It's been a long time.

I shouldn't have left you.

Wow, so I haven't posted since May huh? Well, lots have happened. Let me take you through (short version):

The Wedding
It was fabulous! I loved almost every minute of it. The week was great, lots of sunshine and beach. The actual wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! I am so happy for my brother and new sister-in-law.
A sad note, I gained about 5lbs there...we will get to my actual weight later!

June
Lots of trips were happening. Saw my BFF Michael in San Francisco. Did lots of things that I won't repeat. Ate and DRANK too much. Then met my Mom in Washington D.C. to sight see, then came back up to NYC for a few days. Again...ate and drank too much!

July
Enjoyed much of July by having Friday's off from work and loving the great weather. Saw lots of friends, had my cousin up from Jersey and again, ate and drank too much!

August
The final summer trip back to the Midwest for the wedding reception. Total fun...again, ate and drank too much!

Soooo today I stand at 205.6lbs. Yeah, you read that right. Summer has always been a difficult time for me. Everyone wants to go out to eat, meet for drinks, go to brunch. I didn't have my trainer anymore and my workouts (I was still working out 5-6 days a week) were not as intense as I needed them to be. I also threw caution to the wind and ate more than my share worth of Flexies each week. I did manage to weigh in almost every week and I did see the gains and didn't stop myself. Until now.

I am taking back control. After getting my promotion and raise, I am back with my trainer Roger. I love him, he makes me work! Also, I started to attend WW meetings on Thursdays at 12:15. I have a friend who also does WW and we are going together. Its nice to think that I'm not alone, that there will be one friendly face in the crowd.

I read somewhere that life is easier being OP (on program). Its completely true. My life (and health) are much better when I am eating and working out correctly. So Internet world of blogging, please welcome me back!
