Weight Watchers Update: Back in the Saddle Again!

After a long hiatus, I am finally back on track with my Weight Watchers. Technically it is my 24th week; you would think I look like a stick but I am slowly getting there. After falling off the wagon in March, as of last Monday I am finally back on track and more motivated, due to my beach vacation.

As of January 3rd, I've lost 16 pounds and have kept the pounds off during my lazy period between March through April. I've been going to the gym on and off over the past couple of months, doing the elliptical machine and reading Twilight and then on to New Moon. But as the economy has it, we had to cut the gym due to finances, but it is not the end of the world.

(As of Feb 28th, here are my new measurements)

Right Upper Arm: -.5"

Waist: +.5"

Hips: -1"

Right Thigh: -.5"

Bust: -1.5"

For exercise, I have gone into full force mode with the Wii Fit, there is a new Wii game out called EA SPORTS Active. I've been waiting for it to come out for the past couple months and finally it is out in stores, however I just can't seem to get my hands on it due to funds. I am thinking more like end of June will I be able to finally snag it.

This new exciting EA Sports Active game for the Wii features more than 25 exercises and sports-inspired drills. Purchase the accessory pack that comes with a leg strap that measures your movements on screen, use the resistance band to increase the intensity of bicep curls, shoulder presses and many other exercises. Can't wait!

~ Need new exercise gear? For all my running kicks I love going to Kohls. They have the best brands like Nike, Adidas and New Balance, you save about 25% to 40% of what you would spend in smaller chain speciality stores.

I Started Weight Watchers…again!

Starting yesterday I started my resolution of getting healthy, this includes loosing weight and feeling great, whoot whoot. I have always had a struggle with weight over the years, but wasn't until junior year of high school did the pounds kick in. I went off to college and lost about 20 pounds but surely enough I moved back home and I blew up again. My blood pressure has also gone up, which is very dangerous. Eyeyeyee so disgusting, but hey I love food and hate exercising when I have no motivation, any who I fluctuate all the time, from loosing 2 pds to 5 pds, but heard about Weight Watchers from my husbands cousin Jess. She has been on it since May 2008 and has lost 75 pds, unbelievable. I started WW in June 07 and stayed with it until about October, lost 5 pds, but really lost inches around my arms, waist and even in my face. 

Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and stopped tracking my points. But I am in it to win it this time! I say this all the time, but this year is different. I know I can do this...yesterday was my first day and I did well, I have a plan to do my Wii Fit three times a week and if I can, go the YMCA once a week. I'm not going to reveal my weight at this time, but once a month I am going to measure myself. WW is really easy  to do, each person gets a set amount of points a day. I get 29. You just have to keep within your points each days, I track my points on their website, it costs money per month but you can write it down at home and use this free link. WW also offers meetings which is a great way to reach out to others and also have the support, I particularly don't go because the meetings cost extra money. I will keep everyone posted how I am doing, I could use all the support on the internets.

Do you have a new year's resolution?
