Well for a few days I was really into the pilates (every other day because it was way too intense for an every day thing to start) and yoga, and then it went bad. My older sister asked me to babysit my nephew all of last week. I was there for nine days and ate the most horrendous foods you could imagine for someone on a diet. Hot pockets (in all fairness, I ate a couple lean pockets), spaghetti, corn dogs, pizza, and one day a 5 dollar footlong from subway.

I didn't exercise (although I spent 9 hours cleaning their house so that must count a little) and caught a TERRIBLE cold. I thought it was allergies, but it got so bad I lost my voice, couldn't think clearly and developed the worst phlegmy-cough. I even quit smoking that week--cold turkey, and I do feel much much better now.

So on Easter I took my nephew over to my mom's house to have a nice ham lunch type thing, when I found ou tmy grandma had passed away that morning. This is a story I will blog about not on the goal update. It was a HUGE shock and my sister did not want my nephew to find out until she came home, so I had to smile and act like EVERYTHING was fine, when I was grieving terribly. What is a normal response to grief? Stress eating. So I ate....and ate...and ate.

So this week I have decided to start my regimen back up. I'm in a new relationship with my best friend and he is The One--I am SURE of it. I've never been with a guy who makes me feel so good about myself. Who has been there through everything and encourages me to be better, do better and be myself...fat or thin, sick or healthy. He's there for me and I love it.

I just weighed myself to see where I'm at. 159.9. So hopefully now that I am back on an exercise and diet cycle things will start to drop. I hope so!!! It's almost swimsuit season....
