Health Smart Mom

Well, I’m certainly not going to tell you to do something that I’m not willing to do. Since I’ve been talking about eating better, exercising, and losing weight – I’m going to go public with my own journey towards weight loss.

I am a horrible stress eater. In the past year (June 2008- July 2009) due to stress – I’ve gained about 25 pounds. It’s time to take that off (and then some.)

To help me with that quest – after looking at all the options, as well as my past weight-loss history – I’ve decided to go primarily with Weight Watchers®.

My workplace has a Weight Watchers® At Work program, and I will be utilizing the online tools as well. I’ve also discovered that Weight Watchers®  is a great way to connect with co-workers. I’ve started walking with several co-workers during breaks at work, and even attend the meetings with them.

I attended my first courtesy meeting on the 25th and had a courtesy weigh in at 192.2 (which was better than the 197 that I saw on my home scale earlier this month). I will keep you posted on what my first “official” weigh in will be on September 1st.

So far this week, I’ve exercised by walking for 15 minutes two times a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I will keep you posted on my progress, what I eat, what I go AWOL on, and all the nitty gritty. Feel free to share back! What are your weight loss goals?
