*gulp*! I'm baaaack....
I am back... I've been checking in now and then but have been feeling so down and embarassed because I have just let myself go... I have gained back all but about 10 pounds back. :(
Today I started WW again BUT... I also started on Alli. I decided to take Alli with lunch and supper... this will hopefully help me stay on track. I took one at lunch and it has had ZERO nasty side effects. It is keeping me in check with the RIGHT foods. I will be working some on my eliptical this eve. as well, but that will be slower than I like due to my back being totally screwed up :(
Been SUPER busy with family and work! Workin all week some days from 7:45 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Kinda stibks but GOOD for the pocket book and I could use that right now ;) On weekends we've been laying our new flooring in the bedrooms- decided to do that ourselves and I'm sooo glad it is DONE! That is likely, how my back got so messedd up :(
I am looking forward... planning my days and planning them around the tough times. I am taking the alli on ANY of those days I may feel will be difficult. I decided for Thanksgiving- Iknow that will be TOO difficult, so I will give myself that day but will do the Alli the very next day. Believe me, I've read a LOT about the nasty side affects and be DARNED if I am going to experience that AT ALL!! So that is my little helper to get me through the next two months :)
Some of you may remember my younger dd is preggo? She is due within the next 3 weeks. I hope to go to Juneau for her delivery. She is supposedly having a GIRL but I will feel a lot more like buying PINK when I see it :)
At any rate... I am in the game again!!! For REAL this time... I even re-did my profile page LOL

Welcome back, Mama! You know you're in the right place here and we're here to cheer you on.
Aw, heck, ain't that the way it goes? If i had a nickel for all those times I put it all back on, I'd be rich!
All we can do is get back up on the horsie and keep at it. I have faith in you to do just that!
I have not been doing all that great myself in the food arena - just got back from San Francisco, aka, the Home of the Bestest Food Anywhere, so in between and before meetings I did walk, but not enough to burn off the nutella and fresh baked croissant I ate, nor the deep fried prawns.
And, for what it is worth, as long as things like nutella and crosisants exist in the world, I will probably always be griping about how chubby I am.
I'm glad to see ya back - we'll get back to our best practices - together!!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome! It's nice to be back! I thought it was high time I put an actual PICTURE up... jeesh... my dog doesn't even look like that anymore :)
Yes, we decided to do the Disney thing again this next March. That will likely be the last time we get off the rock for awhile though... with the way things are going (economy and such) we just want to get things all paid up... maybe take a 1 or 2 year break :) Stick all the cash we can on the BILLS! (oh joy!) Anyhow, this year we'll be going for a whole TWO WEEKS!! My 14 y/o has it down to the months, weeks, days, hours , minutes AND even the SECONDS on his ipod!! Unreal! I can't wait, but I know I NEED this time to shed this weight!
So far today... I've done GREAT! Yesterday I did to :) Hope to be checking in more often! I have a baby in my care right now that doesn't usually nap when the rest of the gang does so I've not had a lot of time on here... her last day is Tuesday though! :)
Oh yeah! If any of you went to my profile... that is my daughter, grand daughter and myself :) It was taken 2 years ago- I don't allow many pics LOL
Dd had her ultrasound this a.m. and it is FOR SURE... a GIRL :) So I am breaking out the yarn, crochet hooks and putting these hands to work (how sad... all I need is a rocking chair... oh that's right! I have one of those already!) I'm getting old!
