Losing It

Losing Weight
Let’s face the facts the older we get the harder it is to lose weight.  After having my son, the majority of the weight came off easily. I never gained an absorbent amount of weight either.  In all I gained 28 pounds.   I figured all of it would come off with me breastfeeding.  But, the last five pounds wanted to stick around for as long as possible.  Although I can confess that I haven’t done anything to actively try to lose that weight either.

Finally I was fed up; I have to lose these last five pounds and then some.  So, I bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers.  After being on Weight Watchers for three days I have come to a couple of realizations…
1. I snack all day long.  And those snacks equal points.  So, instead I am trying to snack on fruit which has zero points.
2. I am hungry a lot.  I have been trying to ignore those hunger cravings as much as possible.
3. I need to make better choices.  For instance instead of eating a ton of chips, I just need to eat one serving or better yet half a serving.  
In the end I hope this system pays off.  I am paying for it and would hate to waste the money.  Also I really want to lose this weight.  
Before having my son, I loved working out.  Now I can’t seem to find the time.  With daylight savings I have to rush home in order to go for a walk.  Sometimes we just don’t make it in time.  So yesterday I tried a workout video.  Well Noah wanted me to have nothing to do with that.  Each time I tried to do the exercises he was at my feet whining for me to pick him up.  So that workout was pointless.  I am hoping that one day some of my mommy guilt will go away and I will be able to actively use my gym membership again.
