The End of Summer is near -- at least the before the school year begins where I live. And the nice Autumn weather is coming.
What I've done this summer was fall back into old routines of eating, not working out, not thinking about my health and being a bump on the log.
I was doing great! Then family illness and passing happened -- and I got out of sorts with everything. Since our family lives in NJ, we were traveling to and from NJ, and I was traveling from working in between weeks of traveling to NJ. It was all so crazy. I was close to the next size, I was feeling comfident and I was feeling healthy.
The break in routine for 2 months played a huge part in my falling into the "same old dull routines" -- not to quote songs of the '70's -- And, why has it gotten so hard to get back on to the right track.
I don't know. Maybe lazyiness, maybe feeling self defeating because something happens usually when I'm at a certain mark in my healthly living. I don't know. Probably a lot of factors piled in.
What I do know, is that I try and to this journey without community and MFP friends. This group is really the only group I'm comfortable in. And, those on my friends list in the group have probably witnessed my in activity on MFP then my activity leading into in activity. It is a vicious cycle.
I do know that today I'm heading on the right direction. We're getting back into our routine in our home state, and looking forward to two vacations (one short, one long). We've started living a life again, and being a 100 pounds to lose (20 is my first goal), sometimes I forget to live and dwell on the physically aspects of my body. My husband gets frustrated and always asks "can't you just enjoy the day out and not worry about how the stupid picture turned out or how you look"
He's 100% right. I have to let go of the outward physcial appearance of my body and remember the journey I want to take and keep in contact with the group, keep connecting with my goals and live life, I mean it's not like I'm the only one faces certain unhealthy factors.
Thanks for Reading feel free to add me as a friend as well.
