Oh hey! Anyone there? I totally bailed on my blog for the last month and a half. Not much to say besides I just wasn’t really feeling it anymore. I wasn’t;t sure what I wanted to talk about and I’m still not 100% sure. I’m a girl. I change my mind a lot.
I was going to blog last night. I made a delish and healthy din and I was so excited to share, but then I realized my photos were gross so I didn’t. I made a homemade veggie burger for one with beans, oats, onions and peppers and it was pretty good for something thrown together last minute. I was proud of myself if I do say so myself.
Anyway, starting yesterday I am once again trying to lose weight. I really don’t want to live my life gaining and losing the same 15 LBS, but alas it’s been my life for the past 2 years. 2 year(ish) ago I lost 50 lbs and I am so PROUD of myself that I have kept it off, but I’m starting to creep towards a number I don’t like and I want to stop and lose 20 lbs. 20 lbs lost will still have me 10 above the highest for BMI but that’s ok with me. I was only 5 lbs away from this goal in March and I liked the way it felt so I want to be back there. My clothes fit better. I looked better. I was healthier.
I gained those 15 lbs back by eating and drinking too much and it’s about time for it to stop. I have kept a pretty consistent workout schedule during this time.. maybe a little less but I never stopped working out completely, and then it hit me. The key (FOR ME) is the EATING. So I am starting to track on sparkpeople for now and hoping that it will all click for me this time around.
Yesterday and today were both good days. I stayed within my calorie, carbs, fat and protein range and had 2 good workouts including a weights session today. I ate healthy foods like eggs, fruits, veggies, beans, Greek yogurt. But here I sit 730 PM just finished a delicious salad with avocado, corn on the cob and a dinner roll and all I want to do is keep eating and down a few pumpkin beers. What’s a girl to do?? Hopefully The Biggest Loser will distract me in 30 mins!!!!
So if I still have some readers, thanks for sticking around. My blog will probably be more weight loss adventures and less recipes but I’d love if you’d stay!
Hey there! I recently found your blog and I’m on my own weight loss journey as well – I just have a few more pounds to lose than you.
Glad you are back and writing.
Oh girl, I feel you. I’ve had the same “gain/lose” the same 15 lbs problem…ok, more like 20-25, but it has been DISASTROUS for me since I broke my ankle. I’m finally halfway mobile, but just when I get into a routine, the ankle has a flare up and I’m sidelined….sooooooo…..I REALLY have to watch what I eat…gah….
Welcome back girl!!!
We can do this
Love this post! I go through these feelings so often it isn’t funny. Well, maybe just a little funny. I have never had a significant weightloss that I’ve been able to keep off. A few years back I lost about 35lbs, only to gain 30 back. Yuck!
I am excited for you to get back in the game. Very proud that you have been able to keep up a regular workout plan. You are an awesome inspiration for me!!
i heard some time ago that your ‘fat cell’s have a memory and thats why we are prone to coming back to our highest weight, or, its harder to stay at a happy weight because your body remembers how big it used to be.. i find this so true. and its damn frustrating as well as i eat very little and exercise too much – i should be super skinny but i am not
but i am just trying to be happy with how i am, be content, and just focus on eating well and exercising right, thats all you can do!
keep up the great writing xx
