Sorry for the hiatus from blogging, but this summer was super crazy and I didn’t take the time to post. Don’t write me off as a lost cause just yet, I have still been reading blogs and thinking about posts, it’s just a matter of getting them in writing. So, I am apologizing up front.
When it comes to weight loss, I have been on cruise control for the past several months, oh let’s be honest… since the beginning of summer. The good news, I have stayed within a couple of pounds of where I was in April all summer long. The bad news is that I have let myself get too comfortable at this weight. I know I still have more to lose and can tell when I am not eating healthy. My body just doesn’t feel as good. My moods fluctuate and I feel out of control.
Now that school is back in session and things are more routine around the homestead, I hope to get myself back on track also. I need to focus on my portion control. I have been eating foods that are better for me the last several months, but not entirely and not really listening to my body, acting more on my wants. This has to stop. I also need to focus on exercise. Sadly, I have not done any exercise all summer long (unless you count chasing after my kids….you would think that would yield greater results for as much as I feel I do it, but I guess not!). So it’s time to step it up! For the next 30 days I am going to watch what I eat (more closely than I have been) and work out (at least 4 days a week, hopefully more).
Hopefully with these two things combined I will be able to get myself out of this weight loss slump (if you can call it a slump, when really it was just me being lazy). I am ready to start moving and again and seeing some results! We have no set plans for Labor Day Weekend, so I hope this will be my time to get organized and get back in control! I want to feel good about myself again!
