Heavy Topic, Take 2

Ok...
So last year I tried to diet and exercise and honestly, I sucked at it. I just gained weight and kept getting injured. Sore knee, sore feet, sore back. Then I kept getting a cold and it would take days to recover, but as soon as I felt good and started excising again, the cold and body pains would come back. Then I went back to doing nothing. Feeling like a failure for once again not getting control over this issue. I mean I kicked the sugar addiction and stopped smoking to be healthier. Then, some time between Thanksgiving and Yule, my BFF, Bea asked me to be her maid of honor (MOH) and I finally said NO! No, to the weight, because I said" YES of course" to Bea. Then she told me the wedding is in APRIL!!!! Oh for Goddess sake I thought. I stepped on the scale.... 198 lbs!!!!!! HOLY SHIT, I thought. Well screamed in my head actually. How the hell and WHEN did that happen. So I know I had to get serious. There was no way I'm standing in a church, next to my beautiful BFF with her being all glamorous and sexy and me being a tub-a-lard in chiffon. So, I started.... began to watch what I ate and trying to add exercise into my routine. And a great big ole nothing happened. I lost a whole pound... woot, right? Of course, it was the holidays. It was difficult not to down delicious and decedent treats. So, in January, I got SERIOUS. I paid for Weight Watchers (on line) Points Plus got the book "Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type." And what a difference! It didn't want to blog about my progress, until there was actually something to type about. According to the book, I had to give up chicken, corn, tomatoes, soy, wheat and a few other of my daily dietary staples. I am eating more veggies, beef, dairy.... trying out gluten free and raw. I'm given a daily 29 points with an additional 49 weekly points that honestly I try to avoid using, but come in handy when I want to eat subway. (a sandwich 6inch is 11 points and I can still down a footlong)... But proud and happy to say that as of today.... (and even though I'm suppose to only weigh on Monday's) I'm 186!!!! WOOT!!! Size 12/14 brides maid dress here I come!!!
