(Almost) Right Back Were I Started From

I have that crappy Marylyn MaCoo from the 70's going through my head.  Except, that song was fun "Love is good, love can be strong..."  Yeah...fun isn't where I am at... I gained almost half of what I lost.  It is completely my fault.  I neglected the plan.  Don't get me wrong, there were definitely some circumstances (losing a job, finding a job, selling a house, buying a house, moving from the sold house to the bought house, getting acclimated in the new job, driving to & from new city to & from the new city...you get the picture...) that created challenges.  However, there were plenty of times - PLENTY - OF - TIMES where I conveniently forgot to care about myself in the right way.  My reasons soon became excuses and well, now I am paying.

I haven't decided if I like the Leader at the meetings I attend.  There are a couple of people there that I do really like.  I will give it a little time, but I may try the others. I know that Weight Watchers works, and not because their slogan says so, or because of Jennifer Hudson (anyone else hate that song she sings in the commercial... pick one - i think there are 2- both are annoying!). My 1st week back, I lost 1.6, but after a wonderful Trivia Night (full of snacks!) and a 6 hour roundtrip car ride, I ended up gaining a little bit this week. And, that's OK.  My weekend was fun and I was fully aware of my over eating.

Delightful

My birthday was at the end of February. I have to admit, I was delighted when I I received a handful of cards in the mail. We have made it so easy on ourselves to send wishes last minute via email or the various forms of media.  It made me feel special to have so many of my friends take the time to send them to me in time for my birthday.
