It's been a while...well if Oprah can then I can!

It's been a while since I've written, but it hasn't been bad news. The good news is I haven't gained weight back and screwed up and gained 20lbs more than when I started. Actually this is GREAT NEWS! Cause that is what I've done countless times over and over again. But this time is different. I started this journey some time ago and I had a lot to lose over 120lbs. Now I have 92 lbs to lose. I haven't been writing this blog but that doesn't mean I have been eating myself to some 300lb oblivion. I could very easily be that girl, but I'm choosing not to be. Because frankly I'm starting to like this new girl more.

I'm not surprised Oprah has fallen off the wagon again. Her weight loss programs are torture, but that is another blog and another discussion. I am incredibly proud of her for facing it and moving forward. I'm also inspired to write again about my journey and to learn about all of you.

So I did fall off the WW wagon. But only for a short while. It has been a crazy time, moving, recession, figuring out what can I afford and what I can't. I decided I'm not going to abandon my needs and I'm going to make the best of it. So I chose what's more important the program and tracking or going to meetings. I do work better when I'm accountable so I decided that it doesn't have to be perfect. I'll be an online member for half the cost and I'll track every day and I'll read the encouraging articles and posts and I'll move on with this.

I'm just about to finish my first full week on WW online. I'm excited to be back. Back online and back in control. It is a great feeling after all. From good feeling places come good things. Oh I should probably tell you, I'm kind of spiritual and awakened now. I'm sorry I watch a lot of Oprah.

But I've had an amazing year. I stopped fretting, counting every pound, every dollar, I started to dream about things I wanted, to sell my small cramped space and buy a more spacious house. To continue my healthy lifestyle, to fall in love. Amazing things happened when I started to breathe (YUP just breathe) in and out for like 6 minutes in the morning. I also started to write down goals, and things I wanted out of my life. I haven't achieved it all yet, if I had man would this be a boring blog. But I did buy a great home. I travelled. I smiled in photographs. I laughed. I boosted my at home business. So no love, but he's coming. No million dollar dreams, but they are coming too.

This week, I was inspired to get myself back in a zone, a zone of control, tracking what I'm eating, trying to eat more fruit and veggies and exercising more. It may not happen over night but I'm hoping this year I will be closer to my goal. I hope you all will be too!
