Has it really been almost a month since someone last updated RTBA? Eeek! Well I'll give a quick update with my progress. About seven weeks ago I rejoined Weight Watchers, and although it's been a slow process, I'm finally seeing that number inch its way down on the scale. I no longer feel completely disgusting about myself, which is great!

My husband has been my biggest supporter for trying to lose weight—not in a condensending way, but in a way that he understands I have to do this for me. He keeps me in check with the things I eat and makes sure I'm tracking everything for WW, and we go on walks with our dog and he keeps me accountable for working out during the week.

So I know it's not a huge loss, but in seven weeks I'm down 2.2 pounds. This is a slow and steady process. I know I didn't gain those twenty pounds over night, so I can't expect to shed them quickly.

How are you guys doing? Do you have a supporter helping you along with your journey?

We're Princesses!

We're Princesses!

In seven months my mom, (hopefully my) sister-in-law and I will be walking in the Disney Princess 5k around Disney World in Orlando, Florida!

My mom signed up this week and I'm so incredibly proud of her for taking this step and I really hope my sister-in-law can complete it with us (she and I still need to sign up). I've heard nothing but great things about this event, so I'm sure it's going to be great.

I have several friends from Georgia who are driving down for the 1/2 marathon, so it'll be fun to see them, too! Now I just need to get my butt in gear and start gearing up for this 5k!
