The Freshman 15 !!!!

I always knew what that expression meant but never really had a problem with it until this semester. I officially gained the Freshman 15 during this last semester. : (

I went through the whole fall semester loosing weight on Phentermine. My 3 months of Phen were up when I signed up for the Spring semester, so therefor with stress and poor management in my eating I gained 15 of the 37lbs I lost back in the Fall.

So now that this semester is over .... I am starting over, to loose the 15 I just gained back. I'm willing to put forth the effort w/out Phentermine this time BUT I do know if needed I am eligible to go back on it!

So this week starts off with Journaling my food AGAIN ! This tool seems to work for me the best, because I can actually see where I am at on my calories throughout the day! Then it's back to weighing and measuring my food. Portion control is sooooo important. NOW just try explaining that to my husband. WE may have to go back to making leftover size portions after everyone get their plates so there is no temptation for seconds and thirds.

Now that summer is approaching and the kids will be home more it will be easier to get out and do things with the kids. Every year we buy a Family Summer Pass for ALL the public pools at the JR Highs in our city so we can enjoy some cool, fresh and relaxing family time. Helps with fitting a little swimming exercise in while the kids play. EEK !!! guess that means I need to get my butt in gear so I can look somewhat decent in a swimming suit!

So wish me luck !!! Time to get my butt back in shape!
Definitely plan on blogging my progress now that I have freed up most of my time (Spring Semester is over).
