Today has been a real reality check for me! I stepped on the scales and much to my dismay I had gained 8 lbs from my last weigh in. Some of this is easily explained by nature but no way in hell is it all from that! It is the middle of the day when I'm weighing in too so I will check again in the morning to be sure! I really need to get this weight off. I think I have been getting these headaches lately because I have high blood pressure! It is often found in my family so it is very likely! I have to get my ass in gear for my little girl. I can't be doing this foolishness anymore.
I have tried every motivation on the planet so maybe the fear of stroke or death will get my ass moving! I have been 100% today so far and I signed up for my fall classes a few minutes ago! 8am 3 days a week water aerobics. I have chosen a schedule this sememter that will allow me time during the day to go to the gym instead of having to plan for a sitter to be able to stay. I will be going 5 days a week this time so on the tuesdays and thursdays I will be able to do weight training. Hopefully this will really help me out, mixed with remembering to drink all the water. Those are my new goals. I may even strap on my pedometer after reading how many calories have to be burned to lose 150 lbs!!(Thanks Karon and Paul) Here's to getting my ass in gear and my head on straight! My little Angel needs me forever. And I have too many things I want to do and people I want to meet to keep screwing around.

It seems like this past weekend was an eye opener for lots of us. I ate myself back to my NS Blogger challenge starting weight and I feel all I accomplished during the month was thrown away.
I am still feeling crappy from TOM, but once that has passed, I plan on getting back in line as close to 100% that I can.
We can do this!
I know how hard it is to make this kind of commitment. Stay focused, think of Amy and all the health issues. As someone dealing with high blood pressure, once you are there other things will start to go wrong unless you take action. Good luck with the new exercise program.

Sherri, this is a struggle for all of us. Each of us understands what you are going through (although I personally can't relate to that female thing) and is here to support you.
I am proud of you for starting a new exercise program. That will go a long way to getting you back on track.
By the way, Amy would be proud of you too. And will be thankful.
Thank you all! I know this is the one place I can get all the support I need. Together we can do this I just know it!
Sherri-
You are right, those 8 pounds are not fat. Probably water. I would get all your water in for a few days then try again. They'll be gone in no time. You can do this!
