After I posted on New Years Day, I went to my couch where I found a VERY hungover Hubs suffering from a very fun New Years Eve dinner at East Coast Grill in Cambridge. We weighed in on the Wii Fit to get an idea of where we stood weight wise. 180 lbs. 51 pounds overweight for my height. The HEAVIEST I've ever been. I spend the day on the couch with Hubs, searching the iPad for healthy recipes and joining Weight Watchers.
Also, rather than just watching what was on TV, we watched HBO's documentary on Obesity in America. I seriously thought I was mere moments from death...of diabetes or heart disease or both! But it's the first time I looked at being overweight as a medical issue as opposed to a physical appearance issue. So I think that's where I might really stick to this thing. I really hope to be a mom someday and it would be a shame to raise kids and not be healthy enough to take care of them.
I had planned to make a nice chicken dinner with a salad for dinner, but it turned out all the running around lent itself to some foul smelling fowl (sorry) in the fridge and we had to make Shephard's Pie for dinner. Not the greatest choice, but it got rid of some leftover mashed potatoes that I would have likely nibbled on and not tracked eventually and it wasn't what we normally do when something goes wrong for the dinner plan - we didn't call for pizza.
