Try, try again

So, in the 12 months or so since I’ve last posted, I have gained … 7 pounds. Yep. I suppose it could have been worse, but it’s still pretty bad.

I’ve decided to try … again. A few things have changed since last year.

1) I am now 52 – to be 53 in two months

2) I have a FT job, which means I am no longer working at home)

I also started working out with a personal trainer a few months ago. I’m feeling a bit firmer – just not thinner 🙂 I’m also using a FitBit but keep forgetting it at home.

I’m going to try and blog daily. My inspiration is the fact that I have thousands of dollars worth of designer clothes (yes, you read that right), and that I’m just plain tired of being fat.

So, here’s my day yesterday:

Up at 6:30 am

WW: Went to meeting and weighed in at 217 (I’m 5’5″)

Exercise: 75 minutes of Hot Yoga before my ww meeting (went with my friend Sandy, also on ww)

Then to Caribou for breakfast (Apple Sausage Chicken Daybreaker plus a Skim Snickerdoodle latte total 12 points), then a relaxing pedicure.

Home mostly to nap, catch up on reading a half dozen magazines and relax. DH (darling husband) and I were going to go for a walk last night but it was too hot (95 degrees), so we blew it off. Diet meal for lunch w/diet bread and DH made burgers, homemade coleslaw and beans for dinner (I counted as 15 pts as we used 93/7 and diet buns and I had 1/2 c of beans and coleslaw). We then went to see the new Spiderman movie in 3D with sons 2 and 3. It was pretty good! Afterwards, I came home and enjoyed a Mike’s Hard Lemonade (4 pts). Don;t remember my snacks, but the day ended at 40.
