Wednesday past I attended Weight Watchers. I am down 5-1/2 lbs in two weeks! Congrats to me! I must say, I was a little apprehensive about the new Points Plus Program Weight Watchers offers...but low and behold - it's working. Feels great to have some of this weight coming off...it's been awhile.
I retired June 1st last year and haven't really felt that good about myself. I believe I kept this well hidden from all of my family members (or they just didn't want to say anything) except for my husband. He noticed a change in after a short period of time. I now know I was pretty depressed. Depressed because of the way I let myself get out of control. With this came the fact that I really didn't want to do anything anymore. The one person that kept me going was my wonderful grandson - Aaron. Just being around him made me feel worthy again of being happy. Those that know me, know that I always took pride in my housework and my gardens...sorry to say, I let all of that go for the last year or so. Since I rejoined Weight Watchers - I've felt a zest for life that I haven't felt in a very very long time. I know people say that it doesn't matter what your weight is - if you are happy - well, I definitely wasn't.
Enough with dwelling on the past....here's to day, tomorrow and my future - things are definitely looking bright!
Note - as of the publishing of this blog - I have now lost 7 lbs total. This week we were given the challenge of 'moving' 10 minutes a day. I don't think that is alot to ask - so I will give it a try. I'm not a fan of activity - but I do know that counting calories (or whatever weight loss plan you may be on) and exercising are a must.
Stay tuned to see if I made my ten minute a day exercise challenge...thanks for listening.
