Back to the Basics.

Ive been pretty steadfast in my MFPing for over 200 days. Alot happened in a two week period; I moved into a small old rental home that needed a lot of work, 40 percent of the staff was let go at my work; I was promoted and have been pulling double shifts almost every day, I got really sick-fever throwing up, cough and all that jazz but still had to work double shifts. I got so caught up in everything that I got away from the basics. I went through a really hard time about 6 months ago-a bad car accident that changed my life. Working out has been a huge part of my life since then. It gave me something positive to do, something I had control over and something to replace the drinking. This last week I got away from it. I was sick and tired and threw in the towel. I also ate Taco Bell and drank Sprite which I havent done since I started my journey. I also stopped tracking on MFP. The last month or so I would log on to MFP but would only log food hit and miss. I then decided to let my streak go, take a few days off and restart. This is more for me I guess, a promise that I will not go down the vicious spiral of bad food and no exercise. Ive lost 17 pounds and have about 8 more to go. I dropped 2 pants sizes and kick *kitten* at p90x. I dont want to lose that!!! Thanks MFP for being here when I was ready to come back!!


PS...Even though Im dissapointed in my self for slipping I am proud of my self not drinking or turning back to drugs. This weight loss thing is a journey and life happens; at least I found my way back and thats what we all need to remember!!!
