Finally Getting Somewhere!!

So about a month has passed since actual graduation, and in that time I have spent it getting myself back under control. I went digging in the garage and found my WW cookbooks, points plus calculator and my food journal... so happy about this because it means I can do weight watchers on my own with the use of the online community boards and I don't have to shell out over 40 dollars a month for meetings or 20 for online services. If I had the extra cash right now I wouldn't mind it, but honestly the only thing I will be missing are the meetings; fortunately for me though I have a group of really great supportive friends and family who can stand in when I need them to. My parents got me a gym membership a couple months back for my birthday, so I have been using that more and more each week along with my at home workouts and I have been managing to stay within my points limit each day. I plan to start photographing my meals again starting next week once I have my menu's planned out better. I really feel like that was key in me doing so well the first time on WW, it made me really accountable for what I was eating each day and I really feel that it will be a great this time around. Even though the last couple of months has been stressful with studying for my Ultrasound Registries I think that being more organized and taking out time of each of my days to work out has really helped me stay on track and I'm hoping that this time next year I will be able to look back and say that I made it to where I want to be... A healthier Skinnier me..                         
                                                                                                                                     
This is what I made for myself and some friends for dinner the other night it was excellent... Nothing quite like fresh steaks on the grill in the summer time!! I think next time we are going to grill up some romaine lettuce and do a Cesar salad to pair it with.
