A new me in progress

So, my hubby has now become a blogger. He has reminded me that I too have a blog that I need to get back to updating! So it looks like it has been almost a year since my last post...yikes!
The weight loss had been slow up until February of this year. I began a new program called Ideal Weigh. It is a strict program that is run by a couple of nurses in town. It's on the lower (not none), just lower carb, sugar & fat idea. Through this program I have lost a little over 35 lbs.
Today I hit a realization that although my goal was to lose 50 lbs my check book can no longer "afford" this program anymore. Today I walked into the Ideal Weigh office & told them I needed to get off the program, take a few months off to get back on track with $ then come back when summer is over. I have moved on to a new phase...I get to eat a really yummy breakfast :) I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but to someone who has only ate certain protein packets since Feb. this is a big deal!
I've learned so much through this process. I guess the biggest thing I learned was-in order to succeed at any weight loss program you need to have the desire & the will to do it. Even if that means not eating the cheesecake while all your friends are eating a piece, or not eating my kids left over french fries.
All this to say...I have some more weight to lose, but will have to work a little harder to lose it...meaning I've got to have an exercise plan that I stick with.
So once again, here I am (although 37 lbs lighter than the last time I updated this blog) ready to take on a new adventure in weight loss.
