I'm Back!!...Again!!
So much has happened in the last two years since I last blogged and I'm sure I will be taking my time to reflect on all of it. But for now I am at the starting line ready to go!
In short, I left my job, got a new one, moved to a different city to finally live with my boyfriend after 3 years of long distance, a month later my mom was killed in a horrific car accident, I put most of my weight back on, struggled through lawyers, court dates and police for an entire year traveling back and forth every two weeks between where I had just moved and where I had moved from, then last week my boyfriend proposed.
So now I'm getting ready for a wedding!!
Go Jeanine Go!!

Super busy weekend. Gators are national champions!!! Lots of bad food. Lots and lots of beer. A lot of physical activity on friday and saturday. My muscles are pretty sore. My weight is even higher now. Instead of losing I gained 1.5lbs. Ugh.
17pts.

Well, here I am again. I am back up. My 11 in 11 challenge did not end well. The holidays were very fabulous, fabulousy full of food. Delicious bad-for-you food. Ugh. So I am up to 205, I haven't seen that weight in a long while. Probably over a year. So on January 1st, I started a new plan. I pledged 13 pounds to the pound for pound challenge. I have until April 1st to lose the 13. So I've already started. I will do the same point system as I did before. I am hoping that because I am way better caring for other people than I am caring for myself that this will motivate me to lose the weight that I have pledged. Also, I have told several people at work that I am doing this challenge, which means it will be embarrassing if I am not successful. This time around I am not just letting down myself. I am letting down others. Yikes. I hate disappointing people, but apparently have no problem disappointing myself.
I have worked out three times since the start of my new challenge and blogged once = 16pts. So here's to a new year, a new challenge, and getting rid of at least 13lbs!

20 days left. 8.5lbs to go... I'm making somewhat of a dent at least. Of course leave it to me to work on it at the last minute. I'm such a procrastinator. Grr! Things appear to be stable right now. I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm having a pedicure tomorrow, its a treat but not a reward. Patricia wanted to get one and asked me to come along and I said "sure." I haven't been eating all of my points and I know that is not good, but I don't really have a lot of food in the house, which is very good. I have been shorting myself about 4-5 points a day. I wonder how many calories I am eating a day?
27pts...23pts to go.

22 Days left of my 11 in 11 challenge. I have 9.5 lbs to go. Yikes. Around Thanksgiving I got up to 203.5, so I had to lose 3.5lbs just to get back to where I was. So I've lost 4lbs in two weeks or so. Thats actually really good when you look at it like that. I'm just going to keep doing the best I can to finish my challenge off strong, even though I won't meet goal. At least I can try.
+1=26pts. 24 to go :)
Time to watch biggest loser...

28 days left of my challenge and I still have to lose 10lbs. Brooks says that if I commit to lowering my calories and exercising for a longer period time daily then I will be able to accomplish that goal. I'm going to stick with the middle road and do the best I can. If I get close I'll be pretty excited. I hope I don't gain it back this time!!
I've earned 25 points so far...25 to go.

So far so good this week. Work is stressful, as usual, but I am trying to keep it together as much as possible. I've worked out 3 times this week already. I don't know that I stayed within my points all the days, but at least I was active. I have 29 days left in my 11 in 11 challenge (Time flies) and I have earned 24 points. I am nearly half way to 50. I have lost 1lb. I went up and down and up again. Even if I don't meet my final goal, I will be happy to at least finish strong.

Bad day at work today. I know it is important that I go to the gym, but I have so much work to do here at home. Sheesh. I feel speechless and overwhelmed.

Really rough week at work this week. It was hard to follow points and I definitely didn't exercise. I am very behind at work, I feel like I'm drowning. I feel anxious and depressed almost all the time. If just a little bit of the stress could lift off of me for like a day maybe I could breathe a little.
Tomorrow is weigh in day. I started my cycle yesterday, so we'll see how I'll fair. My life definitely needs to start improving very soon. I am at my wits end and I'm totally burned out. I need to take my life back and get control!

Starting over, again. Patricia and I are starting a new challenge. Eleven pounds in eleven weeks, the goal is obvious. The smaller goal is to work out at least twice a week and blog once. In addition, for everytime we work out, we get 5 points, everytime we blog, we get 1 point. We are working toward earning 50 points. If I earn 50 points, I get to buy a pair of new shoes. When I reach my 11 pound goal, I have earned an entire new outfit. Good luck to us. But, more than luck -- determination and commitment is what we need.
