Comment by mamab on July 4, 2011 at 10:35am I try to walk a little bit each day...plus try to do the wii fit or biggest loser video at my pace, it helps to keep my mind off the pain. but also is helping lose the weight I have gained over the last two yrs.

I've been on Weight Watchers for the last few months. I tried it online last year but apparently I am one of those people who need to physically pay them for motivation :) You shouldn't be hungry though. Make sure you are using all your daily points as well as counting any activity points (it allows for more food) and don't be afraid to use your extra points. Water, Water, Water!

Carla I don't believe it is fully gone. I think my smoking has something to do with it. Remember when I was quitting...? lol in March. I was doing great the first week or so and then well it just went downhill. I went out with friends once and I started smoking a lot when we were at the bar. I smoke a lot when I drink (I don't drink often at all even when I do its like 2-3 drinks at the most) I guess its just habit. So that started me back again. So I need to pick another smoking quit date. Mom is doing it as well. So her and I need to pick the same day that way one isn't smoking in the same room while the other is trying to quit.
My goal this week is to try and work out at least twice.
We have a small fitness room at work that has treadmills and a stationary bike. I'm allowed to use it for free (unfortunately only employees otherwise I could have a friend work out with me) I'm hoping to try and use that one or just go walking around the neighborhood.
Another goal is to completely spring clean my room. Which could work out for 'working out' as I want to clean the room spotless and get rid of crap/organize.
Happy Mothers Day to all you Mothers!!!
