in Getting Started
hey y'all--so, after numerous upheavals in the past year, i really let my healthy eating and exercise plan slide. couldn't snap out of it til i got word from my doctor this week that my cholesterol had gone up 30 points in the past year. Doh! Time to stop with all the cookies and candy and binge eating in front of the tv, and get back on track! feeling very good about it, too. Made two batches of healthy soup this week, e.g., and packaged it up for the coming week's lunches, started back on some mild exercise to build back up my energy and endurance...anyone else getting back on track?

    oh, but on the bright side, i did NOT go back to smoking--a 3.5 year quit still strong, so i got that going for me. :wink:

    Also getting back on track after a year of 'Gym? I'll go tomorrow' and 'Cake...ooh yeah!'. Well done on the no smoking, that's another slide for me...blah!! Onwards and upwards :smiley:

    Yes I'm trying to get back on track myself. I just had my 4th child the end of July, so the end of this month he will be 4 months old. I need to get this weight off, I have about 48lbs to get of to get to my pre pregnancy weight and then another 50lbs to lose. In total I need to lose 100lbs and hope to get there by next year :)

    Nice to know i'm not alone! just got myself outside for a walk, a little shopping, and back here for a bowl of homemade split pea soup. yum! starting to get the hang of this again. First day back, all i could think was, "is that all i get to eat???" great job, everyone, getting back on track--that's the first step.

    I am all set to start again tomorrow. Feel massive after a week off work with an injured back. Need to get back into it and stop eating cake.

    Maybe a good idea after a slide is to go for a run? Kind of shocks you into action I found!
