I'm in here... I know it!

I completed day one and am now in day day 2! 

I have managed to watch my eating, log it, work out, log that too and am just aware of what I am doing. This is huge to me right now. I am craving sweets somethinf fierce and am trying to control myself from ravaging my daughters easter chocolate that she still has! lol

I can do this! And whomever may read this... you can do it too!

May you all have a great day and if your day isn't going great... start

I haven't come on this site in about a year give or take. So much has happened in my life that I just lost myself for a while. I now find myself back in NS where life in someways is just upside down.I wont go into it though. 

With that said I need to regain control of things. Start a new path for myself. I am now Forty years old, a little overweight with some health issues. So, this is my starting place. Going to start to pay attention to what I put into my body, start

I fell off the wagon for the holidays... badly, not to mention fell into depression when I moved to Quebec. Both of these have resulted in an additional 20lbs. I feel ashamed. but... time to do something about it. I am not on week 2 of zumba and day two of calorie counting. I lost it once, I can do this again... I think.

It's been a long time. So much has happened in my world including moving to Quebec (I don't speak french!) and so much that I don't want to go into. With everything, I have managed to lose myself, mentally, physically. I still fit into the same clothes but they are getting tight and they just feel different. Instead of nice and muscle solid, I am getting lumpy hard... does that make sence?? 

So... I am aiming at a change starting today, or first thing in the mor

Been doing good with everything so far... up until today that is. I have hit a speed bump in my exercise regiment... I am sick as a dog! I have come down with a nasty flu/bronchitis/throat infection that wont let me work out. The good part is... my eating is wayyyyy down....lol. 

Hopefully a few days of rest and liquids and I will be able to get back on track.

Hope you all are having a great day!

I know it's only been a few days but so far so good... I am watching my eating... keeping it at a good healthy level, I am working out without over doing it and I feel good. I wasn't sure how I'd be on a holiday with hubby and the kids around, but, it is working. My hubby even joined me for an hour of Zumba. 

I must confess... I am really excited for Sunday... I personally believe in a rest/cheat day and Sunday will be that day for me. I figure I can have a slig

So... yesterday I got my HUGE slap in the face. I stepped on that scale for the first time in almost a year... Origonally I had lost 30 lbs 2 years ago... now I gained 17 of it back! I can't blame anyone but myself. My eating isn't bad for an active person who works out. I kept a lot of the things that I learned but... I kinda stopped working out. So... my diet hasn't being working for me. Imagine that?! ((Sarcasm))

Well, After this shock yesterday... I did an hour o

...

I stepped on the scale for the first time in over a month... I gained 4 and a half pounds. I knew I hadn't been so good lately but it was a bit of a slap in the face when I saw the numbers. I hate that this is always a battle. I was so proud when I hit 30lbs down and now... it's 25.5.

I did a long Zumba workout and am pumping water into me. I will hopefully get back on track but for this moment I feel very disappointed in myself.

Here's to a new begin

...

It's been a long time since I wanted to come on here, to watch my calories, to calculate my exercise, etc... I thought I had it down. I thought I don't need to focus on it all the time and I was right, to a degree. I have learned alot but sometimes I guess it's good to refocus. I find lately I feel like eating everything in sight and saying no to the workouts. I think I may have even gained a few pounds during the past week... I am too afraid to weigh myself. So, I am here and I am re-adjusting ...

I am back. I didn't give up on Zumba, I still do it, I still do my floor exercises. I haven't watched my eating as much but I think I have still done ok. I am nearing 30lbs down which means it's must be working, just slower than it could be. I am going to try to keep coming on here, it helped me so much and taught me a lot.

Here I am... again.
