January 2, 2014....
Wow. Where has the year gone? Crazy.
I reached my goal and then some but I couldn't maintain it because one of the craziest summers of my life dawned upon me and I couldn't teach myself how to sustain and maintain my weight!
I absolutely enjoyed my new body and how the clothes fit on me! I loved going to any store and immediately know my size and had great pleasure in the fact that the item fit well and looked good on me!
I also throughly enjoyed eating what I wanted, when I wanted and all to my heart's content!
It was fabulous... It was wonderful....
The reality of it is that I gained back some weight. Of course, I knew I would.
I still can fit into those clothes but some of them are quite snug....
The new year is here and I've been waiting for all the gatherings to finally dissipate. I still have to go out of town for a family gathering this weekend but I will focus on myself and my eating habits once again when the dust clears.... hopefully by early next week.
I'm back and with a vengeance to rid myself of the weigh that I KNOW I can!

I agree maintenance also takes work and is not easy. It is so easy to gain, but great when we catch ourselves before we are back to where we started, but of course never too late.
This is a lifestyle change and journey and a ride that we should not take for granted.
Anyhow, Happy New Year 2014......
Welcome back!
You already know what to do and how, now it's just going through with it..and what better time than the start of a new year, with a focus on what you would like to change by the next christmas.
I think you're going to be alright.
January 6
I finally came back into town (Canada actually) yesterday late afternoon. I tried to get in before a huge snow storm was supposed to hit. Unfortunately, the roads were bad and were getting worse when I got closer and closer. I ended up having to shovel at least one foot of snow before I could get the car into the driveway and unpack. It was crazy!!!
It kept snowing all night and this morning the busses and schools were cancelled! Yay! The kids were still exhausted from our revolving door two-week holiday and they could use a day of sleeping in and getting settled!
Well.... they got it!
I still have to go out and shovel yet another foot of snow! I should do it soon as there seems to be a lull in the snow falling right now. Also, the temperature is supposed to plummet to record breaking frigid temp. I don't want to be out there then!!!
Okay, enough of the weather forecast. lol
I've gained weight. Yup. I knew I would.
My weight this morning was 153.5 lbs. So... I've got to lose 13.5 lbs to get back to my goal of 140.
I don't have any groceries in the house and don't want to go out in this weather! I'll have to ride out the storm and get out and get some fresh veggies and fruit! I don't even have any meat in the house!!!
I want to do a detox soon... to jump start my weight loss....
I gained about 5 pounds this holiday season, leaving me (again) with 12 pounds to lose.
So, shall we all renew our journey to better health?
