Time to get back on the wagon

In more ways than one!  I hate that I start new things like blogging and then just give them up because I am too lazy to put in the effort.  So here goes trying again.

In conjunction I am trying to get back on the diet/ healthy lifestyle wagon again.  I am for the most part given up soda.  Maybe have 1 or 2 a week but only diet.  Which compared to multiple Dr. Pepper's a day is a great leap forward.

I had really just stopped trying.  Between working 60ish hours of night shifts a week and taking 2 classes it just seemed too much.  But I finally one day got back on the scale to be horrified.  I knew my clothes felt tighter but it was worse than I had imagined.  Not only have I gained back all I ever lost a couple years ago I got to 9 lbs over my highest weight.

So with my schedule I am giving the slim fast plan a try.  And so far its good.  I can grab a meal bar before class and a snack to have during then make a good meal when I get home.  And then drink a shake when I get off work and just want to go to bed.  Almost a week in and I am down 4lbs. 

Hopefully this proves to be something I can stick with!

As for school all is well there.  I enjoy the material and am pulling an A at present in both classes.

Going to do my best to make this a weekly update at least concerning the weight loss journey.  Even if I am the only one who sees it there is a bit of accountability involved and gives me something to look back at later.
