On my way back...

After having one of the roughest months I have had in a long time I am on the road to “weight” recovery.  All of the important areas took a hit, proper foods, overly stressed, limited time for exercise and lack of sleep led to a disastrous weigh in.  I know this is an ongoing battle but I am looking to get revved up again.  The great weather has helped to eliminate some of the excuses that could have crossed my mind and make me think, if a lot of other people can do it, why not me? 

 

My mom has been an inspiration, down 72 pounds so far this year.  She has some difficulty getting around and I look at myself and say, she can do it, so can you.  I am pulling some inspiration and determination from you mom!  Now time to sign up for the Johnny Cake Jog!

Getting back on the wagon

After one of the most stressful months in recent memory, it is time to get back on the wagon and start losing weight.  Between the lack of sleep and work stress it has been nearly impossible to lose any weight.  I have had a few people say, “it looks like you lost weight”.   It is hard to accept those compliments since I have been level or gained a couple back.  The clothes that were starting to fit better have been telling me “it ain’t happening”, and that is all I need to know.

 

New plan:

 

-          Sit down today and put workouts on the schedule for the next two weeks.  Make that my non-flexible schedule

-          Start juicing more

-          More water

-          More fish

-          More sleep

 

That is the start.  With my daughter getting married at the end of the year, I need to look my best. So off and rolling…
