New Fad!

For those of you who know me, know that I've battled with my weight all of my life. Always have and always will. I am not as big as I used to be and I'm not as small as I used to be. Again, I will always have this battle.

I've done it by myself, the natural healthy way. I've hired trainers. I've just done probably any crazy thing out there. But I know the best program for me is Weight Watchers . The other day, I got out all of my materials and just revisited everything that I know, but stopped doing. It's time to get to that goal I started like 8+ years ago. The goal was to lose 100lbs. I lost about 93 of that and was so close to my goal. However, I got engaged and married and thought I could eat what he did and when he did. Therefore, I put on some lbs. I'm not going to admit how much, but I have put some on. I have since learned that I cannot do that. I just simply ignored the scale and had to get bigger sizes.

I recently have just decided enough is enough. Time to get to the goal. As crazy as it may seem, I do this much better alone. I don't need a buddy or someone to tell me what to do. I just have to do it. I'll update my fabulous readers on my progress every now and again and will admit when I fail. I have some mini goals that I'm going to set. I think my first one is that when I lose my first 10lbs, I will buy a new purse. (SIDE NOTE: I saw the cutest purse yesterday at DSW. It was a red Nine West purse for $30. WHAT? I know. But that is a tank of gas in the car and getting to work is more important than a purse. Well, not really. I mean there is no price on cuteness; but I know that's Chris' philosophy) I've learned that it is best to take it 10lbs at a time. That is an obtainable goal for me.

I'm off to drink some water and think light thoughts.

Oh and this has nothing to do with weight, but was anybody else surprised about Clay Gaiken? No. I have a friend that I just wish would come out already. I don't know what his deal is. It wouldn't be a shock. I mean, he choreographed a dance for a party we had in high school. It was a 70's, 80's and 90's theme. The theme was also his idea. Yeah, the dance even had peel offs and if I heard 9 to 5, I'm sure I could do the dance again. Whatever. Oh and he recently went to Fashion Week in New York. Most heterosexual men would rather put a hot poker in their eye than attend an event like that. Not this guy. You enjoy your secret life, I know the real deal.

Crap Susan, are you trying to out me? I am married, but do you know something I don't? :) Oh yeah, I wasn't included in that dance...much less plan the routine. And by the way, LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG SET UP! Kinda freaked me out when all your writing was on the right instead of the left. Love you bunches, Girl! Oh yeah, I always sign anonymous and just assume you know who I am. Let me know if you don't...

Yes I know who you are. How in the world were you not included in the dance? I guess you just weren't cruising the strip in Clanton with us the glorious night we decided to have the party. I don't know.
