Consistency

Well, I’m back for the second time now…I had a couple of the busiest weeks I can remember so I apologize for not keeping up on my blog. Somebody told me they miss reading about my journey so I felt bad about that. So here it goes, I will try to get back on track for three times a week on updates, for sure on Wednesday’s. I haven’t been eating like I am supposed to when i’m stressed like normal. I also haven’t been exercising as regularly for the last couple weeks.  The good news is that I felt like crap not doing any of those things, so I have gotten back into it this weekend with a vengeance and already feel better. I really…really need to keep track of what I eat and journal it – that is so important with my lifestyle.  My best friend from childhood’s wife passed away last week unexpectedly which really hurt me bad for the guilt I felt in staying in touch with my friend as much as I should have as his wife was struggling a lot over the last 7 years since her bad car accident. Now she is resting in peace and without constant pain. I learned a lot again from my boys and how strong they were in helping me get through another friend passing away. It really really motivated me to make sure I take care of myself as best I can because you never know when the Good Lord is going to tell you it’s time to take you home. It’s important to live everyday to the fullest. I know that being lighter and in better shape it will help me enjoy each day a little more and I know it will help with my life expectancy as well. It will certainly help with chronic conditions and pain that my joints will have later in life so i’m hard at it once again! I am happy to report that I maintained my weight of 280 for the last 3 weeks. However, this week I dropped to 277.4 pounds which I am very happy with. Baby steps and consistency is what I have to keep remembering. I didn’t have to give up a lot, I just had to eat normal and not have second helpings and choose my snacks wisely. If I can do it anyone can do it! Looking forward to hearing from some of  you on your ups and downs as well…
