Nose Dive Off the Deep End!!
Jun 23 2009 11:08

Yup! That about sums it up! Completely jumped ship about an hour after my last entry (on June 5th!).  I've been letting all those normal "excuses" come up and take over!  We have eaten out more in the last two weeks than we have in months!!  Snacks galore!  I've been eating ice cream, going for seconds, and drinking beer just about when ever I please!!!  I have only been to the gym twice! 

I have been doing my Tues/Thurs workouts with my neighbor, one of which is always a really vigorous w/o and the other a lil less intense. But seriously the way I have been eating, I was prolly over maintenance even on those days! Eeeessshhh. 

Things really have been insane!  Selling your house is a bit of a headache!  We end up being out of the house most evenings, cause we'll have one realtor coming between 5:30 and 6:30 then the next between 7:30 nad 8:30!  It's hard to leave for an hour, come back for an hour then leave again for an hour! Not to mention that whole concept of keeping your house clean and tidy everyday!!!  Who does this??? 

So, dinner at home has been challenging to say the least, which does help with the mess but does not help with either the pocket book or the waist band.  I need to make up a plan where I can make larger meals only a couple of days a week and we can just warm up leftovers.  If I've said it once, I've said it a million times ~ Healthy living/eating takes a lot of time and preperation!  If I really want to succeed I have to make that sacrifice!

So I will!  Though I am disapointed in myself for taking a 2 week hiatus after only having been officially "back" for less than 3 weeks from a month long hiatus, I am going to focus on the positives to get myself motivated! 
    -The "breaks" are getting shorter.
    -Though it is miniscule I have been maintaing some form of weekly exercise.
    -Since this year has began, even though I have had several slip ups I am still making progress. Kinda like 2 steps forward, one step back. 

That's about all I can come up with at the moment but I am happy with the first one alone!  While I guess it still remains to be seen if I am officially back "on the wagon" since breakfast today consisted of a donut and a bag of chex mix!  Oh and I did not bring lunch, so that means lunch out!!  I did workout this morning but it will take a great amount of restraint for the rest of the day to end up with any kind of deficit. Perhaps I'll shoot for maintenace and call it a wash!!?? LOL

I do feel like I'm ready to get back at it!  I can honestly say I miss my gym workouts!!  I am excited about going back, which I already have plans to do for tomorrow!! 

Well ladies, gonna go try to catch up all of you!!!  Happy Tuesday!!!
