Fat days.

Ok ladies, most of us have them....fat days. I have had a few too many lately and am ready to do something about it. Starting today I am following an eating plan that loosely resembles Weight Watchers. I did WW a few years ago and lost 37 lbs. Now that I have gained over half of it back I have decided to reign it in. My final goal weight is 145. If any of my friends want to join me I would be thrilled to have a partner or 3. We can share recipes, keep each other accountable, and go for walks/jogs together.

I am not obsessed with appearance, nor do I wish to look like Angelina Jolie (homewrecker), I just want to live life to its fullest without holding back. I don't want to be the one on the side when everyone else is diving in. I want to feel strong, healthy, confident and positive. We may not be able to control the economy, or dang Washington weather, but I can control this!

I have used a lot of excuses like I am so busy so its impossible to make good food choices.... and the economy stinks so I will save money by buying the cheaper fattier product...its cold and rainy so I am not going to exercise....well this plan obviously stinks and I am making no more excuses. I have decided that blogging it will keep me accountable.

Little Joybits:

We Cheer: One thing that I do that some of you know about (and giggle about) is Wii Cheer. Now it seems silly, I know, but it is a fun, great workout (if you do it right and not cheat like Jen). You will forget that you are exercising and if you are half as competitive as I am you will also become obsessed with beating all of the songs. I have beat all of them and now am working on beating them on difficult. Yay me! If you have Wii and you are even the slightest bit coordinated you have to have it.

Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges: 1 point, use like mayo and in place of both cheese and mayo on a sandwich. Also, try with pesto. YUM!

La Tortilla Factory Tortillas: 1 point, use in place of bread to make an awesome filling sandwich wrap, or as a traditional tortilla for fajitas and soft tacos. Very filling and tons o' fiber.
