Well....I've been away for awhile!! Joined Weight Watchers last June and lost almost 15lbs. Then, work got busy (yeh) and life changed ALOT!! My step-son moved back home this past spring (my birthday to be exact). It's a good thing, but a stressful thing!! So, of course, food has become my security blanket!! I'm still trying - not doing to well, but have not gained it ALL back!! Today I weighed myself - it's time to get back on track.
My final decision - to get HEALTHY - the weight loss may come with it and it may not....we'll see. But as of today I walk 1-2 miles per day and start eating healthier. No more prepacked foods - back to whole, fresh, healthy foods! Right now we have a local market full of great fruits and veggies which I stocked up on and we're onto fish, chicken and 2-3 servings of beef per week. I had a little scare this past year - anemic!! Found out due to cutting out red meat my iron reserves were pretty much depleted. So, I was put on iron supplements and told to eat more egg yolk, lean red meats...you know!!
I tell you within a week or two I felt totally different - my energy returned two fold, I slept better, my mood swings lowered....let me tell you people, get your iron checked....what a difference it can make when you fix the problem. I deal with stress soooo much better now!!
So, I'm down 3lbs from 2 years ago....it was 15lbs...but I won't dwell on it!! Just need to get moving....walk, walk and walk more:) My dogs will love me for it too!!
Hope to hear from others!
Have a great one!
Sue:)
