OK TIME TO GET BACK IN CHECK!!!!!!

OK!!!!! So here's the story, I am a very weight conscience and always have been, I was an overweight pre-teen and have always gone up and down since.  When I had my first son I was 130 pounds at 5' 10" and exercised like crazy after I had him to go back down and although I def dropped the weight my body changed, ok I can handle that. WELL about 3 years ago my weight went up to about 170 and needless to say it was a result of poor eating and drinking ( I'm Italian I have wine with EVERYTHING!) I became pregnant with my second child 16 months ago and was determined to shed my baby weight and reclaim my figure and I DID!!!! I joined Ladies Workout Express ( like Curves) and totally cut all forms of junk from my diet ( except the VINO) I went down to about 145 and really felt proud and healthy. Well my gym has closed, going on about 5 months now and the holidays werent all that successful in the dieting department and I'm totally feeling the aftermath.  I feel my clothes getting tighter and the scale, enemy #1 is telling me I've gained 10 pounds!!!!!!! I'm so disappointed in myself! I've decided to buckle down and get my ass in gear!!!! Luckily I was very good friends with the woman who owned the gym I worked out at so when she sold it I purchased the Execise Bike that i used all of the time for cardio and it's been sitting in my room being used as a place to throw my clothes on, NOT GOOD!!!!! I'm going for it and taking no prisoners!!!!! I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE to walk and jog, but this weather is a killer so in the mean time it's me and the Exercycle.  Ok so the exercise part is out of the way, now for the food!!!! I need help in that department.  I love to cook and do it almost, if not every night but I have kids and a hubby who arent really open to all my healthy recipes.  If it's not covered in cheese thet dont want it!!!  I've always toyed with the idea of weight watchers but am scared that the food is sub par, UUUGGGHHHHH what to do........

WTF!!!!!!

GRRRR! That's all I have to say!!  About a month ago my husband and I decided to purchase a new living room set, which sad to say was so exciting!!  Anyway, we went to Bob's in Warwick and had a very pleasant experience shopping and our sales person was very helpful and patient!!!!! AND THEN-After we paid for the couch, scheduled the delivery date and went on our merry way the drama began.  I recieved a phone call telling me that 1 of the pieces of the sectional wouldnt be in until the 12th of January, so ok, no big I'll reschedule.  So now it's yesterday, the BIG day, I steamed cleaned the rugs, the whole 9 in preperation for my beautiful sectional!!!!! I was told that I would be getting a call between 1-3 letting me know they were on route and to have someone over the age of 18 there if I could not be to accept delivery.  4 rolls around with no call, no couch so I call to check in only to be told that I have no order to be delivered and I obviously had made a mistake!!!! WHAT?????? After speaking to 3 service reps and then a manager I finally found out that at the time of payment the young lady at the desk entered in the incorrect customer number and my sectional was on it's way to a Spanish couple in Weymouth Mass!!!!!!!!! Well needless to say I was not a happy camper and my Italian temper switched on to HIGH!  I totally understand that mistakes happen and am sympathetic to them BUT NOT when I'm being blamed for someone else's mistake.  After a very long and heated conversation my couch is now being delivered NEXT thursday and Bob's is waving the delivery fee and sending me a $200 gift card to their store, hmmmmmmm not all that impressed............
