I am happy to say that I think my workout regime is back in full force. I actually look forward to my gym time and think, "time to hit the gym" instead of "ugh I need to work out." I started Weight Watchers two weeks ago and the first week saw great strides but last week was holiday/vacation and it is all back. Just shows I can't just work out like the old days and lose weight. I really really need to stick to my diet plan of eating better, not just because I want to lose weight but because I honestly feel better when I do it.
I don't think I actually gained the weight back, I think I toned up because my clothes aren't tighter and I did start doing some weight lifting twice a week now. I am not a weights person but I know I need it. I do look forward to my eliptical runs where I watch the Amazing Race, I mix it up because just a long sustained run, hills or a heart rate/cardio burn run. It doesn't seem to matter if the Amazing Race is on. I have decided that I was meant to do that reality show. Now who would be a good partner for me? I seriously want to apply for it and think I would kick some major booty!
So I am back to charting what I eat and only having drinks on the weekends. I have taken up drinking a coke here or there because sometimes I just need some caffeine and I hate coffee and there is no Dew here. I take suggestions for other alternatives. My life is going pretty well here. As many of you know I had a rough spot a few weeks ago and I am happy to say things are going well. I think eating better and working out regularly has something to do with it. But also I'm just happy now (also because of those two things). I am learning to not sweat the small things and just go with the flow. Also learning to really enjoy spending time by myself and being ok with it. So life is good right now. Also the Packers winning the freaking Super Bowl helps. To be honest I haven't been able to sleep the last 3 nights because I was so excited for the game and then excited that we won. I am on cloud nine for my Packers!

Yay working out!!!!! We're on quite the roll, aren't we? :) I'm kinda proud of the fact that it's February, and we didn't punk out like everyone else with our "new years' resolutions." Go, team.
PS - lemme get skinny, and I'll SO be your partner. We would absolutely win the shit out of that game.
I know what you mean about truly feeling better when you're eating healthier and working out. I've been slacking the last 2 weeks again and I can totally feel the difference. Time to get off my duff and do something about it again.
I'm glad the workouts are going well! All that stupid stuff people say about physical activity "making you feel good" turns out to be right. Bah! Keep up the good work!
Yesterday at the gym, I watched the "Return to Titletown" coverage of the Lombardi trophy coming home. It was pretty cool. GO PACK, GO!
