In spite of myself, I'm still plugging along. April brought things that I knew would be hard and possibly stressful. So, I decided at the beginning of the month to give myself a pass--on everything.
To keep it in the road and try to maintain. There was not a loss in site for April, but to finish the month up +2.8 is a success in my book. Trust me, my last weigh-in of the month I expected it to be a 5 pound gain all by itself, so I was pleasantly surprised.
I worked Furniture Market. I missed workouts. I ate some for comfort. I ate for boredom. I ate the right foods. I ate the wrong foods. No matter what, I enjoyed it all even if it made me feel like garbage.
The one thing I didn't do, was stop tracking. I wasn't about give up after coming this far. Not giving up is the MOST important thing in my journey. I know, because I've given up lots of times. Tracking your food intake, even when it's bad, is keeping it in the road and being realistic. It's being accountable for your own actions. I didn't get all my workouts, but I got a lot of them. And when I couldn't get to my HIIT class or Toning class, I walked. I ran. I moved, in spite of myself.
The good news?? For the first time in a month, I feel like I am back on track. I've got 25 more to lose and I have come too far to give up or go back to what I hated--how I felt, how I looked, how I lived. So, I've signed up for the next Half Marathon (November 4th) and I am 100% positive I will reach my goal weight by then. It will give me the lightness I need to achieve a personal best. I'm excited. I'm motivated. I'm BACK!
Don't forget to drink your water.....it solves all your problems!

I lost a friend who was like a brother to me. His younger sister is one of my best friends in the world. His family is my framily. It was hard, but his body was tired. I know it's for the best but it doesn't mean I won't miss him and his kindness, laugh, and friendship.
