1/4/13
     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.
