This is IT, I am putting my foot down

Finally - Well after much fighting with myself I have decided I am sick of the excuses, myself and lack of determination. So I attended a Weight Watchers meeting yesterday and here I go.
It was Valentine's day and I decided that it is about time I started to like myself again - so I decided to do something for myself. I realized that Valentine's day has been a day of important events for me. Two years ago I signed on to do the 3-day 60 mile walk for breast cancer on Valentine's day and completed my goal raising over $2000 and walking every step of the 60 miles. Last year I was pregnant with Addy Jo so my hands were tied for the 3 day and any weight loss efforts. Well Addy will be six months on Sat. and it is about time I made some changes. I always say life is full of choices so I better start making a few. After 2 pregnancies and some bad habits that have returned I have some work to do. It is so sad but I have about 30- 40 pounds to lose. So I am putting it out there so that I can own it and let everyone know that I am choosing to make some changes.

After all I did walk the 60 miles and I have lost weight before so I can do this - sometimes I just need a little help - that's where weight watchers comes in.

After attending the meeting yesterday I feel so good. Like a weight (so to speak) has been lifted, like I can do this and I feel energized and I am ready so here I go.....
