Focus...

So, typing this is going to be a trial... not only because I have gained weight... but also because Grant removed a few key letters from my computer and I have yet to find them!
Let me give some background for this blog:

My name is Stephenie and in 2008 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I started out my pregnancy a little overweight and continued to overeat for the nine months of gestation. I had the misbegotten idea that the weight would melt off after the 8.3lbs of cuteness was delivered... it did... well the first 8.3lbs of it that is. After that though, not so much. I started to lightly walk/jog and watched what I ate. After much hard work I lost 70lbs and felt great. Then I found out I was pregnant with number 2. A few weeks after that I miscarried.

Looking back on the last few months since then, I am able to further understand my actions and better myself from those hard lessons. I blamed myself for the miscarriage. I was hiking and walking a lot when I lost the baby and I worry I over did it, and it contributed to my loss. I stopped working out and I started over eating. My energy turned to sluggishness that I combated with caffeinated soda and sugar. And all of the sudden I had gained back 10lbs.

So here I am, a little heavier than I would like, but eager to better myself for my family... past, present and future. I look forward to sharing my trails and triumphs along the way. I am using Weight Watchers as a guide so every day I will post my points total and every week I will update my weight loss. Today I start taking care of myself (not tomorrow after I gorge out on every bad thing in our kitchen, lol)
