Following the leader

Okay, so, remember how I just VOWED that I didn't like WeightWatchers and that I could do this on my own and blaaahhhhh.

So, I joined WeightWatchers Online and it's actually pretty effing neat. So far, I've found recipes and figured out how many points are in food that I eat at restaurants and food that I eat at home. It's really easy with this handy dandy little points tracker. I only wish I could have a points tracker on me at all times...

OH WAIT I CAN! I can have a tracker on my iPhone! Oh, snap, it is so on.

But let me explain why I decided to do this. I was watching TV the other night, snacking on candy and chips, and I saw a commercial of Jennifer Hudson, looking thin and super fly, (obviously singing that song she sings every single time. Okay, J-Hud, it's a new day, okay? We got it), and I thought, "I WANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT."

It really isn't that different from what I was already trying to do, and I really think a lot of it was pride. I can admit when I'm being a tad bit stubborn. I don't like to be like everyone else, but maybe there's a reason why everyone else is doing this, eh? EH? Yeah.That's right.

A couple of things:
1. I need a better bike than the one I have. I really enjoy biking and I feel dead every time I get home from it.
2. I want to take self-defense classes. That could count for something, right?

Love and pamprin,

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.
