I'm still here!

I just haven't really been in the blogging mood lately...especially when it comes to my weight loss journey. :-/
I haven't done that well the last few weeks. I could give a lot of excuses but I'm not going to. I just haven't done well. But a day or two ago I went out with a few friends late one night. I had already had supper so I just had a "snack". But I still felt miserable. When I got home I told myself, "See Sarah! It's not worth it." It doesn't matter if it's just a "snack". If I don't need it then it's not worth it. I've been struggling along in other ways too (I believe that's part of the reason why I was struggling so bad with the eating) and talked to the Lord about that too. So I'm starting again. I'm rededicating myself to this journey and to the Lord in this journey. I'm going to try to do some sort of physical activity every day. Even if it's not "official" like a workout DVD. I'm also going on a scale "fast". I used to always like to know where I was but it has become more of a hindrance to my "new way of life" than a help here lately. I would get all fired up, be good for a few days or a week, step on the scale, and when I didn't see what I wanted to - significant loss- it major bummed me out and I would "fall off the wagon" again. I went through that cycle a few different times. Therefore, this time I'm back on track but, so that I don't get caught up in the "instant" results, I won't be weighing in for a while. Maybe a month. I need to focus on getting more motivated and active and eating right; on creating a healthier life style. Not on how fast the numbers are dropping...or aren't dropping. So, I'll see ya around. Pray for me! :-)

Jumping Back on the Bandwagon

Well, now that I have gotten back on track exercise wise, it is time to jump full on to the "eating right" bandwagon. For one reason or another I have not been able to weigh myself for 3 weeks now. I weighed myself this morning. Not good. I gained 4 pounds. In 3 weeks. I hate having to admit that but if I am going to get serious I need to use this accountability thing. So, today I am back to only eating meals, no seconds, and wise choices in food selection as much as possible. That is my plan. No "dieting". I am creating a new way of life, not doing something that I will quit once I lose the weight. 
As far as exercising goes, I did my quickie mile and a half on Monday and today did the full 4 miles. Boy was I glad I did once I stepped on that scale!
