One, two... buckle my shoe

Started Weight Watcher's today. I think I've mentioned before that I'm a sucker for gold stars. We've got 14 weeks till we go to Hawaii. I know, at the weight I'm at now (250, in case you wanted to know), the tight plane seat would make for quite an uncomfortable ride. And, I don't feel like being embarrassed by having to ask for a seat belt extender in front of my children and new husband!

It's not like I haven't been on Weight Watcher's before. I've been on it more than a few times. They should give out plaques for those who "Try, try again." However, I haven't been on it with my new last name (kinda makes me feel like it's the first time), and the leader at my Wednesday meetings is new to Alaska and started as the leader last night too. So, we are both new, and are in this together.

I've made it to the gym a few times, but I'll be going more after we get back from Denali. I won Road Lottery tickets to drive into the park, and we'll be going all weekend. I have been hiking a lot though. It's blueberry season here, and the best places to pick just happen to be a 5 mile hike in to Symphony Lakes above Eagle River, AK, where I live. Blueberries are my favorite fruit, so I'd do anything to get the wild ones.

Hopefully, no DEFINITELY, by next summer, I'll be able to bend over to tie my shoe without having to crank my leg at an odd angle to do it on my lap! THAT would be a treat!

And, yes, I'm a little hungry, and a lot grumpy.
