Hi all,
It's been months since I was here, and I've been in total denial. I have gotten very complacent about my fitness/weight and had stopped checking in on the scale, stopped monitoring my food intake, allowing myself too many treats, not exercising regularly, etc. I noticed that I don't feel as strong and my clothes are not fitting right and I made myself get back on the scale. Not surprisingly, I've gained five pounds in the past couple of months. Bad, bad! I know better than this.
So, I am back here, feeling guilty for being away for so long. Life has been busy (but that will always be the case), and I have neglected my own health. I also realize how much I have missed my fatsecret buddies! I finally joined my local gym yesterday and am changing my food and exercise habits so hope to get this under control.
The holidays are full of temptations, but I hope to lose a pound or two by Christmas by exercising regularly and being more careful about my food, then start again on phase 1. I think I will need help from my buddies-- after being 'off the wagon' for a while I'm easily tempted again by stupid things that I know are bad for me (Chistmas cookies, a beer or two at dinner, etc.). I know you all understand this kind of thing better than anyone else, I need to check in more often and keep in touch with you all. Today's a good day to start!
