Taking Back My Life

I lost 3.5 pounds!! Not too bad when you consider I used all of my extra points for the week and didn't exercise once! I am starting exercise this week. So anyways- 3.5 down- i'll take it!

I bought One A Day Weight Smart vitamins to take as my Multivitamin and here's my story on how that is going. I have taken them two days in a row but I didn't take one this morning and I will tell you why! The first day I took one I was up at 10ish. I was fine throughout the day, had much more energy and all that. Then bedtime came- no matter what I tried I could not fall asleep for anything!

After I posted the fist blog last night I bit the bullet and signed up for weight watchers!! I am happy I did b/c I am ready to get ME back.

I will get there. I don't know what else to say right now but I will have more later I am sure of it!!
