New Beginning

So, no longer living in denial of the weight I have gained, I joined Weight Watcher's yesterday morning.

I didn't expect the scale to show a pretty number and as much I like being right I was hoping I would be wrong in this particular instance. No sirree. The scale read 10lbs more than when I last officially joined WW about 4.5 years ago.

I have read mixed reviews about the new program, but my first few days I really like it. It would be much easier if I actually had the calculator, but unfortunately I will have to wait until somewhere near to the end of March.

It has been a long time since I've truly felt accountable. It feels good to have some sort of structure and accountability to myself, my meeting leader and the scale. I look forward to the next couple weeks to see how and if my body will adapt to this new lifestyle. Things promise to be interesting if nothing else.

New Little Man About Town

It has taken me quite some time to get pics up of the love of my life. Welcome to the world, my little prince, born Feb 8th, 7lbs 11oz! He shares his birthday with his Auntie Queenie (my oldest daughter).

Princess handled the rigors of labour with class and dignity.

This situation didn't start in a very positive way, but now I couldn't imagine my world without this most handsome little guy in it. He is the apple of his grandma's eye.

Books, Beach, Beer, Boy and Bling

Okay, so I didn't get back to update on the Resolution Run on New Year's day! The reason is a very good one. 3 days after I was on a plane to the Dominican. Cute Boy and I booked a week long trip with another couple to escape the rigors of everyday life. The trip was just what was needed by all. All I wanted was to be surrounded by books, beach, beer and the boy!

The weather was fabulous. The company even better. Big news came out of the Dominican! Cute Boy and I came home engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There has been some talk of marriage in the last couple months, but I was not expecting this. Not at all.

Cute Boy and I now have to go ring shopping. That should be fun because we are no where near close on a price point.

I am so happy I can't even tell you.

Bring on the divorce from the first marriage and let the planning and fun begin.
