Surprising and Proud

Well, I weighed myself this morning for the first time since April. I was pleasantly surprised. I figured I was hovering around 240 just because of the crap I've been eating lately, not to mention the lack of exercise. Well, I weighed 233. How cool is that?!? As my ticker says along the side of my blog...only 18 more pounds until I meet my goal for the end of the year.

Makes me wonder if I really have been listening to my body and what it wants. I've tried to keep my food variety kept in moderation as to not deprive myself (this as I just finished a bowl of cookies and cream ice cream).

Now to really find what is working, and improve on those points. Logan, thanks for your advice. You're right and little goals it is. I'll keep you updated as I continue on this journey.

Trying again

So not sure why I didn't follow through with my goals, but I'm having another go at it. It'll be the same as before only I will accomplish them. LOL

I think some of my biggest hang ups right now are not being able to cook like I want to. The kids don't eat what I do (even though I know they should) and with Loney working nights, I feel like it's not worth the effort. I think more stews, soups, and such are going to be my best friend. Easy to make, easy to re-heat, and not much calories.

I think I'll try to find my kitchen tomorrow...perhaps that will help with some of my issues.
