What kind of support system do you have at home or wish you had?

My husband Ed is my support system. He has always been there for me with anything I've needed. The biggest thing is the grocery stores, I would tend to go down the cookie & candy aisles whether I wanted them or not. He stears me towards the outer aisles which are always the best ones for you. Your fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy it's the center aisles that become part of the problem.
When it comes to working out well that has been a problem lately, I was doing really well and for the past week I have felt like crap. Colds, constant headaches sorry if I sound like I'm complaining but I couldn't go on my treadmill with my head pounding. When I do workout out I like to go downstairs alone which my family is all real good about that. When it's nice out we go walking around the neighborhood in the evening with the dogs. That is a good time for my husband and I to catch up with each about our day also, I really like those walks.
I can't wait for this weather to change.

What keeps you going when you just want to stop?

Well what keeps me going when I want to stop. I think about how am I already starting to feel from the way I look to how I feel inside about myself. I also set up a reward for myself as my ending goal. Mine would be adding to my back tattoo, but that's just me. I love my tattoos, and getting them feels like a reward and not just for any reason. They are different meanings for me and for that particular time in my life so they are very special.

A Picture

You know when you get yourself ready to go to a party and think hey I look pretty good. Then someone post a picture of you from that party. Then yeah not so much and you think damn look how did I end up like this. Well that happened to me, the party was a couple of months ago, but I sure didn't need to see that or maybe I did.
Overall my weight loss journey has been going good so far. According to my Wii Fit I have lost another 2 pounds today, I am fine with taking it slow. I went 2 miles on the treadmill today and 2 miles on my bike and my knee didn't even pop out so that was a plus. Tonight for dinner my husband is fixing a receipe from Weight Watchers it's really good and the whole family enjoys it. That is one of the main things with eating right, you don't want to eat separate so make your family apart of things. Eat healthy meals with them & do activities they all like to do. Like next month we are going to Starved Rock, the eagles migrate there in February and it's beautiful. It's a hike and a good workout for everyone, I highly recommend it.

Starting Over

Alright well clearly I am new at this blogging so bear with me. As to the weight loss journey is what I am referring the starting over about. Like most people I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I had gone to Weight Watchers finally I thought I had things under control, I even lost 100lbs I was so excited. Then I had to have surgery and couldn't exercise for months this in turn started my downward spiral. I have put back on 60 of those pounds back, I didn't do it overnight and there were alot of other things I could blame it on. But ultimately it was all me.
So I am now starting over I had liked the way I looked and felt when I lost that weight and I want to feel that way again. I am not setting a time limit, because I am not setting myself up for failure, be there done that. My husband & I did buy the Wii Fit Plus and the Biggest Loser game, both are giving me a great and tiring workout that I can definately feel. Yesterday I completed week 1 of the Biggest Loser Program and yes there is a weigh in at the end of the week. I lost 5 pounds and it said I fell below the yellow line, so since it's my game I don't think I will be elimated.
