Trying to concentrate on the good ;)

My head is pretty crowded, and I don't feel that emptying any of it onto the keyboard is going to help me right now.

Still, I can't help but smile every time I write the date down today... because it reminds me that I'm getting married in one year.

And the main reason we're here:
Beginning Weight (April 27, 2011): 174.4 lbs
Current Weight: 168.6
Week 9 Weight Loss/Gain -2.6 lbs
Total Weight Loss: -5.8 lbs

Here we go again!

I feel like I'm telling the same sad story over and over again, but I hope you don't view it that way. I'd like you all to see it as every time I falter, I pick up and start again.

Life is busy, so busy that my head was in a spin this past weekend and I spent a bunch of it trying to just not be anxious about it. Work is horrible, school is a drag, and we had a bit of a wake up call regarding just how much we're spending on this wedding.

But through all of the above, I still want to achieve my health goals. So back on track I go.

The biggest change today is that I'm going back on the old school WW program. It's the only thing that has ever worked for me, and I was upset that I had to abandon it. Since WW won't support the old program anymore, I'll have to go off the official books.

I'm continuing to use myfitnesspal to track and am translating all the information into a spreadsheet with the old points calculation. I hope that this will give me the umph needed to really get going.

This is also the last week whereby I have so much on my plate that I can't go to the gym. I realize that I have to make time to do so, but I am stretching that time pretty thinly as it is. It's also damn hard to plan. My night is essentially written off since the transit in this city gets one nowhere fast.

Then again, something worth doing is rarely easy.
