Going with the momentum

Well, I was super successful last year in dropping 40 pounds. Then I decided to take a break over the Christmas holiday (the entire month), and I just couldn't get back into it like I was before. Then I started to go back to work, and that made most of my "me" time disappear. I have been spending lots of time contemplating my current situation, and I know I'm not happy with my weight (I'm happier than I was, but not satisfied yet), so I have to do something. Where could I find the time to exercise, and the energy and focus to stick to my diet?? I discovered that I like to do things that are hard and challenging, so I have committed to going to the gym after the kids go to bed at least 4 days a week, and sticking to my diet 90% I have shaped up my shopping habits, so I won't be tempted to bring home "snack" foods that turn into diet disasters (mini rice-cakes that are ok to eat a couple of handfulls of, but that I find myself eating by the bagfulls, etc.). I may not be thin by June, but I will be stronger and healthier than I was in January, and that's a great thing to work towards! Baby steps...

Can't wait to see you all!

I can't wait to see you all. Thank you so much for sending me the money for the cabin. We are going to have a great time. I hope you will all check out the list of activites I sent to you and let me know if you have other ideas. How is your weight loss going? We are on the home stretch now. For many of us however, we will continue our weight loss through this year and into next year. You still have time to lose weight. It's not too late. Cut out the soda, chips and candy and replace it with Vitamin water 10 (my new personal favorite) and baked tortilla chips or popcorn. We can do this together! See you in a month!
