Well started Weight Watchers. Counting my points and tracking all my food that I eat. Several people at work have lost tons of weight with WW. I know that slow and steady always wins. I would like to wake up one day and I have dropped an easy 20lbs. But we know that it justn't happen that way.
Snow is the word for today. It just keeps coming!!!!! The roads are slick with the snow being really wet.
One way that I am focusing on my weight loss and becoming a better fit and healthy me, is that I am signing up for several charity walks and rides this summer. I just signed up to ride the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure 2008 Bike Ride this June. I will be riding 25k and raising funds for diabetes research. Being a type 2 diabetic and my mother is a type 1, and being a RN I see the impact of diabetes everyday. Look for the link to my personal fund raising page for more info. I am also going to particpate in the MS Walk for a Cure this April. Several people from work said that will be joing me on that walk.
Work will suck this weekend! Working just about 60hrs in the next 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Snowing outside and watching spring training baseball on ESPN. The Cleveland Indians are playing the NY Mets. GO TRIBE!!!!!!!! Love Baseball!!!!

Starting Over...................
Not really sure what has been going on with me. No, thats a lie. I use food as a comfort, as a friend. Work has been REALLY F@#KED lately and I have been using food to get me through. Working 16hrs/12hrs and doubling back (work till 1130pm and coming back at 7am) I have turned to food to get me through this.
Knowing that means something has to change, so I have to "man up" and take this by the horns before all of this kills me.
So, in an effort to right this sinking ship I call my weight loss battle, I am signing up with Weight Watchers. Yes, my first meeting is in two days, Thursday @ 6pm. Now I know what you are saying "WW is not alone going to work", yes I know and thanks for sharing. I will be also focusing on my work outs.
Everything starts with baby steps:
*Begin the Weight Watchers Program and faithfully record & journal my daily calorie intake.
*Begin a program of excerise. Beginning with a walking program with a goal:
Goals to include: I am signing up for 5k events starting in May and will do two a month, will be doing local health walks (MS walk for example). This way by paying for these events I will help to maintain my motivation as I hate to waste money and I get the benefit of the excerise.
I have also joined a contest at work. Our own version of the Biggest Loser Couples. I am paired up with a fellow nursing supervisor and if we win we split $500.00.
Mainting this blog also helps me to maintain an avenue of sharing my frusttraions and joys as I begin my quest for a Fit and Healthy me.
