OK, I've finally put my mind to it and I'm tracking and measuring and doing everything right this week. Better than last and much better than the last 6 weeks. Let's hope there is a change in the number this week at weigh in!
I've re-evaluated all my eating, adding in my fruits and veggies (which are so darn expensive this time of year!) and I've watched what will fill me up rather than just eating junk food to get some points. It also helps that there is NO birthday cake in the house! No cake, no cookies, no junk food that I will eat unless it's my junk food anyhow (100 Calorie Hostess cakes, for example).
I've got my fingers crossed. The only thing I haven't intergrated back into my routine is exercise. I usually walk and it's been snowing for 2 days. Plus the kids and hubby were home (except for today) and I'm NOT using an exercise video in front of them - thank you very much!!! There will be no exercise tomorrow either. I'll be out at one appointment after another all day. So, let's hope the weighing, measuring and tracking works!

Lost... and Found...
I'm alive and I haven't given up. I sure felt like it the other day though! I've been back to tracking for a week and just like in the beginning, tracking is hard and takes some dedication and getting used to.
Over the last 6 weeks, I've lost and gained the same 1.5 pounds. I fluctuate from loosing 21.8 pounds to 20 pounds. I haven't made it to my 10% goal yet and you'd think that would get me excited but nope, not yet. I'm still kinda taking my time. For a while I was frustrated with my efforts. Last week, it was a tough week. Not only was it a tough week personally but financially and emotionally. OK, I think financially and emotionally go hand in hand! If you don't have the funds to buy good food, it's impossible to diet and eat healthy. Really, it just is!
Things aren't 100% better this week but I forwent some of the junk food for some of the less expensive fruits and veggies. Let's hope it keeps me on track.
Well, I wanted to update this blog and let everyone know I'm still trying. And after taking an hour to update my other blog, I really must get some work done today. More later!
