Well, I was down last week to 153 and was within 10 lbs of my goal and I don't know if it is psychological or what, but I totally fell off the wagon and gained 3.1 lbs this week. Ugh. I swear whenever I get within range of a goal or milestone, my head gets in the way or something. Of course, I know some is bloat from good old Aunt Flo (I know TMI) but nothing I can do about that other than exercise and drink lots of water which I have gotten out of that routine. So hit a hard restart today. Dragged my butt out of bed with a gentle nudging of my coach (the cat) and did Jillian's yoga meltdown level 2. Been bad about my exercise DVDs lately would rather be outside, so have been biking and walking. I even started a walking club in town and people actually showed up! So excited about that. Discovered they have yoga in the park every morning so I may try and do that before work since I love being outside and I like yoga - never down real yoga. I know Jillian's isn't your typical yoga. Being feeling in a funk lately so maybe that would help. I also walked to work today, so that is good. I'll be back on track soon. I'm out of mountain dew, so I am going to try and kick the habit. Or at least cut way back. Empty calories, nothing other than mental happiness that I get from that! So wish me luck with that!
Been spending as much time as I can with Dad. Still hard to see him slipping away but find that the more time I spend with him the more he remembers me. I also been trying to take him out for walks so he gets out of the house and he really seems to enjoy that. I know all of this is hard on mom, so that is hard to see. But one day at a time, that is all that we can do. My aunt used to say to me when I was down - actually she would sing it. "One day at a time sweet Jesus, that's all that I am asking from you".
Hope all of you out there are plugging away and not giving up!
