Working my way back

Hello buddies! The site let me log in with ease this morning, so that’s the good news, very happy about that. My home page says I am listed as female, let’s see if that works.

The bad news…I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 9 lbs. I basically had been eating like a lunitic all last week. I know that a few of those are probably water retention from all the carbs, but at least 5lbs of it are real. I could just kill myself, well not kill myself…maybe just some well deserved flogging. I’m back on my diet plan as of yesterday, and I plan to workout this morning with the toning tape.

I have a brand new motivation now, I ran into my old music director from high school. He’s now working for the Community College, and is setting up a music program there. He’s also starting up a         ” Community Choir” and a jazz ensemble open to the public, and he asked me to join. I used to sing lead for him in both of those in school. I am really excited to get back on stage, I love performing.

Rehersals start in about 6 weeks, so hopefully I can get this 9lbs plus another 10 gone by then. I’d assume that we’d have another 2 months or so before our first performance, so my goal is to be 40lbs lighter when I take the stage for the first time in years.

I’m hoping that I’m able to get into all your blogs now, be well buddies.

    Well that’s awersome about being on stage and how motivating is that to get you back on track.  You can do it just stay committed to what you want.  I know it’s so hard.  One day at a time girl!!!

    I think just about everybody crashed and burned this past week!  I know I did.  I gained a couple of pounds but I’ve gotten the back off already.  But I’m surprised I didn’t gain a whole lot more than that!

    But you’ll be ok.  We all will.  We just have to keep looking forward and keep our eye on the goal!  Besides, what a great motivator you have!!!!Famous 11

    And don’t forget what I alway say…don’t let a little slipBanana Peel ruin your trip..
