(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.
