So I'm a little slow lol

 But I am doing it now... Yesterday I got back to tracking and working out.  Short and sweet workouts so far, but it's something! I'm doing the Morning Meltdown 100 on BOD.  Arms and Core so far...I'm feeling it!  I've also been logging my food with WW.  So far so good!  Need to focus on more water these days!


Yesterday's dinner was tasty.  I wasn't sure about it before I made it - Sometimes you forget to cancel a HelloFresh delivery and you don't get to pick your meals...wound up with 3 vegetarian dishes.  This one didn't speak to me, but wound up being super yummy!  I only had half --- which was good after I logged it on the WW app. LOL Holy points..  but between cheese and couscous, I see why.  Super yummy though!!
Gonna stick with just a short and sweet update today.  Two workout pics as proof :) 


Tomorrow night we'll be visiting a supposedly haunted former asylum.  Not looking forward to all the stairs LOL but it's gonna be super interesting I feel!  I can't wait to get this weight off and not have to worry about being out of breath along with all the other hindrances this weight causes. Gotta get there!!

Oh man - it's been 2 years?!

 

Holy smokes... so I slacked a bit I guess.... And while I'd love to tell you I've worked super hard and reached goal weight....well, I haven't. (shocker!!)  

Well I don't know where I was last time I blogged, but I can tell you I'm heavier and likely less healthy now. ::sigh:: I kept tossing around the idea of getting back on here, and today I'm taking the plunge. I'm not waiting for a Monday...or for Halloween to pass...or until all the bad stuff is out of the house -- I'm saying "Hey, remember me?" now.  If you haven't read my blogs before here's a summary...(which I'm sure I've gone over after my many breaks before - so sorry for the repeat - I'll try to keep it condensed)

  • I've been overweight pretty much forever it seems
  • I've tried almost all the "quick fixes" and not so quick fixes- Atkins, Keto, South Beach, Herbalife, Shakeology, WW, VLCD, Diet Bets, Nutrisystem, ItWorks...
  • I rejoined WW online about 2 months ago and haven't really done anything with it... but I'm going to change that
  • I've got a BeachBody on Demand Membership that I'm not using... but I'm going to change that too!
  • I struggle with focusing on slow and steady wins the race.  My ultimate goal is so far away that I get discouraged often
  • I have anxiety and let it get the best of me
  • I self-sabotage and give up on myself a lot of the time
  • Luckily I have an amazing partner in life who loves me for me and will help me get to where I want to be!! 
I have plenty of bad habits - as we all do - but it's time to prioritize my health and well-being.  Time to make some changes.  When taking the pics above, I thought about doing the frumpy, no-makeup, bad angle pic that's depressing and blah.  Instead, I straightened my hair, put some makeup on and took some pics I felt good about.  I'm going to make changes and it's going to be noticeable no matter what.  I have so many pics just from life and candid shots to make me not feel good about myself.

So I'm not keep on as I have to make dinner (Roast Turkey, Acorn Squash) but I'm going to try to commit to getting on here frequently. Of course I'll keep it real - as I always do.  You get the good, the bad and the dirty ugly truth --- and I'll try to limit falling off the face of the Earth.  I'm gonna try to diligently track on WW and get back to working out some!  

Thanks for reading --
