Sorry it's been a while since my last post.
I need to admit that these last few months have been rough for me. Probably the worst out of the last 14months.
This post is what my good friend likes to call the B-Side of my life.
I'm not perfect. And as hard as I try to keep up the healthy living, it isn't always easy. But who wants to read about that? And I sure don't want to post about that, lol. But here we are...
Christmas threw me off. I ate cookies and potatoes and loved it all. But when the New Year came, I was ready to get back on track. And then that didn't happen. And then my Grandmother's health declined. I was home all day everyday, and we still had cookies and goodies around. And I ate my feelings. (I do much better when the junk food ISN'T in the house. Why? Well, because I am mostly too lazy to go out to the store to buy more, so if it's not here, I won't eat it.)
I was stressed and sad, and I snacked.
When my Grandmother passed away, I ate my feelings.
And this put me back in a pattern of bad habits.
Luckily, I didn't gain my 30lbs back. But I fluctuate between having dropped 35 and 30lbs. Some weeks it is by one pound, some weeks it is up to 5lbs.
We've also started eating out more (again). It is easier, and sometime more delicious than making dinner at home. (Have I mentioned that I hate to cook?)
All of this needs to stop.
I am looking forward to grilling out again, and I want to get a Ninja Foodie. (I need easy ways to cook or I get frustrated and then we order out or go out... it is what it is)
If I can lose at least 30lbs this year I will be satisfied. But more is better, and that is what I will strive for.
I do think what keeps me from gaining the whole 30lbs back is I might stray for one meal a day. or one day a week, but then the next meal I try to be healthy. On a positive note, at least I know how to maintain my weight once I get to my goal, right?
