Well i know i haven't been on in a while but thankfully i am back to 100%. Those 2 wks that i was down due to illness was not fun at all. I told many people that i would not even wish that on my worst enemy. I was not only sick but had to postpone my diet for them 2 wks. But thankfully i only gained back 4 of the 7 that i lost. So when i started back up my diet this Tuesday i was still down 3 lbs. Hopefully Monday when i weigh myself again i will be back down a couple more pounds. I am taking things a little slower this time though because they want you to cut alot of things out of your diet immediately. I have been eating healthier foods for a long time now except for the occasional ice cream or chocolate. lol So the main thing that i need to focus on is only eating one serving of the carbs and proteins. If i get hungry i need to remember to snack on veggies and fruits. Those are considered "free" foods. We will see what happens. I realized while on vacation over Labor Day weekend that i am not happy with my body at all. I envision a whole different person when i look at myself and my body is not reflecting that. So its time to change it. Not only for the health effects that it will have but the self esteem that i will get back as well. I will try and be on more and more but today my plate is full of laundry, housework, and getting the camping stuff put away for the year. Which in a way makes me sad because i have loved going on these trips. The memories that my hubby and i are making for our kids has brought them so much joy and has been wonderful for us. I am seeing alot of things through their eyes and it just amazes me. I am trying to see if i can maybe talk the hubby into one last trip when the leaves begin to change color. I just have to figure out the best way to ask him. lol =)
Have a great day everyone and thanks for reading!
