Day 1 - Starting Over Stinks

I've decided it's time to start this journey all over again.  My hubby used his Christmas bonus to join a new gym in our area.  He has lost about 15 pounds, and has gained lots of muscle.  Can someone say "YUMMY LEGS!"??  Anyway, his success is making me feel like a total failure.

We are both feeling motivated to get in shape for our daughter, Abbey.  We want to be around to see her graduate high school, get married, and have children of her own (AND IT BETTER BE IN THAT ORDER, ABBEY!!!).  We've both come to realize when you have a child you stop living for yourself, and you live 100% for them.  For instance - my house has been a mess for the last three months - but guess what?  I DON'T CARE!  I'm not going to waste the most important time in my daughter's life cleaning!  The mess will still be there tomorrow!

But I digress.  I've decided it will be best for me to go back to using Weight Watchers OLD Points system.  I found the formula online to calculate points!!  This site helps you calculate how many points you may eat per day.  I get 34 Points daily (for now).  For some reason, I can't find the website where I got the one to calculate food points, but I wrote the formula down in 20 places.  (Calories/50) - (Fiber x 0.2) + (Fat x 0.08) = Points Value.  Remember - this is the OLD Points system for WW. 

I will be weighing in first thing tomorrow (because I'm a slacker and forgot to do it this morning - DUH!).  Weigh-ins and blog updates will be posted at least weekly. 

Last thing - I just want to thank all my friends and family who have supported me through my weight struggles.  I love you guys.
