Truth

Feb 19, 2015

So here I am, I was a poster child of perfection, I was down to 130lbs and then I stopped working. I started drinking alcohol and just eating what I wanted and not measuring and not making time in my day to exercise. So now I am up 37 pounds from where I was. How did I get here, well I already said it but there is a lot more to it. Stuff happens and I did not deal with it very well. I also was diagnosed with a medical condition that is not really under control yet. I lost 2 great friends in a plane crash and then in February of last year I lost another really close friend. I don't think I dealt with that very well and here I am, drinking too much alcohol and eating my feelings. I am tired and don't want to work out. I can still do stuff with my kids and that is important to me. So I have made a decision, I am giving up alcohol and bread (chips, tortillas, cookies, cake) for Lent. What better way to get back to taking care of me? Yesterday was rough, but I survived. Sometimes you have to go back to the basics to get back on track. I am logging on my fitness pal and opened my diary, so no hiding. I feel like I am standing naked in front of the world but maybe that is the only way I will make it. As far as the medical condition, yes, I can blame some of it on that because the medication I am on does slow my thyroid down, but I am also not exercising or doing my part. Lent will be a time to see what happens if I actually do what I am supposed to do, log, drink water, exercise, keep my carbs low. My sleeve is not broken, time to get my mind right for this again. I can do it, I DID do it. Now back to work!!
