Weighty issues

Since quitting smoking in February, I have gained an unhealthy amount of weight. About 30 lbs. I now weigh more than I did during all of my pregnancies. Wow. Needless to say, I am completely ashamed of myself. Now I have to repair the damage.

On the menu: Weight Watchers and training for the Monument Ave. 10k. The hubs and I are also participating in a research study at the University of Richmond. It's following couples that are trying to lose weight together. More about that later.
