Its kind of funny how you don’t always do what you intend to do. I seem to have these great plans that at times get the wind knocked out of them. I last wrote on here when I was half way through the “Ultimate Reset” and because I never posted past the half way point you might assume I failed to finish. Well I did finish that reset and I lost over 30 pounds. More importantly, I learned a lot. I permanently changed some things in my diet like more water and no soda. I wish I could say that figured it all out and have I have seem nothing but success. But recently, I have not been as disciplined as I need to be. Which is a fancy way to say that I have pretty much just ate whenever whatever and as much of anything I wanted to. I have also not been exercising. Instead of just falling, I pretty much just did a nose dive off “the wagon”.
I’m not giving up by any means, I am just being real, it is so much easier to let my appetite be in control. I am still changing and I am still on a journey but it is hard. It is hard to stay focused on what could be (longer life, better health, more energy, being a positive example to my kids) rather than give in to the delicious familiar comfort that for me food often is.
Its hard but I intend to keep trying and learning. I am not the person I use to be nor am I who I should be. I am going to keep learning from my success and… my failure.

Glad to hear you had success in your challenge. I too am working on becoming healthier. I joined a fitness challenge and joined a team to share recipes, tips, and words of encouragement itch. It is hard “going it alone”. I like that even though you strayed from your goal for a while, you realize the worthiness in getting back in the groove. I think of mine as healthy choices rather than a diet. Thanks for the update.
Thanks Dottie. I agree, if we are going to be successful in the long run it is going to take lifestyle changes. Good luck in your journey to health and congrats on joining the fitness challenge!
