Ups and Downs

Ups and Downs are to be expected or so it said when I posted my weight today.  But today, it was a gain.  My first to post here on buddyslim.  It’s only 2 pounds but still hard to see.  I have lots of reasons I could rationalize my gain on, TOM, too much salt, etc. But nonetheless its still a gain.  I’m just more motivated now to get back on track.  I still want to reach my next mini goal before my vacation in July.  I totally think that it is doable.  I just have to get focused.  So I’m cutting out all fried foods, which is not much.  Upping my water.  My fridge is stocked with healthy foods and my garden should help.  I have lots of fresh veggies.  I have also started wearing my pedometer again.  I got over 4 miles today at work.  I also finally got my key for the work out room downstairs at work, I just have to make myself take the breaks to use it.  So, here I go- back on track!

Still here….

I have not posted in a long time, but I’m still here.  I have not given up but my efforts have stalled somewhat.  I have been so busy with work and life and so very stressed that weight loss has seemed to have taken a back burner.  I did have a small gain recently and couldn’t bring myself to post my weight last week but I am now back to where I was.  I am doing better this week.  I cooked and brought my lunches to work- no ordering out (this is a big one).  I have been drinking more water, and yesterday I was so busy at work- I wish I had worn my pedometer- I’m sure I got in at least 10 miles, no joke. 

So I have made up my mind, time to get back on track!  I have got to get motivated and get serious and drop some more weight.  I have one month until my vacation and I would love to reach my next mini-goal by then.  Wish me luck!!!
