A New Day....A New Diet!

I hate diets! Up until recently, I never had to worry with them!!!! It sucks getting old! I started Monday. I thought with the summer drawing to a close...it is time.

As most of you know, I did really well at the end of last year and lost 20 lbs. It was great. I was exercising and things were going well....and then it hit. I got a new job in January and as is the case with most new jobs...I was not comfortable right away...and when I am stressed I eat and sleep. So I of course have now gained all the weight back.

Well, I am upset that the pants I bought in the early part of the year do not fit....and I refuse to buy new ones...so I am back on the low calorie and exercise diet. The good thing about my metabolism is that after I lose the weight, I can eat normally provided I continue to exercise (which I hate...it is not fun for me)....so this time I will have to continue to exercise!

My goal is to lose about 20 lbs before October 20th. Why October 20th...I am meeting Shan in Dallas for her birthday present...we are going to watch Wicked! I can't wait. We are also staying with Stacy....we always have a great time together. I really want to be able to wear the pants I bought early this year....so that is my goal....the goal that follows that is to keep exercising and keep the weight off....because diets suck!!

I tell you this not because you care...but because if I make it public knowledge...then maybe that will give me the motivation I need to follow through.

I was searching our Health and Wellness site here at work today and began debating on whether or not to sign up for Weight Watchers Online. What do you think?? Maybe we can organize a weight loss competition as a group. Would have to disclose our weights but I have no problem with that. "Ain't got no shame" HAHA.

Sounds good to me...but I am not going to pay for weight watchers. Though I know several people who have used it and the points system works if you use it. I would love a competition because I hate to lose! Good motivation!!!
