So since last time...

After losing 40lb and getting very fit, and knowing exactly how to do it right, I relaxed a bit.

I stopped counting calories. Was eating reasonably. Was not gaining weight. Added a daily giant, awsome coconut cream doughnut to my breakfast. Was exercising regularly and was not gaining weight.

Than added eating a massive cheat meal from 1-2 meals a week to a bit more. Than few drinks quite often to relax with hubby at night... Started gaining very slightly, like a pound in 2-3 months.

Than I got sick and my child got sick, and my husband got sick, and he had lots of overtime and so I almost did not exercise for 3-4 weeks. GAINED 5LB. Real pounds, not water weight. I could not go back to cutting calories when I was used to eating so much more.

And, after a 5 day vacation (eating out and few drinks every day) gained 3lb, even though I exercised.

I'm still fit, but my awsome abs are now hidden by those extra pounds. And to add insult to injury, I've happen to gain those extra pounds right before summer and bikini season! Not fair.

Now I have 7-8lb to lose and have to resort to counting calories again, just to keep myself disciplined. I'd like to be 125, but I don't think I can reasonably do it in 2 months. But, I at least have to drop 3-4.
