About a year ago today...

I got off the Weight Watcher train. Weight Watchers was a wonderful tool for me! But I didn't want to be a lifetime member. I wanted to stand on my own two feet and live my life being accountable to myself. I wasn't sure I could do it. But I had to find out.

At the time I was 156.6. As of yesterday morning I am at 151.2. I have maintained my weight, by myself, for a full year. That seems so small..and yet so significant all at the same time. I really wasn't sure if I could do it. But I feel so proud to know that I did. Even though I had moments of weakness(lots of them)and spans of inactivity, I was always mindful of my body and how I felt.

And it worked! Amazing.

I'm starting this year by training for my first 5k. I'm terrified...and not at all sure I'll be able to do it (do you see a trend here). But I'm going to give it my best shot.
