One Year Ago Today...

I sent this e-mail to my sister: 

"I am informally starting weight watchers today....we'll see how it goes."   

I am happy to report that it went well....very well.  I stayed on Weight Watchers through July and hit my goal.  I then converted to straight calorie counting, more specifically, counting calories in and out using My Fitness Pal.  As of today, I am 40 lbs lighter than where I was one year ago.  I am much more cognizant of the quality and quantity of food I put in my body.  I know what makes my body happy and what makes it downright angry.  I drink very little soda (maybe 1/week vs. multiple a day).  I take vitamins and exercise regularly.  I have come to the realization that yes, I am getting older and taking care of myself is pretty darn important.

Awesome, congratulations! Didn't realize you were making that big of an adjustment! I should probably give up the soda too. I got a Keurig recently which has helped, but I should use it even more. Way to go! Liked the Florida photos also and hope Matthew is doing better.
