Starting Anew

I am finally approaching the end of the semester with nothing but smiles :). This is my last week of school and I have a final on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In the back of my mind I have kept telling myself "you aren't going to have any more excuses when this date comes". I am excited to report that I am starting anew. I am not engaged yet, but hope to be soon, so that should be a good motivator (besides feeling/looking/being fat!!!) to get myself in gear. I have been paying for weight watchers on-line for about 2 months now (got the 3 month deal, so can't cancel until 3 months are up) and sadly must say that I have hardly been using it because I start off the week good (for about 2 days!) and then once I do bad I feel like the week is ruined and don't write anything else down. I know weight watchers works because I've lost several pounds off of it. It's just all about being disciplined. Today I am turning over a new leaf..... I am not going to wait until finals week is over because that is silly. I have 3 tests and then I'm free! Today I am making a vow to myself and all of you that I will be recording every point I eat from this day forward and will put in at least 30 hours of exercise each day. I am still debating on whether I should join the gym.... mainly because the classes are challenging. I live very close to the state's most beautiful bike trails, so it seems silly to try and join right now. My only problem is that just because I live close doesn't mean I will do it. If I join the gym I will have a support system because the ladies that go to those classes ask you where you have been when you skip a class! My friend Heather has dropped a lot of weight and looks great... and she goes to a class each day (except Sat/Sun). So we'll see how this week goes before deciding. I should probably get back to studying now. I will commit to writing a blog at least once a week (Sunday mornings) if not more. I weighed in at 191.4 lbs this morning. I weight 179 a year ago. I was so close to getting in the 160's. I don't know what happened. I will be there again soon. I am going to post a few products that I have really been happy with and that have pretty low points. Until next week (or sooner) I'll talk to you soon.
