Despite not being able to post, tracking my food and exercising has gone quite well the last three days. I overdid it, I think, when we had dinner at B's, but I tracked it. I figured I used all my weekly points in almost one night. Not so good. I've returned to walking during lunch and also went to the gym tonight. I didn't jog the whole way, so I made myself go 4 miles. Trying to prepare for the 10K run this weekend. I HOPE I can jog the whole time. Not so sure since I've gained some weight back. I'm also not happy about that, so have made some goals. I'll find out tomorrow if I made the first one. Crossing my fingers!

Since this is so new, I forgot to post yesterday, but did pretty well. We had the AWANA Ministries Team meeting at church. Had time to stop at Starbuck's for oatmeal, banana and tea. So I had a good breakfast start. Drank a good deal of water throughout the day. We had lunch at PV. Ugh, it sure wasn't very good, but that's where KH likes to go. I had about 4 hits of caffeine throughout the day. Not good if I'm supposed to be limiting caffeine intake. Starbuck's tea, a fantastic Kuerig individual cup of Irish Cream coffe, but I didn't catch the name brand of the coffee, just the flavor. It was SOOO smooth I think I could have drank it w/o cream. Very surprising for me. A diet cherry Coke at lunch and another tea later! I stuck quite well to plan. I did go over by 9 points, but tracked them. An extra taco and some 'dessert' cereal.
I'm disappointed in myself though. I didn't jog at all and I have a race to run next weekend! A 10K! Agh!
Food tracking is going pretty well today but I probably won't be able to eat many, if any, of the great garlic mashed potatoes M and I made for dinner at B's tonight. :-).

I'm doing it. After many years of avoiding jumping on the New Year's Resolution bandwagon, I've succumbed. In my defense, my reason for doing so is so I'll hold myself, and be held, accountable.
For almost two full years I’ve been dedicated to tracking, following and recording every bite I've eaten and anything that could be construed as exercise, in Weight Watcher's. Yes, it really works. IF you really make an effort to follow the program closely without cheating too much. Even log your points if you do cheat, then you'll see your weak points.
All that to preface, DEC 2012, I seriously fell off the program and, boy, can I tell! Serious health issues w/my Mom and some health problems of my own, WW's went by the wayside. Needless to say, I enjoyed the holidays too much. Managed to gain 7 lbs. in three weeks. Of course I could kick myself NOW because it'll take me TWO MONTHS to lose that kind of weight AGAIN! AGAIN, that's what bugs me so much. There's no point in berating myself further, time to quit looking back and move forward.
So, beginning 1/2/2013, I'm back on WW, full-fledged. Have picked up exercising again. Baby steps, I'm walking at lunch again, something I hadn't done pretty much since my friend retired in FEB. She also held me accountable.
It's going pretty well. I think I have the healthy eating lifestyle mindset back again. We went out to dinner w/t whole family (Silver City), I ordered a very frugal salad. It's hard to determine the points, but I can tell that I didn't overeat. The heaviest part of it was the chicken breast and approximately 3 T. chimichurri sauce. That could have had some oil in it, but overall not too WW bad, and very tasty. More later.
