Well, I've gained weight since I last wrote. I'm up to 195 pounds. I don't even crave meat any more but it doesn't look like I'll ever give up cheese. I love my creamy soups. I'd probably do better at Weight Watchers if I actually tracked. I don't quit though because I enjoy spending time with my mom on Monday evenings when we go to our weekly meetings. Today we talked about setting goals to meet before Thanksgiving. I'm going to try to track more. I tracked one day last week. I'll aim for 2 days this week. I started a dance class at the local community college in August. I'm not so sure that was a good idea with my Fibromyalgia but it has been interesting. I am definitely capable of more than I thought. Though I am in a lot of pain. I don't know if it's caused by the dance class or stress or just the change of the seasons but the pain has been so bad that I missed a few days of work last week and went to the emergency room. Their solution was narcotics. I don't want to do that. I'm going to go with massage and chiropractic care instead.

In the beginning....Being the perfectionist I am that should start at birth but then I would never get this blog going. The beginning is going to start today. I have been struggling with my health but as far as this blog is concerned my journey starts today. I'm not the fattest I've ever been, the skinniest I've ever been or the sickest I've ever been but my journey starts today. I am a member of Weight Watchers and I am a self proclaimed vegan that is fighting her addiction to animal products and diet coke. I weighed in yesterday at 191.6 pounds. That's really depressing because I was down to 180 pounds about a month ago. But I'll get there and this blog is part of my accountability. This picture is me with my granddaughter. Her chubby face is perfect and healthy. I know 'cause she is breast fed by my vegan daughter. My chubby face. Not so much. Hence, my journey that starts today. I'm only 41 years old. I want to live a long and healthy life and go to her baby's wedding.
