I have been going to Weight Watchers for 2 months and I am proud to say that I have lost 8 lbs. I know that it doesn't sound like a lot, but I am proud of what I have accomplished. In those 2 months I didn't gorge myself in Halloween candy, I didn't blow it during Thanksgiving and I went to Texas not overeating.
I have set some short and long term goals for myself.
Short term to lose 3 more pounds before the end of the new year.
Then my next short term goal is to be ??? by Jim and I's anniversary in March 21st. (Sorry I am not yet comfortable telling the whole world)
Long term goal is by my birthday to be at 1?? ! I have decided that when I get to my goal I am going to take all-and I mean all-of my clothes to the Caring Center and I am buying a new wardrobe. I can't tell you the last time I went clothes shopping for myself. I know that it has been at least 3 years ago.
I have never felt this motivated before. I can truly see progress. I have been also keeping a measurement journal and I have lost a couple of inches as well. I am surprise that I am staying on track even though it is holiday time. The one thing I am struggling with is exercise. I just dislike this time of year. I don't like the cold weather and how early it gets dark. I really miss walking at night. I have tried to get up earlier and exercise with the FIRM videos but I can't get out of bed. I hate that this time of year has this control over me.
WARNING TMI
So one more thing I am hoping that comes with this weight loss is my periods. I haven't had a period in a year and a half and that one was induced. I noticed some crapping, so maybe it is on its way! I know I am weird that I get excited when Mother Nature comes calling. I have this crazy fantasy that I will lose this weight and get pregnant. That would be a dream come true.
Well I hope that everyone has a terrific week. And if I don't blog before Christmas, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I hope your dream comes true, too. Remember, even if you think you've blown it and the change in your life/diet/exercise is over, you can always do the NEXT right thing. (its my favorite advice to give myself!)
Hey Kim its Amy..Just wanted to say-You Go! I know you can do this just remember winter won't last forever. I am so proud of you! By the way I finally got on board with the whole "Live Like No One Else" can't remember the name of the book. Thanks to the both of you for sharing it with us.
