I suck

I'm a really crappy blogger. I was thinking of starting a new topic-specific blog, but, eh, may as well stick with this one.

I hate the drab color of the background, but Brian likes it. I changed in a little while back and he noticed. :P He doesn't even post on here!

I joined Weight Watchers yesterday! Yay for me! And what did I do after the Open House meeting? I went to Mililani Mauka Genki Ramen and had a big plate of beef curry and rice. :P The 10-week program doesn't actually start until next Wednesday. I'm indulging while I can and will probably have a "Last Supper" of sorts on Tuesday night.

I've never done anything quite this formal, nor public, when it comes to my weight. I've tried losing on my own a few times, but always fell off the wagon. I decided to take the plunge with WW because my employer's wellness program is sponsoring it. Meetings are right after work, AT WORK, every Wednesday. My health insurance takes care of a portion of the program cost. I only pay $63 total for this first 10 weeks. How could I NOT give it a chance?

I'm hoping the meetings help. I've worked with many of the WW members in the past and they were so supportive yesterday! I also figure I've got some degree of financial incentive to make this work.

I haven't set an official weight loss goal, but given that I'm currently at my all-time heaviest, I'd like to get back down to where I was 5 years ago. That's 15 pounds! Doesn't sound like a lot, right? Well, it's a lot for my 4 foot 10-1/2 inch (yes, every half-inch counts!) frame. It's so funny though. I wasn't even happy with my weight back then. These days, I long to be where I was.

I've accepted that I'll NEVER be a skinny mini. My goal is to lose a reasonable amount of weight and to feel healthier.

I'm hoping to chronicle my 10-week journey right here! Stay tuned....
