I have been down for the count for the last few months.So much happening including the surprising passing of my stepbrother, the suicide of a friend, family member's illness, tons of snow days, and job stress. When I went on a trip I rediscovered yet again how basically fat I am and how out of shape I am. Now that things are starting to get back to a more familiar place and I'm back home I have to put my life back together. I need to lose weight. I need to be able to hike. I need to be able to move, travel, swim, dance, climb, and just in general participate in life. I don't want to be afraid aymore or not do things because I can't or won't risk public humiliation. How do I make these changes? How do I stay motivated and strong? How do I change my life and fully live?

Bueller. Bueller. Ferris Bueller. lol Okay so I at least have a sense of humor still.

    Hey chicky! Sorry to hear about your rough few months. That would be enough to trip up even the toughest competitor. I am feeling out of it at the moment too. Maybe we could try getting back on track together?!? I was doing really really well for the first 6 weeks, was staying under my calories, eating healthy food, exercising daily, I was an ANGEL over christmas. I lost 2.5lbs over the christmas week, but then slowly but surely all of my old habits started sneaking back in and now I'm back to the way I used to be. I haven't gained back any of the weight i lost but I sure haven't moved the scale in the other way either. I'm fed up with being mad at myself. I ate like crap today but I did workout twice this afternoon to try and make myself feel better about the calories I ate. Me and my boyfriend are trying to do this together and he is really good about his eating. I am so proud of him and disappointed in myself at the moment. Ok, that's enough of a history lesson for now!

    Keep your chin up, I know we can do it! I'm here if you ever need to chat, or need your butt kicking ;)
