Day One... Again.

I decided to be bulimic once when I was in high school. I stuck a toothbrush down my throat, then decided that was a bad idea. I started Atkins at the end of summer before my senior year. It worked. I lost like 40 pounds. I kept it all off too. Ironically until after my beer and liquor loving days of college. Then I slowly gained. I was up 15 pounds when I met my current boyfriend Josh 3 and a half-ish years ago. I was up another 25 pounds a year later.

Then, last summer, I was up another 36 pounds. That's 61 pounds in just those 2 and almost a half-ish years. Things were out of control. I joined Weight Watchers with Josh last summer. I lost 25+ pounds by last October-ish. Then quit. Gained back a couple pounds. Started Weight Watcher's online in January but didn't commit. So since January I gained oh like 5 pounds. But from my history, I know I will just gain and gain until I'm a blimp. So I restarted Weight Watchers today.

Why is this time different? I have no idea. Even back in January I was so committed to sticking to it, knowing I could be down 25 pounds easy by summer. But here we are again. Day one of the rest of my life! Day one of my new diet! Day 100 is more like it. I've been on and off diets since I was like 15. I've probably lost 500 pounds through it all. But so I start again.

I'm really pumped about. I love Weight Watchers. It's practically fail proof if you stick to it. You can eat everything you love to eat. You don't have to erase entire food groups. No counting calories. Or counting carbs. I count points. I get 34. Whether I use points of broccoli or on a steak, it's up to me. And I can eat steak. And bagels. I just count my points.

Today was exciting. I usually hate to cook. But I decided to give it a whirl today. Pork tenderloin. Marinaded for 2 hours in orange juice, orange zest, jalapeno pepper, cumin. Roasted in the over with those little potatoes. Served with green beans. And what do you know? It was fracking delish! Perfectly tender and juicy pork! Great flavor, with some nice heat from the pepper.

I'm excited. I can't wait to cook my next meal!

Anyways. Welcome to my blog. It will mostly contain my Weight Watcher's stuff (recipes, my goals, my progress). But I suppose it will also deal with other stuff... work... school. Life.

See you again!
