And Then There's That.

As much as I want to say I’ve stayed on track since the last post, I can’t.
Life happens, as much as we all hate it… it just does. I made some crappy eating choices, but justified them by not getting sauces or fries. I stopped exercising because I just didn’t want to. I think I was kind of in a “funk.” It is HARD to eat healthy, to make the right choices, to change your daily habits. I think I’ve said this before, but it’s just the truth.
Today, kind of like I did last year, I am choosing to be healthy. I didn’t gain back much weight, about 5 lbs. That’s not good. I got “comfortable” with my weight loss and lost track of my ultimate goal. I’m not going to let that happen. I’ve set out to make a better me, and I AM going to achieve that goal.
Today I put on my active living pants or whatever, shoved the ear buds into my ears, put on my sneakers and walked. Yep. I just went for a walk. I had taken this route before with my cousin Brieann so I knew that one time around was a little over 1.8 miles. After my first walk through the “course” I decided to just do it over again. I was fast-walking on Buffalo during rush hour, when I saw another person jogging. She motioned for me to take out my ear bud, so I did. She asked me what size I was wearing and where I had started. I told her, and she told me her stats. We congratulated one another and then we moved on. Just like that, I was more motivated than ever. She’d given me the extra push I needed to make it through the walk. I know I can do this and I know that there are people out there just like me, wanting to do the same thing.
So, get up! Get off the couch! Talk a walk around the block. It’s more than you were doing before.
Until Next Time (which will be more often),
