Back around

Hey ladies...

I'm officially back around and re-motivated.  In a large part due to reading blogs on here - you guys rock!!!  Thanks for the sweet comments you've left - they're all read and VERY appreciated!!!!

My hubby went on a business trip last week and that is a HUGE downer for me.  I'm a stay at home mom of 2 small boys - a 5 year old in preschool and an 18 month old.  Both hilarious, wonderful kids - but when my hubby's gone that leaves just me and children for about 95% of the time.  Imagine days with NO other adult contact.  It can certainly get trying.

SO... the first 2 days he was gone were no fun for me and I made awful eating choices and no exercise to boot.  I felt extremely guilty about it all so I started making better choices after that but still wasn't up to my usual.

He's back now, thank God, and so is my motivation!!  I've been back to working out daily in my normal routine for the past 2 days and eating all the right things, as well.  I've just gotten back to my pre-funk weight though with all the crap choices I made so a lot of time wasted but it's water under the bridge, I suppose.

I REALLY want to try to hit my goal of 160 by June but I feel like that might be setting the expectation too high as time goes by.  That would mean that I would need to lose roughly 7 pounds a month starting now through June.  It may be do-able, though, and I'll cerrtainly keep trying!!

Big hugs - Janet

Hey!

Hey Janet!  Thanks so much for the comment!  That meant a lot to me.....I'm doing a lot better now...no more feeling sorry for myself...haha.  I'm glad things are better for you too....sounds like you're definitely committed to kicking tail this time....haha.  I'm sure with little ones around that this whole weight loss thing is sooo much harder, so I really admire you for losing so much already, and definitely for continuing to lose!  That is so great! :D  I think you'll definitely reach your goal.  I know you, WE, can both do it!  Hope you have a great night and that I hear from you soon!

that's great!

That's great you are feeling a burst of motivation. I love those. I have found that they come and go and not to be too distressed when the energy wanes.

Boy 7lbs a month would be amazing. Good to keep that loose because that would be an intense level of weight loss. But hey! How cool would it be :)
