Mamavation Monday - Been so long

It's been so long since I had been exercising, eating right and drinking tons and tons of water. I had a wake-up call couple weeks ago when the scale showed 354lbs. That's when I started counting my points from Weight Watchers and eating right. Been trying to eat more food that's better for me to eat. Been looking around for yummy recipes trying to eliminate lots of sugar and oil/butter. Over the weekend, I bought some Larabars. Oh my goodness! I love it! It's all natural! The one I tasted so far was the Cashew Cookie. It only had cashews and dates. I believe it is 100 calories. I recommend it. *smiles* I've been drinking tons of water again. Been drinking over 160 oz of water cuz of my weight. I'm working my way back to 10,000 steps a day. It's after 4pm and so far I've gotten over 6000 steps. Whoo hoo! Now all I need to do is keep going and get another 4000 steps. Oh, yes, I did weigh myself today. I'm at 338lbs. Same as I was on Friday. I think I didn't lose any over the weekend cuz I was at my uncle's for the weekend. Friday was my son's birthday so had to celebrate with him. Saturday, I didn't get as much steps I wanted to get cuz my son was performing. It was a long drive from my uncle's to the middle school. Reason for that was so my grandparents could go and see the play while my uncle played music somewhere else. But seriously, I think I did a great job cuz I didn't gain any weight. *smiles* My gram loves to try and feed me. LOL. I had to tell her no to a lot of stuff. If I'm gonna be going up every weekend this summer, I better be taking my own food with me. I look forward to the day I weigh 325 again. I'm aiming for that weight by the time my son gets out of school. Then it's off to 300 lbs and I was planning for that to be by the end of summer. *smiles* Think I can do it? I KNOW I can do it. I'm so glad to be back! I've wasted enough time. It's time to get back to living life again!
