I'm accepting it... I've gained weight

I've always been one to say "you don't just wake up one day and can't see your toes" when people claim that they have no idea how they gained a ton of weight. Though I'm not where near that point, I have to admit that I have gained 45 pounds since I started college. Though I never gained the "freshman 10" or "sophomore 15", I gradually gained weight with new prescriptions and with changes in lifestyles. Such as moving home so I don't walk around a campus full of hills and stairs all day and now that I work full-time, I work 40 hours a week and sit staring at a computer. Not that best way to combat weight gain.

I'm grateful that I don't hold all my weight in one spot, so it doesn't look like I've gained almost 50 pounds, it's still annoying when pants you bought a couple months ago don't fit..

. boo! I work out a lot with friends from work during lunch, I think the weight lifting and lack of carido just worked against me. So I've started doing the cycling class a couple days a week to balance out the weight lifting, but it doesn't seem to be working to the extent I would like.

Well with all that said, I have decided to join Weight Watchers with a co-worker and my mom in hopes to lose at least 20 pounds. My goal is 30 pounds, but realistically I need to think in baby steps and celebrate the small successes :)

Taking this new step in my life, I'll be posting good recipes and some stories about meetings and whatnot about my new journey :)

Until next time...
