About Me

Sterling, Virginia, United States
Hi All! I have decided to create this page as a sort of blob/inspiration/group help to lose some weight. Starting this Monday, July 19th, I have decided to finally start Weight Watchers. As many of you know, I had weight loss surgery two years ago this past May. For the first year and a half I was doing a fantastic job at losing the weight and keeping it off. But since last August, when we found out Greg had cancer, I went in a very deep rut. Dealing with the emotional heartache of cancer was really rough. So I got used to eating like crap and just not caring anymore. Well - I'm sorta sick of it now. I'm starting to gain weight back and I can actually feel it. I don't feel healthy anymore and I'm just tired all of the time. So I'm starting this with the intention of having help. I figure we can all have monthly meetings. Go out and do activities together. Like a girl's night out - but during days and with activities. Hiking, swimming, tennis - WHATEVER! LOL

Early morning and starting school

Good morning all,

So waking up and having to be at work at 7am sucks. I know there are people out there who have to be up way earlier than me but I am not a morning person at all! I go to bed wtih every intention of getting up at a decent time to walk the dog and eat a good breakfast. But no, once that alarm goes off, I'm hitting that snooze button a million and one times until it's completely necessary to get up. Then I rush through a shower, getting the dog out and skip making breakfast.

But see, that't the problem. I skip making breakfast. So every morning I end up stopping somewhere and buying breakfast. Now I try to make a little bit of a healthier choice in what I order (this morning was an egg mcmuffin with no cheese and a sugar free iced coffee) but I still have a problem with actually getting fast food for breakfast.

Two years ago when I first had my surgery, I was doing REALLY well with getting up and making my breakfast. But I think it's because I had more energy since I was losing the weight. Now I'm just in a slump and want to sleep all the time. That and I really have no desire to go into work. I wish I could work from home or be rich and go to school full time. Or just be rich in general. LOL.

Anyways - what's your biggest hurdle in your weight loss? Laziness? Cause I think that's the biggest culprit in my case. Blah.

    I just realized that I didn't even bother mentioning that I was starting class tonight for the new quarter. I mean it was mentioned in the title and all. LOL

    My biggest hurdle, I believe is pretty obvious to you...I don't cook. Call it laziness, lack of cooking imagination, or whatever. But, that's a big problem for me. That's why I think the raw vegan diet might be a good option for me, personally...obviously it doesn't involve COOKING, but perhaps some preparation.
