I'm Baaaack!

So I tried to stay on my fitness plan without the assistance of MFP and wow, it did not go well! As of this am, I have gained back 10lbs and am SO angry at myself! I turned 50 in January and do NOT want all the 30lbs that I lost while using MFP as a tool to creep back on! I realize now how it happens to people who lose weight. If I don't track what I am eating and the calories burned, it is going to happen to me, too! I do NOT want that to happen!

I got to the point where I felt good, only wanted to lose another 10lbs and thought I could slack off the routine of tracking and still do it, as I had learned what I could eat and how much I need to workout..only, I also fell back into old habits of not measuring/weighing my food and snacking too often...I cut back a bit on my workouts,too. I still workout 5-6 days/week, but not as intensely. I am not running anymore, either at the gym or outdoors..I have been having wine or other cocktails more than 1X/week, too. I know what I have to do, but I wasn't doing it anymore....

I am going to get back on track TODAY! As much as I found tracking every morsel I put in my mouth difficult because it was tedious or boring or I would forget, I realize now that it is just something I have to do! I need to do it to be accountable and to keep the weight off. I am so angry at myself for letting the weight creeep back up!! I am not going to be just angry anymore, I am going to do something about it now! I don't look forward to tracking,but I do look forward to the support I got from reading everyone's posts here and by being able to post myself when I had something to ask or say..

Thanks for listening!
