Operation: Hot Mama - Week 1

Well, here we go... I went ahead and signed up for weight watchers and am contemplating a gym membership. Anyone out there in blog world doing the new 360 plan from weight watchers? Any favorite work outs that I simply MUST try? Any favorite recipes you would like to share with me? Yes people, I am fishing. I've been scouring Pinterest and a few other sites for "new" versions of my favorites but nothing epic so far.

You see, my love of food has been a life-long battle beginning at the early age of 12. I was a very active child and continued playing soccer and running track well through high school. Let's admit it, when you are 15 you CAN eat a foot long sub for lunch, cookies for a snack and a whopper and fries for dinner. Especially when you are running 3 miles as a WARM UP for soccer practice. So what about now? I still love subs, burgers, fries and just about anything else. What makes me weak in the knees? Chocolate. Cake. Brownies. I would say ice cream too but I'm lactose intolerant. :) The problem is I can no longer run 3 miles then work out for 2 more hours on a daily basis so I don't really have anything to counteract my love of food. Now add the baby weight. I gained about 35 lbs with baby J and lost 20 lbs pretty quickly but now here I am with an extra 15 lbs (on top of an extra 60ish lbs - yes, 60 - I'm only 5ft 2in) so most BMI charts say I should be somewhere around 130 lbs. Yikes. Long road ahead. But, like my last post said, a journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step. So here I go...
