Too long delayed

So sorry for the delay in writing. Unfortunately, this won't be long. I'm proud to say that I celebrated my "Stay and Succeed" award this week on Saturday.

Though it was a rough week with my son's Baptism celebration (too much yummy food and cake) and my birthday, I still managed to lose 1/2 a lb. This brings my total in 16 weeks to, drum roll please....... 31.5 lbs!

Pretty exciting. I feel like I am at a point where it would be easy to back off, so that being said, I need to pick it up and re-energize myself. I went on an 8 mile bike ride on Saturday. I am also challenging myself to do at least 2 more exercises this week. My leader, Angela challenged us to do 10 minutes, 3 times this week. I will definitely do that.

So, till next time!

STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a bad person, I'm just at a maximum limit of my stress level. Right now, I have exactly 11 minutes to write a blog and eat my popcorn. Yes, popcorn. It's not the best lunch. I already had celery and carrots and a small pita with turkey and cheese. It's not ideal, but it's my life today.

My life is Hectic, busy, crazy, insane and all of these things right now make me.... STRESSED out! Which could probably account for my .2 weight gain on the scale last week. How mad was I? So mad in fact, that I cheated for the first time since I started my new lifestyle. I know it's not right, I know it wasn't the wisest decision, but yesterday I ate a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and I had FRENCH FRIES! My tummy wasn't so happy with me. Well, it was at first, but not so much later in the day.

Anyhoo, I don't have time to write except that I'm back on track. I plan to lose my .2 and then some and am even hoping to hit my 10% goal this Saturday. I promise to do my best to write more often and I apologize for the large gap!

Little change for today, reminding myself to breath. My new job requires discipline, my lifestyle and healthy eating choices require discipline!
