Nothing of note to say

I don't have much to say today other than to report that I've been keeping up with my exercise plan for this week. I've also consistently updated my points and activity trackers on the weight watchers etools program. I'm not sure the program is worth $16.95 per month, but I do like the idea of the program. A friend of mine mentioned a free service called Sparkpeople. I may give that one a try for comparison's sake when my two week weight watchers trial ends.

I'm also adding a monetary incentive to my current efforts. My goal right now is to exercise 6 out of 7 days per week. If I achieve that goal, at the end of the week I'm going to reward myself with a small, relatively inexpensive indulgence. Each week that I fail to ahieve my goal, I will write a $10 check to a charity. This month my charity of choice is the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit.

Awkward Re-introduction

Ahem. Hi, it's me, again. I'm not really sure how to start this post. I have no idea where the last 2 months have gone. I have no excuse for falling of the exercise wagon (again). I just got lazy, and it shows in my stomach.

Here is a short update:

1. I did not get the job, and I think I was more upset about it than I wanted to admit to anyone, even to myself.

2. My son started first grade and my daughter started 4 year pre-school.

3. I had my first garage sale.

4. My husband and I worked out together for just under 2 weeks (doing the 30 Day Shred), but my husband hurt his shoulder and had to stop.

5. We took a family vacation to Walt Disney World which truly is the "Happiest Place on Earth." I credit the vacation with helping me get out of my funk.

So, I'm back. I had a coupon for a two week trial of Weight Watcher's "etools" program, so I'm trying it. I've been eating like absolute crap for the past two months. I hope that by documenting it, I will be more thoughtful with my choices.
