I let my blog go. I let myself go. It’s been a long crazy year and I am trying to think about where to start. I will start with updates on the two biggest recurring themes of my blog last year:
First: weight loss update. Well.. when we were still having the challenge at work, I continued to do really well. I lost quite a bit of weight, was eating and feeling really healthy and I was exercising daily. I ended up losing the competition on the last day, because I had some wine at a friends birthday. (I had given up alcohol as part of the competition, so I lost points on the last day) I was ok with that. Losing weight and getting healthy was what was important to me, not the “prize” we got, which I don’t even remember what it was at this point.
After the competition ended, I continued to eat healthy and exercise for a while, but then I got a boyfriend and it all went to hell. (More on him in another post.) My boyfriend had the worst diet of anyone I knew. Fast food, tons of processed food, SODA and all sorts of bad stuff. Seeing him eat it made me want it and little by little I introduced all those terrible things back into my diet. The funny thing is, that I had been eating so healthy that he picked up some of my healthy eating habits and we kind of met in the middle and although my diet was way worse, his was way better even though we were pretty much eating the same things. I’m not blaming him. I made the decision of what to put in my body. I just need to be a little stronger.
I put back on a lot of the weight I lost. Not all of it, but a lot. Although I don’t know exactly how much, because I have been avoiding the scale like the plague. Today I will do it. I will get on the scale and get motivated to eating healthy again. Thats part of what this blog is about and I am going to use it to give me motivation. I can do it. I can get healthy again.
So thats the short of it as far as the weight loss goes. There is a lot to update you about in this past year. Stay tuned.
