Good Morning!

Wow!  It's been almost a week since I wrote in this blog - it doesn't seem that long.  I've been busy with work and running the kids around and just don't get to it.

Got on the scale this morning - 259.3.  Back in the 250's feels very good and now I can set my sights on getting UNDER 250 by Thanksgiving.  So far I am right on track for being in the 230's for the Lap Band surgery.  I admit that there is a part of me starting to think I don't need the surgery;  I can lose this weight with Weight Watchers and avoid the knife.  Maybe just the threat of the knife figuratively hanging over me will be enough to keep me on track.  This is, however, probably just wishful thinking.  I feel this way every time I go on any diet program...THIS is the time I will follow it through to the end...this is the time I will get myself into shape.And I just get tired of the whole process.  So that is where getting a Lap Band will be my solution.

The pedometer challenge is working well.  I was thinking while I was walking the track at the YMCA yesterday about getting my life to be, in general, an active one.  I need to find activity that I like that is feasible at my current weight.  I am feeling altogether too fat for dancing - I get out of breath which is a real drag for my frighteningly fit partners.  Also saw people rock climbing - too fat for that right now but will do it when I'm thinner!  But what to do now (besides walking and elliptical work)?  Going to keep thinking on it...

Also plan to take a one month photo and post that in the next day or two...
