Wow I am finally back!

I can't believe it has been almost a year since my last post! That is when I left the game, I am not beating myself up too bad because I have learned a lot in that time. I realized I went to an extreme and was too rigid and I set myself up for failure.
I have made some slow changes this past year that has helped. When I go out to eat now, I split my meal with either my mom or my kids. Not only does that reduce the calories but it's less expensive as well! That has helped me lose a few pounds and maintain the weight loss I have had so far.
It was time to step up my game though. I saw a friend recently who had been doing Weight Watchers and she looks great! It really inspired me because they started a new points plus program that allows me more protein, which I need for my diabetes. I have been dabbling with it since the first of February but I got a wake up call (Not an Emergency Health issue!) just and experience that got my rear in gear. When I am ready I will share that experience. I have been doing Weight Watchers now for 4 days and I'm loving it. I know that this is a plan I could do for life and I am totally excited about it. I decided to blog about my experience to help me stay accountable because I am doing it online and I hope I can also help others while I am on my journey!
