Back to Business

I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged. Three months is an eternity in the weight loss game. I think of all the weight I could have lost in the last three months and while I am disappointed, I am not going to beat myself up about it. There are definitely positives to take away from my time off-the-wagon; most importantly I haven't gained any weight back. Every other time I have lost any significant amount of weight I have managed to put it all back on in the weeks and months after going off of whatever diet of the month I had been on. The last couple of months I have eaten (end of sentence). There have been times of stress when I turned to the drive thru and times of down right bad decisions like MXN at 4 a.m. (last night) but it hasn't turned into a train wreck that I am just a passenger on.
I also wanted to say this next point is "most important" but now that I've thought about it I guess this next point is actually what I'm most proud of. Even though I haven't been as focused on eating what I need to to drop weight I haven't fallen away from my work outs. They have changed, less time with a personal trainer, more classes at the gym and I've added running to the mix but I never let myself go more than a day or two without moving and sweating. What that proves to me is that I have made permanent lifestyle changes that I know will stay with me forever. I've changed from a Big Girl to a Workout Girl...hugely proud of that!
So, it's time to get back to the business of losing weight. The first 50 pounds were by no definition easy and I am sure that the last 50 will be no run through the park but with all that I've learned and the tools I have added to daily routine combined with all the amazing people who support me unconditionally it should be easy peasy.
