Where has the time gone...
It has been 5 months since I have last posted...and I'm bittersweet about it.
I am happy to finally be back...but I am sad because I have to report that during these past 5 months... I've gained all the weight I've lost PLUS some.
I know its a culmination of stress; from starting my new job, eating out more; mexican food is my arch nemesis, not exercising; finding out I have a Thyroid issue, and lets not leave out coming up with any excuse to justify it.
I can attribute some of the extreme fatigue, migraines, and SOME of the weight gain to the Thyroid, but not ALL of it.
For those of you who follow Mama Laughlin blog over at, Mama Laughlin: Wife, Boy-Mom, Fitness Fanatic.Laugh a Little, would have seen her post the other day that seriously made me reevaluate my life.
It was about 'Accepting what you have done to yourself' and moving forward with a new lifestyle change. She was so spot on to exactly how I have been feeling these past few months, It was almost creepy :-D
I was recently looking back at my Weigh-In-Wednesday's from January of this year and I remember being SO disappointed that I weighed 159. I have gained just around 6 pounds since my January Weigh-In-Wednesday, which some people would say is very little and I shouldn't worry about it, but I was already overweight and was needing to be losing not GAINING. It's SO much harder to lose it once its packed on. I know people understand that!
Most days I want to cry...honestly. Other days I try to workout and get myself into a routine and a plan to starting losing again. Then some days, I throw my hands up in the air and say F'it and eat Mexican food, which leads me back to the first thing.
I feel like I am trapped in this cycle and I cannot get out of this loop.
So, I am starting all over again. My plan to sign myself for another 5K and get my butt ready for it. My work is doing a 5K this Saturday and I plan to sign-up to do it. I kept going back and forth all day yesterday on if I really wanted to do it. More to come....my next adventure is just starting!
I'd love to hear what others do when they workout at lunchtime.
