Okay so instead of calling it a diet we are on, it is a new lifestyle we are undertaking.I know diets don't work.I grew up with a mother who was always on some kind of diet.I think my own children would say I have always been on some kind of a diet craze.But truthfully I never thought too much about my weight or what I ate in my 20's and 30's.It never really was a problem and I was too busy raising kids to worry about it.But now that I'm (cough cough) way into my 40's it has become a bigger issue.Let me just say it has been VERY hard to get off now!!I almost did the HCG diet but we have so many things coming up I knew it would be hard to stick to.So Clay and I are doing Weightwatchers online.I'm not one to go to meetings and tell anyone my weight.Just as an example I had to have sedation at the dentist office last week. When Clay and I walked into the office, Dr. Green and his staff were all standing there.The first thing he said to me was "I have to ask you something very personal". Guess what it was MY WEIGHT so he would know how much meds to give me.I swear everyone stopped what they were doing and waited. There was NO WAY I was going to yell it out for the whole office to hear let alone Clay!I debated for about a couple of seconds of taking off about 15 lbs. but then I worried the meds wouldn't be enough.So instead I told him I would whisper it in his ear.So now Dr. Green and I are the only ones who know how much I weigh.
We have been doing it for about 10 days.So far so good.Clay of course is losing weight like crazy but that's one of the perks of being a MAN!Just up the street from us is a housing development that really is it's own city.They have put in a couple of manmade lakes.We have really enjoyed walking around them since there is a walking/jogging/biking path all the way around.I have got back into doing my pilates and have been doing the P90X for arms and shoulders.We got a temp. membership to a gym to see if that's the one we want to join. Clay enjoys it but I prefer to be outside and not have so many people googling.My knee is not hurting like it was , that makes me very happy.I love that you can eat anything on weightwatchers as long as you stay in your points range. It has become a big eye opener reading labels.They say anything can become a habit after 15 days so we shall see.
