Another Year, A Few More Lbs.

Well, it's almost 2009 and I'm facing the same issues I've confronted since I was 12 years old. Weight loss. As fate would have it, I've yo-yo'd again and am nose to nose with my all time least favorite New Year's Resolution of the year...take off 10-15 pounds. Why this resolution is on my list every single year is beyond me, but I guess it must have something to do with the pizza, fried dough and glasses of wine I've been enjoying this holiday season.

And so, here I am back at square one. Thankfully, I just received a package of goodies from Weight Watchers - they must have been reading my mind - or maybe they saw a recent picture or video of me on the web. Plus, they just launched a new program called Momentum and anything with the word "Mom" in it is right up my alley. Either way, I've got my pantry stuffed with diet cookies, cakes, sponge cake and more and I even have my Wii Fit socks on this morning because I'm planning on hopping on my Wii Fit balance board so I can start shedding some lbs.

Recently, I met an amazing mom - Julie over at Cool Mom Guide who managed to take off over 70 pounds thanks to the Wii Fit so this year, I am truly going to make a commitment and hop aboard. Sure, the thing is going to tell me that I gained weight since the last time I stopped on by (it's been 300 days since my last workout), but better late than never. Julie even started her own fitness group called Wii Fit Mommies that I plan to sign up for too. Maybe I can connect with other chubby Miis (like me) online!

So you heard it here first - I'm going to get back on the Weight Watchers wagon while working out on my Wii Fit. Check back with my on January 30 and I'll let you know how I'm doing - hey - you never know - maybe I'll reach my goal by then - or at least my Mii might be a little smaller.
