Back in the Saddle…

So…April ended up being a great month for me. After much deliberation (and poundage gained), I made the decision to return to Weight Watchers on 4/7. As of today’s weigh-in, I’ve lost 12 lbs. I am THRILLED. As much as I want this to be a fresh start, I can’t help but recognize shades of the "old" Courtney returning…but she’s improved. I am dedicated to following the program (and having similar success like the old days), but I am not allowing the obsession to take over. Version 2.0 seems to be in a much better place. Physically, I still have a sizable chunk of weight to lose, but mentally I am right where I need to be.

As I’ve mentioned, I’ll forever view myself as a recovering food addict, but I’ll never be "cured". I need to treat this as a real addiction and stay on track. Returning to 400+lbs is not an option and I will work daily to keep history from repeating itself.

Goal for the week…
Do not eat like a crazed heifer on vacation. I leave for Aruba this weekend and will be spending 5 days there. I plan to sample some local cuisine, indulge in the fresh fruit and limit the sugary drinks. Oh…and I’m going to swim my ass off. LOL

Hope you all have a great week!

P.S. I just have to post this picture of the Wonder Twins…don’t they look like they’re having a deep conversation? At 15 months, it’s probably wondering how to score a cookie or when the next episode of Yo Gabba Gabba is coming on. Love my nephews!
