Ohhh Lawd

Reasons for me missing the last, like, four months of blogging and/or dieting:

The end of the school year hecticness
I got a really cute puppy ( see right picture).
It's sooooo hot in the summer in Montgomery.
All around laziness.
I lost my drive, my mojo, and my inspiration somewhere.

Reason I am now getting back on that horse:

I went to the doctor who told me that my blood pressure numbers would eventually cause me to take meds. I am only 20....something. Needless to say, I freaked.

So I joined Weight Watchers with my family. I have now lost 7.5 lbs and lost ten points on my blood pressure. Since I didn't remember how much I gained, I'm just starting from here with the competish.

2legit, are we still doing the competish? Because I'm laying the gauntlet back down if we are. I don't know what that means but I've heard it before at really crucial moments in action movies.

OH GIRL, I AM BACK!

Hey peoples!
After an entirely too long hiatus (the summer was kind of hot, okay?), I am back on the wagon. Although I haven't gained ALL the of the weight I lost back, I have gained quite a bit back (like 13 pounds out of 25. sad). BUT THAT WILL NOT DETER ME. I'm going to need a lot of motivation, and I'll be really counting on you, my babies, to help me get back into the swing of thangs.

Right now, I'm eating weight control oatmeal with blueberries, a tallboy glass of water, and coffee with fat free creamer and splenda. The great thing about oatmill is that I can eat it and I won't be STARVING in thirty minutes. That's the issue I've always had with breakfast. I'd eat it then I would just get hungrier. It was as if it jumpstarted my stomach into NOMNOMNOM mode. Forreal.

My sister, Laura, who will be getting a message about her lack of posts as well, is on Weight Watchers. Along with my dad and his lady in waiting. My dad looks really great so far, he had been on it three weeks when I saw him and already I saw a change. But I really don't want to pay for something I already know how to do. So, here we go. Let's rewind the numbers back:

I've lost 12 and 1/2 pounds since I started this blog. I lost 25, then gained back 13. My name is Michelle and I had a relapse. I know....I know...food tastes awesome. But so does living, no?

Hall and oats,
MICHELLE
