Just a quick note…

To say that after several WEEKS away from WW meetings, I went back this morning. The scale was ugly after Snowmageddon in Dallas and the yummy carbs that you’re required to eat for survival in the frozen tundra. *side eye*

Some of you wonder (via private notes, email and possibly just in your head lol) why I continue to stick with a program that hasn’t been completely successful for me. I disagree with that mindset. Yes, I’ll reach my 10-year anniversary next month and no, I’m not close to goal weight. However, I see it as a success simply because after all of this time, I haven’t faded into weight loss oblivion and returned to my former self. I’m still significantly lower than my "before" weight and I’m a completely different person these days. Weight Watchers (along with a host of supportive friends, family and diary buddies) saved my life. No dramatics, there…real talk. I may never be skinny, but I’ll always be active.

With that said, I’ve decided to (once again) return to basics with the program. I weighed in today and had my stats labeled as Week 1. While I’ll never forget the weight I saw in March 2001, I need to file it away and move on. My "new" journey starts today. I’ve made a commitment to attend meetings regularly, use eTools to track my daily progress and do the new program to the letter (i.e. not Courtney-fying it). As for fitness, I’m working my way back to 5x/week in the gym. I’d also like to start posting more here. I won’t promise daily entries, but you’ll see more from me. 🙂

I hope you all have a great weekend…
