Ok, I am new at this. I hate journaling or bloggin. I always feel like what I am writing is stupid. But here goes.....
I am starting a new diet plan. I have tried pretty much all of them and the only one that seems to work for me is Weight Watchers. I never had a weight problem when I was younger. About 2 years after I graduated high school I started putting on weight. I never really though I was a FAT as I really was, until I look at pictures now do I really realize how fat I was. I think I got up to about 194. Then I tried Atkins and lost 20 lbs in about 3 months. Then I gained about 10 back and gave up for a while, until I got engaged. A little less than a year before my wedding I bought the Weight Watchers books on ebay and decided to go to a meeting. I really liked it and liked how simple it was. I weighed myself everyday and had lost about 2.5 lbs the first week. But when I went to the weigh in of my second week, they said I had only lost a half of a pound!!! I was furious and vowed to never go back. And I didn't, but I did keep up on the Weight Watchers. I started running too and I ended up loosing 43 pounds! I weighed 141 the day of my wedding and couldn't be happier.
Now the problem, on our honeymoon I ended up gaining 9 pounds. That really did not bother me too much. I kept running and in October of 2006 I ran my first 5k. I was obsessed with running. I really wanted to buy a treadmill, but they are so expensive, I really couldn't. So I stopped running over the winter for a few reasons (ex. it was too dark, didn't want to get injured on the ice, etc.) So over the winter I gained another 5 lbs of pure fat (plus a lot of my muscle I worked so hard for turned to fat). So when I started running again in the spring, I developed a stress fracture and had to wear a walking cast for almost 2 months. I couldn't do any excercising. By the time I got home from work, I was so exhausted from lugging that thing around all day, I would just go straight to bed. So here I am 2 months post-boot, and I am ready to start running again, but I am scared I will just re-injure myself. So I am going to start running again slow and start Weight Watchers and see what happens.
