Unfortunately, when there is stress in your life and you don’t make the best food choices then that food can add the numbers to your waistline unfortunately. After going through an awesome weight loss journey, my world was turned upside town when my beloved grandmother passed away. That was my best friend. I miss her so much and just would eat this, or that and then the weight began to creep back on. Not a lot of it came back, but 15 pounds did over the course of the last year. I got to thinking, Grandma disliked so much when I was fat, I need to suck it up and make her proud of me.
So, this year, I have been doing just that. I am back to religiously counting my weight watcher points. I have cut out a lot of sugar and soft drinks. Even cut back on the amount of coffee I was drinking. Water is my choice of drink these days.
I am back on track and getting very close to where I was with my weight loss journey. Here is where I left off:
and here is where I am at as of this evening:
I am not quite there yet, but it is a huge step in the right direction. I am just thankful that I realized what was happening and made the change before it is too late. Diets do not work, it is the lifestyle change that works. Walking is definitely what helps as well as also Just Dance on the Wii – just saying!
I am going to add more recipes here as well that I have been cooking up over the last few weeks that are low in points. I will do a weekly update with my weight loss and tips that are helping me along the way. Summer will be here before we know it and we all know what that means – Bathing Suit time!
Woot Woot! You know I am one of your biggest fans. ;o) You can do this!
Yes, you are! I wouldn’t be where I am at today without you 🙂
Congrats, Jen! You look fabulous – and isn’t it a great feeling to know you’re making healthier choices? Thanks for the reminder that I really need to get back on track myself!
It is a very great feeling. I am just glad to be back on track. You will be proud. I am going to do my first 5K in June with Carolina Mama!
Another fan! 🙂 Proud of you – you are really a good example to us all. I love sharing recipes! And stories!
Yes, you are a fan sweet dear friend! We keep each other accountable right? Let’s get started on that training for the 5K!
Weight sort of can sneak up on you sometimes! You look great and I love Just Dance it is a fun way to get some cardio in.
Thank you Laura! Isn’t Just Dance so much fun and I love that my girls can participate with me!
It does sneak back up on you but you look great and I know you’ll get where you want to be. Keep yourself and your family healthy! Love ya.
You always know how to make me smile Nan. Thank you for the support. Love you!
