Well, its been a rough road. I had some solid weight loss, but after some health issues, I had a setback. Then, in my typical style, I really veered off track and gained weight (but not too much). So then I realized that I needed to get back on track. I really thought about where I go wrong and what keeps veering me off track - and its two main things; when my diet is not organized and portions. Sometimes if it is not strictly laid out to what I need to eat, I veer off course. The whole concept of not knowing is very hard on me and causes me to really get on edge. Also, I am not the best at measuring a portion out. If I get 13 chips and they are not whole, then I have to "guess" to what pieces constitute one chip. That can often cause me big problems.
So I enlisted my sister to step in. She makes my meals and measures my portions so that I don't cheat. I don't know how long its going to last - but it is going to last until I think I can handle it on my own. It is really working. I have only been at it since Monday (it's Friday) and I have gotten within a pound of where I was when I stopped earlier this year. I am happy because I have been able to get back on the diet plan. It isn't the easiest thing, but I really am having a better time of it this go round.
The hard part is getting back to the exercise. It is really hot here again. Like 100+ degrees with a heat index. So I am trying to figure out what it is that I am going to do to get in some physical activity. All this being said I am looking to find something that I can do to get a little burn in on those hot days. I think I am going to try to walk for 15 mins a day at least - for me it burns a little over 100 calories. Then I might try work out something that I can do inside (like a workout video or something) to get an indoor burn.
So at least I am back at it - for real this time!
