Almost 2 years later I'm starting over again. I've been up and down with weight since then, but I am back at my heaviest! Ugh! And now I have no excuses. Life is good, none of the stressors I had years ago. Now I just deal with straight up bad habits and sugar addiction. I bought a fit bit HR, which is nice and I will use the calorie counter with fit bit only for convenience. I joined MyFitnessPal for awhile, but I miss the warmth of this community....so here I am. Gosh I hope I can really do it this time.

12/30/13 I did good. Worked out with the 30 day shred and I continue to feel stronger. I did swear at the roughest parts, but I did them anyway. It feels good to have the energy to do it and to feel energized after. It is also calming which is exactly what I have needed.
Now that I am exercising and got the sweets out the house, I can now focus on picking better food choices that will make me feel fuller longer. Lately things have been pasta heavy and that is not good for me -- just makes me hungry again sooner, even though it's filling at first. My hunger spikes are bad - I could almost take a bite out of my own arm! I need to get away from high glycemic foods. I remember that being a huge help a few years ago when I was actually losing weight. So step by step, I will get there.
I've given up putting in my exercise and diet log here, because my bodymedia fit doesn't sync up here. I ended up signing for myfitnesspal. I still prefer Fat Secret because of the User Interface and Community, but it's getting more tedious to go to both places. :(

Dec 29, 2013: Late last night I got the munchies! Hardcore! We took all the sweets out of the house last week, but then last night I remembered that there could be still a pint of super rich, super fatty, high calorie Vanilla Ice cream in the back of the freezer left from Christmas. And sure enough, unfortunately there was....but not for long, thanks to me and my weak will. (which is why no sweets can be in the house). Just proof that I can't have this kind of stuff around me right now. I know last time it took me about a full month to get rid of these crazy cravings, and it's just too early in the game - I will not resist if I have access right now.
But I did exercise today again and feel pretty good about everything else, so I'm over it already. Just live and learn. Moving on to do what's best.

DEC 28th, 2013: While I am still sore from my "angry" workout two days ago, I am doing better, but my thighs still yell at me when I need to bend down. Today I took a great trail walk through some redwoods, it was hilly, but not too much. Just right. My husband was a good sport as he was so tired and he agreed to go. (He knows I wouldn't go walking alone in that particular hiking spot) and after about a half an hour of the going upward, he actually started getting more energy. Then we both were able to pick up the pace. That's when I could feel my body responding and I was so very grateful. Not being anemic anymore is a life changer! It's nice to get more energy from working out. It's nice to feel more power during the mid workout. It's great not to have to yawn! And though my muscles ache, it's a different kind. They are pushed, but my muscles are not weakening.
I am calmer today which is nice. I also did great with my diet. So much temptation and I resisted and for some reason it wasn't all that hard. However, I do know, my issues come later, when the novelty of the new routine wears off. It no longer becomes a distraction for things that bother me. So I have to watch out for that once again and stay strong and keep my $#!T together. Today when I was remaining strong with my resistance to temptation, my husband's look of surprise was great and then he said "good for you!' and those words just fueled me and I continued to make good choices all day.

DEC 27, 2013 -OMG. My muscles are paying for yesterday's "Angry temper tantrum" workout. OOUUCH! Every...little...movement....hurts. But I didn't let it stop me today. I just did a lighter workout and then went bike riding today. And though I had to work this morning, I had some good support and was able to leave early and continue on with my vacation time. So that was wonderful. I am also very proud of myself that I abstained from my regular bad choices. I also rode my bike today to a sandwich shop, and usually I would add on chips and a sweet. I found myself ready to grab it just due to habit, but I caught myself and stopped.
I am still a bit bent at the universe and I am very concerned about the emergency health issue of a friend, and my heart is heavy. In the meantime, I will not use my worry and anger as an excuse to stuff myself with food, I will instead use those emotions to fuel my motivation to work it off. And though there is no one really to blame for any misfortune, it still feels really good to say screw you to something or someone. So when I start to feel defeated, I will just scream in my head, "Screw you universe!, I'm working out. Just watch me!"
And then after a good workout, I will be able calm down and remember the things I am still thankful for.
