Let me start by congratulation everyone that has started a program, has had success with a program (especially BabyBlue!!), and those who know that they need to jump back on the wagon. I am in the third category. Sigh....
I have gained about 5 to 6 pounds from my lowest weight. That's because I am have gotten EXTREMELY lazy. Not to mention I am poor and couldn't afford my gym membership anymore. I have no idea when was the last time I set foot in the Y. I have entertained the thought of just seeing how long I can get by at various gyms on guest memberships. LOL! I'd probably get busted. So, the new plan is to go it alone with my good ol' trusty treadmill, resistance bands, swiss ball, and (maybe) my Billy Blanks Boot Camp dvds. Something must be done.
I have also decided that I am no longer going to "restrict" my eating. I have realized that the more I "deprive" myself of certain things, the worse off I am. Therefore, I am going to eat the same foods that I have been eating, however I am just going to scale down my portions. I am also going to try to keep track of what I eat. I am going to have to figure out a way to log onto SparkPeople daily. I know that my weight was "under control" when I was logging into SP daily. I haven't been able to log on since I don't have internet at home.

I was able to roll up on a stray internet signal today. I've been online for about 9 hours now! Boy, how I've missed being able to use the internet at home! I hope this signal hangs on until I can get my finances back in order.

So, I'm going to check to see if I can log on to SP from work. If so, that will allow me to take care of breakfast and lunch. And with a pre-planned dinner, this may be doable. I'm going to start again tomorrow. If I can't log on, I'll just have to go old school and use the good ol' paper and pencil method.
I KNOW that exercise is my problem. When I was working out, I ate the same way, but was losing. Now, the pounds are just creeping back on me. This is UNacceptable. It's about time to turn this thing around.
