Up and Going AGAIN

OK, so I was doing good at the first of the year but lost it over the summer and ended up back at 236...

HOWEVER, they say if you mess up get up and keep going. So I joined LOA Fitness, a ladies only gym and I love it!!!! The best choice I've ever made.

After a week of going almost everyday I have lost 5lbs. Yuppers, I weighed tonight and the scale said 231.6!!!! Go me. I have so much energy and I actually look forward to going to the gym. That is ME time and it's all for me.

I'm counting calories again and I am liking that. I went Monday evening for my WWE and the NP said to not stress about losing to make small changes and that will account for a 1lb weight loss each week. This time next year I would have lost over 50lbs. I've already made several changes like cutting my salt intake. I do not cook with salt anymore, it is only a source of flavor. Now a little bit goes a looooooooong way. I am measuring everything and I have, right now ziplock bags on the shelf with 39 pretzels in each one. That is a serving of my brand of pretzels so when I need a snack I can grab a ziplock back and know EXACTLY how many calories I am taking in.

We found a new snack for us, Fiber One bars. I love the Oats and Chocalote!!! We just bought Oats and Carmel but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. Sounds good though.

My mood and outlook have changed alot!!! Which I've made some changes in my life and I think that is helping. I'm looking forward to the future which is new for me. LOL.

I would love to hear from those that keep up with my weightloss journey.

Also, I started a Weightloss Group on Facebook. It's called Mission P.H.A.T and is open to anyone. Some friends helped me get it together and I hope to see it take off. I want it to be a place where we can share our recipes, snack ideas and also to help one another on the hard days and rejoice in our triumphs!!!
