Wow.. it's been two weeks since I've posted. And just like 99.9% of other people who stop posting for a while, it's because I've been off track and just busy in general. It's been easier to just avoid checking in here and then actually pick myself up and continue on my journey. But today I'm here and I'm going to update all my numbers, as much as it may hurt. But being honest with myself and just putting it all up here is going to be a huge motivator, I'm sure.
Today I weighed in at 224.8lbs. I think that's up nearly 4lbs since I last weighed in 2 weeks ago, and up about 6 or so lbs since my lowest weight a few weeks before that. Ouch.
I have done okay with the exercise the last week or so, getting 3 solid workouts last week but the eating... it's been WAY WAY out of control. I ate because I was bored, because there was bad foods in the house, because I was hot, because I was in the kitchen, because the kids didn't finish, because it was my dad's birthday.... all of those horrible reasons and excuses to over eat, I used them. And it makes me sad because I've been working so hard the past 6 months and I thought that I had managed to retrain myself (or at least partially) in the way I deal with food, but evidently not so much. I've managed to leave a month weighing more than I came into it with. I've also managed to make achieving my goals of losing 50lbs by the 15th of July (my bday) and losing my 2nd 10% by the end of July very very difficult, if not totally unobtainable. Which really sucks.
I was supposed to do my measurements last Monday but did them today instead. Thank goodness they at least remained steady!!
4 weeks ago:
223.2 lbs
39" waist
45" hips
43"bust
Today:
224.8 lbs
39" waist
45" hips
43" bust
Total difference this month: 0" and +1.6 lbs
Total difference since start: 22" and 38.8 lbs
Enough with this beating up on myself though. I may have been a bust in the weight loss department this month, but I worked on a few other goals this month that are just as important.
1- I was accepted into SAIT, I've completed my registration, paid my deposit, applied for funding, and received over $2,000 in bursaries and grants.
2- I have taken necessary steps to get my divorce started. July should see a bunch more progress in this area.
Plus I've been able to spend quite a bit of time with M, which makes me very happy. My kids are in love with him and I'm pretty sure my mom is too. I've had to reign her in a little bit because she's practically ready to start planning a wedding LOL. Right now emotionally, I feel happier and more content than I've felt in a long time.
So it's not been all bad! July is a new month and even though I go on vacation to Fernie for a week, starting next Monday, I'm determined that this will be a great month for weight loss. I'm going to spend some time thinking about my goals for the next few months and post those tomorrow.
Anyways, I'm back!

glad you are back! sounds like you have a good plan in place to get yourself back on track. it happens to all of us...I go through periods where I am not as strict abou twhat I eat or feel lazy and dont want to exercise. as long as you get back into it, that is all that matters.
Awesome to have you back!! Sounds like you are staying positive & have lots going on!! Hang in there, we need you!!
I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, slips happen and the important thing is that you're back on plan now before you've undone all the good. You're nearly back to your low weight so just keep doing your best.
Hey...you'll always have set backs, but you're still down from the start. And, you're working on it again! That's the important thing...that you get back to it and not let the little blip ruin all your success.
June was a tough month for a lot of people, so you're in good company. :) Kudos for working to get yourself all sorted out and back on track!
