4 Days in

And I must say counting point is so much easier than I thought. I've been doing really good. Today I went over my daily point allowance cause I had a beer. I do still have a ton of weekly points left so I wasn't to worried.
I went to Chipotle today and usually I get the Burrito, but not today. I got the Burrito Bowl, with brown rice, black beans, chicken, pico and guacamole. 15pts total, I think I did good. Dinner was not good, I had two slices of Pizza and a beer, hence the extra points.
The good thing is the first time I had lost so much weight, it was the tracking that helped me the most. I worked out a lot, but the tracking was what kept me in line. Cause when I started gaining weight again, I was still working out, but I did not keep track of what I put in my mouth. Also I am drinking a lot more water. So I think I am on the right track.

WW here I come...

I joined Weight Watchers online on Friday. So far so good. I am counting the points and log my food, it's pretty easy.

I am also making sure I drink a lot of water, that is important. So now I only need to get back to working out and we are golden. *sigh

wow, what a month

So in the past month, Steve got a new job, and we spent this past weekend in Houston to try to find a house, there was not much choice on the already built house department. I got really frustrated, but then on Friday we went to look at new constructions. I really liked the model home, and Steve liked a two story, but we didn't even look at the one that in the end is probably close to our Dream Home.
It's a one story, but it has some of the features that Steve liked in the two story. Since it only has the framing up so far, we get to go to the design center and choose, flooring, paints, light fixtures etc. Which we are so excited about. This whole moving thing got me a bit stressed out. So sadly I've been Stress eating, and not working out, so that has to change. I am reading the flat belly diet and see if I like it. (it lets you have chocolate) hopefully I can get back into the groove. I know these past 4yrs I was weak and didn't have the strength to stand up for myself. My sister had to come and get me out of the Dark place I was in. But now that I am better and in a great place mentally,  this seems to be a wonderful opportunity to start afresh. So that is what I am going to do. My etsy store is going great, I am reading the 5 languages of love with my wonderful husband, my kids a doing great. So it is time again to take care of myself. I was so happy when I was a size 12 and now I am back into an 18. I hate it. I feel FAT!!!! I don't wanna be FAT!!!!
So this blog will be my bitch post, since I can't bitch anywhere else. lol

So reader's beware.

It's Monday, and I did pretty good on the food today. I am logging again. I am also quitting my gym membership and start working out to P90X2. Steve also informed me they have a gym at his work that I can join. They also have personal trainers, which is awesome. I also intent to get certified again.
Tomorrow I have no plans, so in the morning I am going for a long walk with the dog, before it gets to hot.

news and stress

Wow, what a week we had. The company my hubby has been working for got bought out by Haliburton. They also offered him a job and now it looks like we are moving to Houston within the next two month. School starts August 27th and I want the kids to start school there. So needless to say, I haven't been at the gym since Wednesday. I've been trying to keep the eating healthy. But I really need to get better on using loseit app on my phone. It makes tracking you food so much easier.
I am just so sick of having a closet full of clothes and nothing fits. So this is getting down to serious business.
Tomorrow, I am going to the gym in the am. I have plans on a pedi with friends.
