My school year is over. I was not very successful in keeping the weight I lost off. Lessons I have learned:
1) Keep weighing. A few weeks of skipped weigh-ins and you are unaware of the weight creeping back on.
2) Stay out of the staff area. Too many pitfalls. An off plan treat leads to MANY off plan treats. Make and take my own treats.
3) Make time for exercise above all else. No one will die if I take 30 min. to walk during lunch. However, I may die if I don't!
It's time now to regroup. I feel slightly defeated, but beating myself up will not help. I don't feel as strong right now as I did this time last year. It's going to take some time to get it all back on track. I started today with a LC breakfast and a walk. I want to make myself a priority. It's amazing how family members can suck you back in to their priorities and drama. I was raised to believe that anything I do for myself is "selfish" and I am stunned at how hard that message is to shake. So my new motto is, "How does this benefit me?"
So wish me luck...and stength...and joy in the journey!
