Weeellll, here we are again my loyal followers. I am back in business again! The highest weight loss reported was last February, which was 30 pounds. I got my bloodwork done in June and everything was perfect. I had improved dramatically and needed no meds at the time. Sooooo, I thought cool and being the carbohydrate addict that I am, quickly went off the wagon. The good thing is that to this day, I rarely eat anything white, as in potatoes, pasta, rice and bread. For this, I am very pleased with myself.
As I sit here tonight, I am at 7 pounds form the 30. So, yes, all of you mathematicians out there...I have gained 23 pounds back. I have been so upset with myself and so avoiding blogging again, but over the past week I have really wanted to get back with the program. As many of you know, my personal swimsuit season is right around the corner and I do not want to look like a whale laying on the beach in sunny Florida!
I have lost 5 pounds in the past week. I have walked a couple of times around the neighborhood and down yard work. It is a start :)
The most compelling thing that I want to say is that how bad I feel about disappointing all of my followers who have taken that step toward healthy living and weight loss. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, an Activity Director colleague, and it is because of this blog that she started her own exercise and dieting program. I felt happy that I had influenced a person's life, but totally embarrassed that I had not only let myself down, but I had let her down as well. I am so sorry for that Marybeth!
That is it for today! I will be working out after school on Tuesday if any of you Spartans want to join me in the Fitness Center??
