We went away for the weekend. We are back and I totally lost motivation.  I can't even seem to get motivated to keep up with my walking goals.   I figured hey I really don't need to lose THAT much.  I am ok the way I am.   And I am!  But, I have been creeping up.  I don't feel as good as I did when I was maintaining a good diet and walking almost daily.  (By diet I don't mean a "diet" in the usual sense of restrictive eating.  I mean a generally healthy way of eating.")

I was planning on deleting my May Day button and not blogging anymore about it. Then I was browsing this morning and read this.  

If I don't get those lifestyle changes consistent.  I will just keep creeping back to the way I was. I can't believe I am going to do this but...... here are my  before - after pictures from a few years ago. 

Quality is not good because these have been posted on my fridge for a few years.  Currently I don't look like the before.... but I would love to get back to the after.  .........  And I will!

So all that to say I have not gained..... but I have not lost either.  I set a new walking goal for June.... here it is the 5th, I better get started. 

I also better blog about something more interesting than diets!!  

Idid it!   I bought a juicer.

Just last week I was discussing healthy eating with a friend of mine. She mentioned really liking her juicer. I was out this morning yard saling and what did I find??

Yep a Champion Juicer. $50.00  - I bought it.

I told my husband and he rolled his eyes and said are we gonna have 50 bucks worth of juice?

So I need your HELP!! I need juice recipes for REALLY yummy stuff. Even if it is not the most healthy thing out there. As long as it is moderately healthy and REALLY yummy. I need to proove that this was not a dumb idea. I know nothing about juicing.

BTW I also went to a Library book sale. Now have 3 boxes of new books. I wonder why the library is getting rid of these really good books? I don't get it.

I also found Elementary Apologia Zoo 1 at another yard sale...... for a buck.  I already have it but I couldn't pass it up.   I'm giving it to my friend.

A local bank was giving lunch away. So we got free lunch too.

What a fun morning.

Ok so I am late already.  I was supposed to post this yesterday.  But I am not giving up. 
The instructions for the May Day Challenge are to give your weight story. 

I had my last son 4 years ago this month.  This pregnancy I got HUGE!!  After I had him I lost a bit of baby fat but not nearly enough.  I am NOT telling how much but it was definately NOT where I wanted to be.  I was motivated and my DH was motivated enough for me, that he said ok to weight watchers.  I always thought it would just be a rip off.  It can get expensive.  I went to meetings for about a month and was losing fast!!  I decided that the meetings themselves were really not doing me any good.  I didn't know anyone and so acountability was not really there for me.   However I continued following the program on my own, journaling and wieghing myself  weekly. I continued to lose.  A total of 29 pounds.  I walked almost daily, I felt good, my husband LOVED it.  

I am now 15 pounds above my goal weight and I am refusing to go there.  I need to buy bigger jeans.....   NO!   I refuse. 

So here I am.    I am in!  

I will post:
gains and losses weekly
how many days I walked - (I need to see if I can find that little walker ticker again)
how many days I reached my water goal
