? I would love your feedback ladies - believe me, I can't do this alone!
