Here we go again!

 Rededicating myself again today. Got out my treadmill started using MyFitnessPal again Just got to get it together again! 
Lots going on the last two years. Last year I lost my job of 18 years. My company sold our division to someone else who moved it all to California from New Hampshire where we were based. Got a compression fracture on my T12 vertebrae. Which took nearly a year to heal. The first several months were extremely painful. I could not exercise . That happened last May. I went back to work in September. Worked there for 8 months as a temp. Had to quit for rotator cuff surgery on my right arm. That was 3 weeks ago. It's feeling better now but still have three more weeks to wear this stupid sling then intensive physical therapy several months to follow. Doctor said I would be out of work for three or more months. Since I was a temporary worker there I will not get any compensation. Luckily though my husband has excellent health insurance so that was not an issue. So things have been a little bit in turmoil for me and I have drowned my sorrows in food.  Losing a job, having to find a new job, starting a new job, painful back injury and now surgery. But I guess I need to drag myself out of this slump I'm in and get back to taking care of myself as far as my weight loss is concerned. So here I go again. Starting out at 195 lbs and really need to see a lot lower numbers on my scale in the near future. Got to make this happen.

I'm Back!!!...again

Boy, I can't believe I haven't blogged since July.  Been a real slacker.  Vacationing, cookouts, kids home from school. Just enjoying the Summer.  Haven't been the best dieter all Summer but haven't really gained all that much.  I'm holding steady.  Been doing a lot of walking but haven't logged it on my ticker but will start doing that again as I have to make my 500 miles as promised.  I probably am a lot closer to it than I think because like I said I just didn't keep track.  I was a rebel all Summer but now I have to be a good girl and start taking better care of me again.  No more distraction as my son is now back at school and I have much more time to concentrate on just me.  Gonna feel good to get back to a routine.  I'm gonna be in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 2nd.  It's a 5K and should be a piece of cake but I am gonna train for it anyway. Don't want to get to confident and then find out I am pooped half way through.  I did it last year with no problems though so I'm not too worried.  Well off to bed now. 
Take care fellow bloggers!!!

I'm Back!!!

I've been on a diet break for nearly 3 months now.  I thought I could handle not going to W/Ws meeting and do this by myself...Well I WAS WRONG!!!!  I have gained back all but .6 of what I lost since last October when I started W/Ws.  I am so pissed at myself right now!!!  I gained 18 lbs back.  I just really got away from all of the good habits.  I didn't track my foods,  I had frequent binges and I didn't get much exercise in either.  I got into a funk where I just got sick of it all and didn't care anymore.  Now 18 lbs later I guess I better wake up and start caring again cause I feel like shit...yup I said it SHIT!!! 

Went back to W/Ws this morning and will try and get back into the right mindset again.  Was on program all day and went for a 40 min. bike ride and then later a 30 min. brisk walk.  Off to a good start now I hope it lasts.  So do not want to become that unhealthy person that I will become if I don't get it into gear.  

I need you all to encourage me or give me an old fashioned scolding if that's how you feel.  But please say something to get me back on track no matter how harsh...I deserve it!!!
  So so mad at myself!!!
